Title: Another QT ... just wondering how you'd play this...
Post by: MC on September 19, 2008, 01:55:13 AM
Not mega complicated hand just curious what peoples lines are on the turn especially...

1) How do you play the flop? Bear in mind that "limeSM" timed out to check the flop, but returned after lancy222 bet.
2) Check, bet or shove? the turn?

(Some ppl are probably going to told me I should have folded pre seeing as starting stack only 1500 :))

I really dislike how you got here. You should fold OR shove preflop (shoving if you think the original raiser is raising frequently and you have seen him fold to a 3 - bet before).

As it is, there is 1275 in the middle and you are playing 1075 in a multiway pot. The board is now very draw heavy and if you shove now they will usually find it difficult to fold either a pair or a draw at these levels. So I would just do that as you increase the likelihood of them making a mistake.

Yeah fair play, no need to play funky in this hand.

No need to shove here PF, I'd be folding most of the time...one of those quick decisions cos raise was small and knew for this player that wasn't a monster.

I bet the turn and they both folded btw.

I probably check raise the small flop bet in a multi-way pot like this, or everyone is seeing the turn way too cheap.

I fold this pre every time and deffo check raise the flop.

As played i would just shove it in as the board is quite drawy.

Yes if i was given this hand 100 times and there had been a raise from ep in an stt, i would fold 100 times.

Playing oop against someone who's range has your hand crushed this shallow, is not a good idea imo.

Can't argue with that. I wish the numpty on the button last night thought the same...

preflops really bad, id probs crai on the flop as tons of worse hands are gonna call off.  dont mind calling and going for some sort of cr situation on the turn though as there arent a ton of really bad turn cards either.  but preflops terrible

Pre-flop is spew. You have 15bbs and imo your stack is more useful open-shoving then cold-calling bets and trying to hit the flop hard. If the raise came from the hijack or later I'm snap 3bet shoving on the avr. opponent. Here the raise came from UTG+1 so his calling ur 3bet shove range has you crushed.

Flop is meh. You need to c/r AI on this board. A lot of 1 pair/gutterballs hit this flop so you could want to get it in now.

On the turn, the jack is a horrible card. AK just got there, and you could argue that you could c/c down now, but i prefer shoving. Don't want a K or 9 to check back and spike and your'll still get value out of AQ/KQ hands which are likely
