I think I woulda chickened out and check behind on the river.

I like everything but the river. With that many opponents, I have to believe I'm probably behind something (any 8, higher PP - which seems likely, 54, T9, 2-pair, etc.). I just can't see none of your opponents having something that beats you, so I take the free opportunity to show down here, personally.

Yeah I thought I had some FE w/ these donks. Oh well.

Fold equity? You mean you think you'll fold a better hand? No way.

Dave D · #6 06-18-2005, 09:33 PM

Umm, yes. At least I thought I might as well throw $4 more at it and hope for some folds. I thought I had a chance of that happening.

These type of players will fold a better hand close to 0% of the time.

I concur. And you're going to get raised by a better hand. Which sucks.

I dont understand the preflop play, is this just me ? With 99 in a multiw pot you pretty much need to hit 9 or get a low fl. Are you trying to get UTG + 1 out and take down the pot on the flop ? Id rather call and hope for multiway.

No. 99 has a pretty big edge against random players. Here, however, you want the button hardcore. You want to isolate the weak 2/4 player with a worse hand than 99. It's a value raise, a position raise, and an isolation raise all in one. Which rocks.
