Very questionable 33 hand
OK, sorry to say it, but I have little to no reads on anyone. I was fiddling around trying to get playerview to work while pokertracker was crashing while 4-tabling, so I really don't know much of anything about the players in question. There seems to be a lot of room for debate on this, what do you guys think?
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP2 posts a blind of $2. CO posts a blind of $2. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 (poster) checks, CO (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, MP2 calls, CO calls. Flop: (11 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, MP2 folds, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, Button calls, SB calls.

Re: Very questionable 33 hand
Looks fine except 3-bet the turn, you're not shutting anyone out at that point.

Re: Very questionable 33 hand
Sucks that SB bet the flop but with the pf raiser behind you I probabbly raise and see if you could get a nice pot builder going. The turn raise is strange but I'm three betting here if capped I check/call the river if not I lead the river.

The pots pretty big and you're probably getting a fair bit of action with the ace + PF raiser behind, so i'd raise this multiway flop automatically. Having said that this flop is pretty ragged... Also, no-one's questioned the PF decision. Maybe my table selection blows but i rarely expect 4 opponents on the flop at this limit. Do you not require at least 4:1 to play small PPs? In this hand you're initial investment of 1BB earned you 10.5BB (and you should have reraised the turn). Is it commonplace to play 33 UTG+1 or just cos it was a nice table (ideal would be loose passive preflop and loose-agg postflop, i'm thinking)? |

Re: Very questionable 33 hand
Unless you are at a tight passive table, I think the evolving consensus is that you should be playing any pair UTG in most low limit games. Either there will be a calling station or two who will pay off all the way to the river, or you'll run into TAGs or LAGs who will put in several bets postflop with a second-best hand often enough to turn a big enough profit. Plus, if you do wind up something like HU or 3-way, you can sometimes play the hand profitably postflop without a set, depending on the flop, players, and position.

Re: Very questionable 33 hand
There were two extra blinds in this hand, MP2 and CO, which makes this an easy call. The only thing I would have done different is raise on the turn.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't know if the call is easy since I wasn't there, but there are many table textures where open-limping small pairs in EP is fine, regardless of people posting blinds behind the button. |

Re: Very questionable 33 hand
I think the flop smooth call is fine, and I'm not slowing down on the turn until he gives you a little more reason to, esepcially since you have SB trapped. Its much more likely that he loves his AK or hit with A8/A9 than he has AA which is really the only hand you can be too afraid of here.

Re: Very questionable 33 hand
..looks pretty standard.
You had the best hand. Two pair paid you off nicely. Why didnt you put more money in on the turn? |

Re: Very questionable 33 hand
I kinda had a brain fart momentarily and wussed out for no good reason. Hence the river stop-and-go.
