I didnt have many reads on villain, but he seemed to be doing alright at the table. I must say I did see him play a few draws, and none were played out like this. He was a little passive on his draws

The hand that dreams are made of

I call PF hoping to flop big, if not I'm done. And flop an OESD. My initial though was to check/call if he bet, but I figured i'd be better off getting some info on his hand, so I decided to bet out.

Once he raised, honestly the only thought that came to mind was to push my draw.

In hindsight, I think it would of been better to check/call or even bet/call to see the turn. Then once the 4c comes I think I had 2 choices. One being bet big, and call whatever he does afterwords. Or check, and rr big any bet he makes to try and represent a flush, since as I mentioned I saw him play a draw or two and it just didnt play out the same. So I figured I could represent a monster here.

I guess the flop push was spew-ish, but I dont totally disagree with it myself, its a situational play I think.

Besides folding, what play would you make? As in, what do you think the best line would be to get him off his overpair?

:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf: First off, fold PF. Second, why are you going all-in with an OESD with 8 outs when you said yourself he is an alright player (which to me means not a moron donkey going all in with AK high), 2 of which might be no good?

Seriously, as played, after your flop donk bet, just call and hope to hit a turn. This is one of the most hilarious reasonings I've read for bad play.

1-2NL Live (8 handed)

Stack Avg is ~200 BB

I have JJ on the button and reraise it from the $4 straddle ->20; two callers
flop: 4, 7, 9 rainbow.
CO bets $35, I flat call (which was probably loving dumb) my reasoning being that I had made a lot of cbets on bare flops and been able to turn or river one of my overs and had to show this down a couple times tonight; so I am thinking that I can get paid since it looks like my AK/AQ missed completely. other guy folds
I have 400BB and villain has 250BB
turn: 4
he bets $50, I call
river: 2
he bets $125......me?

basically, I feel like I butchered this hand; should have probably reraised on the flop, at the same time I am feeling like I might be up against a set. Should I be pushing harder or folding somewhere along here?

**no real reads on the guy, got his hand caught a couple times trying to overplay hands/semi bluffing but overall pretty decent.

live? super-fast call.

Is there any way to get off of top boat? This is a sick sick beat that a friend of mine experienced the other night at a casino here.


come on what is this post? second nuts and you're looking for a fold somewhere? tell your friend to move down if he thinks there is a fold anywhere in this hand.

Doesn't raising fold out almost any hand we beat? Villan seems fairly solid. I can see an argument for raising if it will help us save money on later streets, but when someone bets into the raiser like this it is usually either a very strong hand or a marginal one.

Also, is there a good hand converter for these forums? The link at the top of the thread is broken.

ok then since you have a read, fold???

I'd bet a little bit more on every street, but I think it's OK.

I like c/c the river or a 2/3 psb for value. I expect you'd see a dinky Queen here or a missed FD a majority of the time.

Oops, you are in position, BET!

OOP, as mentioned, sometimes a c/c if you think he was on FD and might bluff at the pot.

Local tournament, 5 at the table probably about to be moved, blinds are 500/1000.

Button: 4-5k
SB:15-16k
BB(me):15k
UTG: 1.5k
UTG+1: 18-19k

UTG raises all in pre-flop. Calls around to me in BB with pocket aces. I reraise to 5.5k. Everyone calls but the button.

Flop is 6:s:6:h:5:c:

SB checks, I push for my remaining 9.5k. Everyone calls.

UTG has A3, UTG+1 has 6:d:7:d:, SB never shows.

Turn is a 3:d:, River is a 6:c:.

I'm thinking I didn't raise enough pre-flop making it enticing to call. Is there anything else I could have done better in this hand?

uhh, if it's 5-handed, one guy goes all in and 3 callers, just push it in PF, you don't need to entice them in, you don't want to see a flop multiway and if one of them likes their hand enough, they'll join you for the all-in ride. even if they all fold to your allin, the pot is approx 1/3 of your stack and would be a nice boost if you won.

that said, you got unlucky. i don't understand utg+1 calling off a 1/4 of his stack with 6 7 high. nh.
