Flopped the Devil's Hand..now what?

Wisch · #1 08-23-2004, 12:37 AM

Flopped a set of 6's..tried to stay aggressive, but meeting some resistance. No real reads on any of the other participants.

I lurk a lot in here and don't always have time to post, but I am going to try hard to be more active in posting hands from now on. Reading only gets you so far. Time to put myself out there. Thanks in advance for the help.

Looks good to me. BB have AQ?

I'm raising the river for value. Back door flush betting out the whole time?

I don't raise the river for value as a backdoor flush and 4 card straight are on the board, but i definately call it.

rmarotti · #5 08-23-2004, 08:20 AM

Reading hastily I missed the straight. Would you still just call if only the backdoor flush had come in?

Would anyone just call the flop here to induce overcalls? Just curious because that was my first instinct (given the fairly uncoordinated board) and I want to know if that's bad or not [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I agree with the way you played the hand, except for maybe the capping at the turn. With a possible straight on the board, it would pay to be a little more cautious.

SB have a Q4? It seems strange that he never bet or check-raised with something that could beat your set.

SB showed 8-4o to take it down. He had the straight on the turn. Not sure why he never raised it, but I guess the others (including me) were doing it for him. River club must have scared him as he didn't raise there either.

Not convinced I should have slowed down the Turn. No guaranties that a straight was made, and I still had outs to a boat. I guess the monster was really under the bed this time.

I think you played this fine. Since BB got a free play, you can't put him on much of anything. He almost certainly doesn't have QQ and it's doubtful that he'd have AQs, so the only thing you should worry about is a junky straight.
