This one is a real dick sandwich.

Loose 2-4 online game.

Four limpers to me in the cutoff. I limp also with 86[img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img]. The SB folds and the BB checks.

Flop is A-9-5, all [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img]. Gotta protect this flush!

EP bets, MP raises, I 3-bet. The EP coldcalls and the MP caps it. Three to the turn.

Turn is an offsuit 8.

EP checks, MP bets, I raise. EP coldcalls and MP calls. Hmmm.

River is an offsuit Queen.
Checked to me and I bet. Both call.


What did they have? What do you think of my play? Thanks much.

My guess, by your title, is that one of them had the 10hi..probably the MP.

The EP probably had A's up hoping to fill, probably something like A5 diamonds or something.

As for how you played, I dunno how you would have played it any different. I may have just called MP's turn bet and then called him down on the riverbecause I don't have that great of a flush and he did just cap the betting and came out. He probably had something like J10 spades or something like that....

hi ty
EP could have top 2 pair or AJ; MP looks like 2 pair or set; played perfectly.

Dick Sandwich?

I'll take a shot in the dark here....you said it was a loose game so who knows with this many limpers.

EP.... had the King of spades and was cold calling hoping to catch on the turn or river. He missed but did have a pair and had paid to much to drop on the river.

MP... had the spades a but wasn't proud I'm assuming with 10 high here not alot of people would be with you raising behind them.

MP took down the pot. You deciding better not to go on tilt took a break and went and hit on the cute new bartender and had a shot. Other then saying it was a loose table I don't know enough to speak with any authority but you three bet the flop to see where everyone was and I think you found out. I might of slowed down here unless you thougt MP was just a maniac.

This is Party 2/4. They could have had a bunch of different hands.

You played it perfectly by betting and raising at every opportunity.

Congratulations, sir 'Carpal Tunnel'

I would have waited till the turn to charge my opponents the max to draw. The flaw in your thinking is that you can't protect this flush because on the flop any draw is coming anyway in this game. Wait until the turn and then raise to minimize their effective odds.

Thanks Bob. Ironically, I think I am developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from excessive computer use. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

So am I... it scares the hell out of me. I've got bills to pay. [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Any suggestions? I already learned to be ambidextrous, but now both my wrists hurt rather than just one!
