Notes on play

[jpg7n16]

Just wanting some feedback on how I played this:

Live 1/2 NL Table is fairly passive PF, but bets/calls several draws (flush, straight, or even overcard)

Showdown:
(BB)Hero ~ 42
(UTG+1) ~ 75ish

PF - 4 callers (UTG+1, MP, LP, SB), BB checks Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Pot: ($10)

Flop: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks, Hero bets $5, UTG+1 calls, MP folds, LP calls, SB folds

Pot: ($25)

Turn: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero bets $15, UTG+1 pushes, LP folds, Hero calls

River: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

I feel as though this is pretty table specific. 1/2 games like this are usually ultra loose live. Do you think any of them will fold to your half pot flop bet? With your stack and that hand I think you have to feel you have a pretty damn strong amount of fold equity to make this bet. In most games like this I can't picture it, but only you know that.

As for the villians raise on the turn I don't know, QT seems pretty possible, even J9 or KQ considering the description of the game. Would he raise AQ preflop? On the turn I feel you pretty much have to call given the pot size and what you have left.

Once again I don't know the game, but I really don't like the flop bet. I'm a big fan of firing at raggedy flops from the blinds, and at least there wasn't a flush draw out, but a half pot bet like that asks the drawers to try and hit it. I opt to fold or bet much bigger, most likely fold it barring the table presence that everyone looks really disinterested or whatever.

Basically, with your stack, I don't feel like you can play around, just go maniac TAG on em.

JMO, hope it worked out.

The turn action tells me he has a set or top 2-pair. I fold here.

J9 is just as likely, if not moreso.

Fold flop. If you call the flop, hit your 5 outer, and still dont know what to do, the choice is obvious.

Im not making a stab on that flop a 10 is highly possible and there are too many draws.

Time for you to review what a stealable flop looks like.

Here is a hint, this isnt it.

play with a full buy in. If you can't, play at a limit you can.

check fold this flop. If it checks around and you still see the turn card, a 2/3rd pot bet is about right, which would be like 7 bucks into 10. If you get raised hard in that spot, it becomes a bit read dependent, as you beat AQ and KQ, but lose to QT, J9, or a slow played set. It would matter a lot what the action is at that point, but it is much easier to play if you don't bet the flop and keep the pot small.

Sucks if he has QT but I'd probably do the same.

If thats your entire range on possible hands he doesnt want to see here....well just lurk for awhile and learn more.

had J9 right? I like the play myself though
