Default Flopped two pair.

Pretty standard, but weak? Raise turn and call down to a reraise? Very first hand at the table, no reads at all.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $3.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero (poster) checks, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, SB folds, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (8 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (10 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 12 BB

Hmm, tough one.

UTG+1 play looks like a draw to me. He probablt hit it on the turn or river.

I'm going to have to think on this a little more.

I raise this turn everytime.

Wait, unless the villain is a passive little bitch.

with what hands does utg limp , call SB's flop bet then 3 bet your raise ? seems like either
A) he's a bit of an idiot and your hand is good or
B) he started slowplaying a strong hand eg 55 , 66 and wakes up after your raise
78 doesnt really come to mind which is the only draw that gets there on the turn.
All in all I'm a bit wary of raising the turn unless I'm sure of A) above I think a call down is in order

1. If he has a pair of jacks on the flop he'll raise the first time the action comes to him.

2. He won't read you for a draw.

3. He won't read you for a bluff.

4. He can't expect to bluff successfully.

Consequently, he probably has at least two pair, which means you are an underdog at this point. I think you played it well.

no. utg+1's play looks a lot more like a set then a draw, but of course we cna't be sure of either, but calling down is the only correct play

Looks good.

Call then re-raise looks like an attempt to slowplay a strong hand then jam when other people get into it.

I starded keeping track of W/L when flopping 2 pair- I'm now 30.5-6.5. With that said - I would raise him on the turn and PRAY I get my boat.

1st hand LOL - I really hate hitting the ground running but sometimes the other players THINK you are a bully and REALLY do not want you to win.

Yeah, and I don't see many draws coming in on the turn. I think this play is standard.
