My First \'How Badly Did I Play This Hand\' post :)
It's a micro-limit online game. I have no read on the three other players involved.
I'm dealt AdJc two to the right of the button. Two early/mid position players limp. I limp. All fold to the BB who checks. (Is a limp correct here?) 4.5 SB in the pot. Flop comes Qd Ts 3s. Big blind bets. One limper calls. I call. (I'm getting 6.5:1 pot odds on my call. I can't define the big blind's hand yet, but the limper probably does not have trips or two pair. I have 3 'clean' outs in the non-spade kings and 4 'maybe' outs in As, Ac, Ah, Ks. If all my outs were clean, I'd be getting the pot odds to call. However, if I do hit a clean king, I'll probably get lots of action, as it's likely to make someone two pair or a lesser straight. Should I have folded here? I think there's some guideline about chasing a straight draw with a two-flush on the board...) 3.5 BB in the pot. Turn comes Tc [Qd Ts 3s]. Big blind and limper both check. I check. (Should I bet here, representing a ten? Both of them might be on flush draws, or have Qx or 3x. I don't think that either of them are trying for a check-raise with turned trips...why would either believe that there'd be a bet after their check? They might believe my bet, thinking I called with middle pair on the flop. Did I wuss out in checking, or is it better to take a card and hope to hit a non-spade ace or king?) 3.5 BB in the pot. River comes As [Tc Qd Ts 3s]. Big blind and limper both check. I check. (Should I bet here? Again, I'm not that scared of a check-raise, and it's unlikely that someone has trips or better. Some hands that beat me (AK, AQ, A3, Q3) might check here, scared that I was on a flush draw. The early position player probably doesn't have AK since he limped pre-flop, but the big blind might. AQ probably would have bet the turn (BB) or raised the flop (the early position player). Q3, A3 is a possibility for either player. I should have bet, I suppose.) I win with my pair of aces. Big blind shows Qs 7c..top pair, weak kicker with a backdoor flush draw. Early position shows Kc 3c...bottom pair, one over-card. Where'd I mess up? What did I do right (aside from picking a game with passive opponents)? PP |
