First, welcome me to Party Poker, took the plunge, got rakeback and $100 bonus, so here I go into .50/1. Made 16.7BB/100 1st session over 250 hands, so my next ones a freeroll, woohoo! Decisions are soo much easier when you can use Gametime+, too.

Heres a second nut straight I rivered.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.5. MP1 posts a blind of $0.5.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 (poster) checks, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO (poster) checks, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Family pot. I considered raising but chickened out.

Flop: (10 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (10 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 checks, CO checks, Hero bets, SB raises, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero calls.

Standard value bet, unfortunately(?) SB scared the field away.

Turn: (8 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero calls, SB calls.

UTG wakes up, I hope my 6 outs are still good. plan on folding to SB check/raise and UTG reraise.

River: (11 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero calls

UTG+1 scares me, calling 2 cold on flop, betting turn and river when flush card comes. I remember a thread (cant find it now though) where calling is recommended as far better than raising this river, not primarily because of the possible flush/nut straight, but you're encouraging the overcall from SB to make up for your missed raise if you're ahead, and not spewing chips if my read is right. Is that the general play?

OK, heres a bonus where you can berate my bad play.

Awesome table selection.

Hand one looks good, obviously you are worried about the flush, but you could still lose to a higher straight.

Hand two I bet the river, and call a raise. If it's raised and 3-betted behind me, it's a pretty easy muck.

I would definitely raise Hand 1 preflop. Ridiculous table, man [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
