Ugly Hand

luckyplayer · #1 02-26-2005, 07:55 PM

I felt completely clueless on the turn and river.

Table full of LPP.

Ultimate Bet 0.01/0.02 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.01.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero (poster) checks, BB checks.

Flop: (8 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (8 players)
Hero bets, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls.

Turn: (7 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 players)
Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, MP1 folds.

Question: I know that if I'm beat I have draws, but should I have check-called into this board of fish?

River: (11 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets, CO calls, Button folds, Hero calls.

Question: Even though the pot is fairly large, does the call before me affect my decision to call here?
Final Pot: 14 BB

You played like your hand was weak, when it wasn't doing to bad in this field.

On the turn you now picked up a flush draw, and you already have 2 pair/trip outs. You should raise the turn, call the 3-bet, and with the card that improves your hand, bet/call a raise.

preflop and flop are fine. turn i bet and call a raise. river is a check call for me.

I keep betting this hand until anyone raises.

FWIW

WIth 5 callers on the flop I think the 5h probably helped someone but by checking the turn you'll never find out. I would lead the turn and decide from who and where you are raised from how to proceed. If only called I would lead again on the river.
