flopping the nut straight

#1 12-03-2005, 08:20 PM

Was there any other way to play this hand or was this a bad beat? Should I have checked to the preflop raiser, then called when he bet out, and hoped to check raise on the turn?

On the river it is more likely you are tied or beat than tied or winning. Bet call, three betting is way too much.

Don't post results. Fold preflop in this position. I'm not sure if I 3bet once the board pairs. Other than that, nothing you can do.

check raise/cap flop.
bet/raise/cap turn.
when CO wakes up on that board pairing ten, don't 3-bet.
if you're ahead you may get MP3's overcall.

(Haven't looked at the results.)

Ugh. Dude, he capped the flop. That means he's got 2-pair or a set, oh, 99.44% of the time. You're good up until the board pairs, then you have to just check/call.

(Looked at the results.)

Ugh, again. He overplayed his hand on the flop, but beyond that I don't hate it.

All CO did was call. MP3 capped the flop.

*grunch*
looks good to me; on the river trip T's are more likely than a boat for your aggressive opponents so I think the way you played it is ok... now to read the results [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

True...I misread the action...that said, however, I stand by my statement, CO overplayed his hand on the flop.

(Edit: do you see why? Hint: it's the same reason Hero should have just called the raise on the river.)

Grunch

Without reads, fold PF. 89 suited is best for one bet PF. Unless a large portion of pots are not raised PF, I would avoid playing this early.

Flop and turn look good. I check/call river

I guess those other two guys don't see straights. Either that or they don't believe any one would limp UTG with 98 (suited or otherwise). I guess hero doesn't see boats. Either that or he doesn't believe that anyone would cold call with JT (suited or otherwise) in late position.

The 3-bet is a bit much on the river but otherwise nice hand. Posting results sucks and leads to wise-azz posts. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
