Postby AlexMR » Tue Aug 23, 2005 9:07 pm

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed)

saw flop|saw showdown

MP2 ($50.50)
MP3 ($82.25)
CO ($33.65)
Button ($31.05)
Hero ($45.25)
BB ($15.05)
UTG ($76.15)
UTG+1 ($44.45)
MP1 ($48.25)

Preflop: Hero is SB with [9h], [8h]. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $1, 5 folds, Hero (poster) calls $0.75, BB calls $0.50.

Flop: ($3) [7d], [Th], [3h] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets $0.9, Hero raises to $1.8, BB calls $1.80, UTG+1 raises to $6, Hero calls $42.45 (All-In), BB calls $12.25 (All-In), UTG+1 calls $37.45 (All-In).

Turn: ($104.75) [Td] (3 players, 3 all-in)

River: ($104.75) [Js] (3 players, 3 all-in)

Final Pot: $104.75

The PF raiser is very aggressive PF, raising more than 12% of hands. He flop a str8 and slowplay it allowing me to river two pair. At that point he decided to bet and I call. His Post flop play is kinda weak.

Werent they supposed to fold that?? :D

Comments, please.

I think the all in makes your hand a little too obvious. I think a re-raise to $18 or something is a bit stronger of a play, your fold equity is prolly very similar, if not higher, and since you're betting less that means more EV.

The fact that the BB is unlikely to fold his hand (short stack) makes me not like this play. Even if the big stack folds...you don't really gain anything because the short stack will have at least a pair..

I also think your intial flop raise was awfully weak. Raise it up to $3 or $4 so the guys have to at least think a little befofre calling
