That was very stupid play from me.... But when I flatcalled flop i did it bcoz my opponent was tight and I suspected that he might have str8... in that case I am calling him down all way till river, my turn push was sooo dumb that I hated myself for that, but if BB had str8 anyway I want Button's money in midle too with any hand (except 99) so after re-thinking hand I didnt hate myself sooooo much bcoz I would have lost 62$ to BB anyway... after all this do y think I played it vveerryy bad or just bad?

[Al_Money]

To start off, I'm raising this preflop 4 handed all day. When you raise PF, at least you can narrow down his range a little more. Now, you are looking at any 2 cards and that goes from being a great board to an ehhh could be scary board.

As played, 3 bet the flop. I don't understand the turn, why are we pushing here with so much left behind, and with 2 people left in the hand??

[capone0]

Turn is horrible. Why would you push allin there.

[faded]

had you raised the flop, i could maybe justify a push on the turn... as is, awful.

[nevereverwin]

That was horible play from me. I dont know why I pushed. That was stupid. I hate myself for that.

[ajmargarine]

Easy raise PF 4-handed. (six handed too). Raise flop.

[BukNaked36]

You wait so long to hit your wonderful sets and then the hand collapses in front of you. Looks like you panicked on the turn.

I could still see losing your stack here even if played well - Raise flop, get reraised by BB, and push over the top.

BB flopped the set, you were going to lose a lot of chips no matter how you played it postflop. A preflop raise might have got 65s to fold, although some people will play 65s like a small pocket.

[mudbuddha]

when you say you thought ur opp was tight..
tight preflop/postflop?

please raise preflop next time:) w/o raising you opponent can have any 2. (i hate lettting see BB see for free)

[gd_river]

Normally you should lose your stack, but playing it this way should not cause you to lose your stack

The main reason to raise this PF 4 handed is equity. IOW you are going to win w/ this hand more often than 25% of the time, which would be your fair share if wins and losses were divided evenly among all players.

You do just fine vs. 2 random cards... that's the point, your cards are better than random.


OTOH, you are of course happy if you get Axo to fold w/ your pfr and an Ace shows on the flop.

vveerryy bad.

Seriously, you had three decisions in this hand and all of them were terrible. raise preflop. raise flop. do not push turn. ugh.

[PayoffWiz]

OMG. Awful.

[thirteen]

This is terrible.

Raise PF, Raise Flop.
