Re: The Perfect Storm
I guess it goes without saying that button is an idiot (cold-calling not once, but twice preflop). Now the question is when do you believe that he's an idiot. I'd not believe it until he showed me his cards, so I'd probably play it the same way.

Re: The Perfect Storm
With a flop like that, I may just call the 3-bet rather than cap.
Other than that, nothing you can do except put these guys on your buddy list... especially UTG. EDIT: Now that I think about it, I would have probably called the 3-bet on the flop for sure, and put the button on a set. When the K came on the turn, I would again cap, and probably not slow down on the river, either. It's very hard to give credit for 76o with that kind of preflop action.... but, now you know this guy is a loose idiot. |

Re: The Perfect Storm
Yes ... originally I was thinking another high pair, but with no aggressive action pre-flop, I was thinking he'd flopped a set, and was getting nervous until I saw the turn, at which point I jumped back out guns blazing. The only rational thing I could put UTG on was a flush draw, so I feared a check raise on the turn and checked through. When I saw the 67o win it, I blew steam out my ears and forced myself to type "good play". Aaargh!

Re: The Perfect Storm
Not the hands I would expect your opponents to have after the preflop action. Yikes.
Not sure when I would think I may be beaten, maybe when the button 3 bets me on the flop (I also think this screams set). If K does not come on the turn, I definitely slow down. Too many players showing too much strength for one pair to take down a pot this big. I don't see anything wrong with the way it was played. The third heart really makes me think I am hosed, I would probably check/call also. Gojacketz |

Re: The Perfect Storm
What went wrong is that you turned that King [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Then you didn't yell "PAIR THE BOARD" loud enough before the river. Hard hand to get away from. Once I made my set on the turn I'd probably play like you. |
