Title: Triplets
Post by: celtic on November 30, 2011, 03:57:10 PM
In the BB with  4s 6s

Straddled, then called in 4 spots, I make it up, the BB makes it £5 more, everyone calls.

Flop comes  4h 8d 4c SB checks.

How best to proceed?

We have about £540 and cover all by £250 except the BB who is playing £800.

Players involved, other than the BB are not very good and both down about £300, playing 80% of pots. Other person in the pot is an unknown.

agree. bet/call anyone. if vs bb, donk turn also, but check vs anyone else who raises flop.

if no raise on flop, donk turn smallish again.

Ok, I bet £16, BB fold, utg limper makes it 35, sb calls. I call. That ok?

Turn is an Ace, and the SB checks. I?

If we bet now we're really struggling to get value on the turn and river.

Take a chance and let someone else bet, just flat it then lead turn for half pot (assuming field has thinned a bit) then jam river and get hero'd.

If it checks round obviously bet the turn. It's much easier to gets 2 streets out of this than 3 so worth the risk of checking imo.

Thought you were the BB?

Was it the straddler who folded?

Apolgies Big Matt, I was the BB, and it was the straddler that folded.

Presume you are SB, not BB?

The answers the same anyway. Fold, we don't wanna be playing that filth, it never wins.

Sigh, yes I have it wrong somewhere, but I'm def the BB, the straddler makes it £5 more etc etc. Well spotted.

Get back to your diary now please, there are some pressing questions to be answered...

betting is fine to build a pot.  people don't folds 8s anyway so just get money in there.

like donking anything like 20 flop is ok. 

then if called I'd continue betting.  if the caller was a young/hoody type I might check turn but against 90pc of live players its just a bet bet bet

think we have to bet/call turn and shove river.

does the straddler always straddle, how hard does he play his straddle? is he aggro post? Is that his normal raise size, [ ] bcos it's expert unless we're in position in omaha ffs.

tbf we should probably open jam pre and show our hand so everyone calls, then when we flop trups we can be all  8)

I think I lead here somewhere close to half the time depending on the table.

As played you have to bet the turn and its impossible to fold at any point. (There should not be any 4's he can check here with regularity and if he has a house, well - good for him, if he bet he woulda got paid anyway.)

Bet turn bet river imo

 there is like £25 or something in the pot and we have trips, we really want this pot to be significantly bigger and in order to do that we must place chips in the pot and encourage others to match us

I had a horrible feeling about this hand, I c/c the turn, and check paid him off for £138 when he shoved on the river, he had A4 :( Don't think folding would be good tho against this opponent.
