bad read

Oh dear.

Online NLHE game. Small raise preflop, four players in, flop was checked round. On the turn, the board is something like A-9-6-2, all spades. I have the queen of spades on the button.

Check, check, player bets half the pot into me. Hmmm. I decide to flat call and see what the other two do. They both call.

River is a blank. Check, check, bettor bets the pot.

Now, surely he has the nut flush, right? He got three callers on the turn. He can't be betting the J or worse for value, and it doesn't look like a bluff can succeed. Right? RIGHT?

So I fold. The other two call. The bettor has the J flush and wins.

Bad read. Play something else.

where was this game? i want to find two opponents who will call the pot with the ten or nine of spades (or worse!).

what did they muck, by the way?

It was on Party of course.

I have no idea what they mucked: I don't routinely get hand histories, and in any case they don't seem to be able to send me histories at all at the moment.

It was a good read, even on Party -- most of the time, you would be right. But definitely put the two callers on your buddies list. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you aren't getting hand histories, check what they have for your email address.
