Looks like you saved yourself a quarter!

I don't think I'm betting that turn...

Wow.

Fold preflop. Well, ok, it's 6max, so i guess you can call, but cold calling 2.5 with 6 high is scary. I don't think you hit a big draw often enough to make it worth it.

Flop is interesting, but i think it's good.

Leading the turn doesn't gain you anything. Just check/call.

This river case is amusing, but even if CO was bluffing the entire time (which happens less than 1/80 times), you're not even beating a bluff. Nice laydown [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Not necessarily.


23,697,528 games 41.781 secs 567,184 games/sec

Board: Ts 3c 7c 8h
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 31.0690 % 30.22% 00.85% { 6c5c }
Hand 2: 34.4717 % 33.34% 01.13% { random }
Hand 3: 34.4593 % 33.33% 01.13% { random }

The upper end of your straight makes a higher straight for any J, so it is not a clean out.

IMO pf is when you should have folded this hand. You can't play small SC's for 2.5SB pf against hands you're surely behind.
