7-handed, C/R middle-pair weak-kicker
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks. Flop: (7 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font> Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds. Turn: (6 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>... Just started at the table, so no reads on the players. Everyone checked to someone in relatively late position and he bet - doesn't mean much. The pot was fairly large, so I was given 9:1 on my call, which is more than the 8:1 I needed. I certainly wasn't folding! There were many people to act after me, the pot was large, the bettor could have crap, and I can represent a much stronger hand. All of those together tell me I should be raising and making people face two-bets cold. When it became heads-up on the turn, I kept up with the aggression. If he raised me here, I'd fold. Anyone think I should have played this differently? If he calls the turn, what's your line on the river when you don't improve? Bet/fold? Check/fold? |

You'd have a case for the c/r if there wasn't a caller, but I think you're just paying too much for your draw in this case.

I think you'll have too many weak Aces call you down here. I would just call the flop to chase my draw. I don't mind the huge field. Strong draws like flushes and straights are not folding and you most likely dont have the best hand right now.

Re: 7-handed, C/R middle-pair weak-kicker
Correct me if I'm wrong...still learning odds...isn't it 8 to one to flop a set if you hold a pocket pair and 223 to 1 to hit your set or trips on the turn? If so, with that many in the pot, someone has an Ace and the odds are against. I fold.

Re: 7-handed, C/R middle-pair weak-kicker
You're thinking about completely different hands entirely. I was drawing to 5 outs, not 2 outs. With a 5-outter you're 8:1 against making it on the next card. With a 2-outter you're 22:1 against making it on the next card.
