I don't call that preflop raise. I also don't know about the flop call- BB bet into a big field and a preflop raiser. he didn't try to checkraise the button, which means that he most likely wants as much money in the pot as possible- haveing the button raise behind you would be bad.

I think everything is fine short of the preflop call. flop call is pretty marginal, even at 12-1, but I make it too

Yea I'd usually fold preflop too, but I think I was so happy with being dealt the worst possible hand that I just had to give it a go when it wasn't too much of a mistake.

The more i think about it the less i like the flop call.

Tainted outs and redraws all around. I think you made two bad moves in this hand.

He shouldn't have posted.

That mistake led to all the rest.

tolbiny · #7 04-30-2005, 07:55 PM

posting is fine.

His posting has nothing to do with the flop decision which is an easy fold.

Why is it okay to pay $5 to see 2-3 hands with none on the button when you can pay $7 to see 5-6 hands including one on the button?

no it's not an "easy" fold. against people who will pay you off and overplay their hands, his implied odds are nice, and aside from the clubs, his outs aren't likely to be tainted
