****HAND ENDS****


i'm kinda second guessing myself with hands like these... draws with very few players but a pre flop raise so you have the odds to call... thoughts?.. the pot on the flop was 9 dollars and on the turn after the raise i was putting 4 dollars into a 16 dollar pot.. i hessitated putting the raise into it.. but i already put so much money in already and had a straight draw plus a 4 diamond to king high flush draw..

this is from 1000 hands i played at the crypto sites KQo was my biggest loser in those

[bottomset]

in those 1000hands you have KQ what 10times? 12?

you shouldn't complain OESD w/overcards is a very solid draw that you will see the river with the majority of the time

[elbuddha]

I think you should have raised the flop.

You have a great hand with your OESD, two overcards, and a backdoor flush draw. Unless you have a read that SB would pump a flush draw or straight draw, he's betting a J or T which your overcards are good against should you spike one. What you don't want is UTG catching a redraw on you. You have enough equity to raise two callers for value, but will have protected your hand and gained position if UTG folds when faced with two bets.

a pre flop raise so you have the odds to call

You raise preflop because you've likely got the best hand, not so that you have odds to call on future streets. A raise is never solely to make your later calls correct.

you played this hand fine, you have 6 outs to the str8 ( 3 non diamond As and 9s), and 9 outs to the flush, plus overcards that might be good. on the flop your hand is worth approximately 10-11 outs, i'd raise here. on the turn your hand is worth approximately 15-16 outs. i raise here as well. you actually have more outs than that but i subtracted 2-3 for the times your drawing dead to the AX [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. you have a strong draw and an equity edge, push it.
