Hi all,
I've been playing limit and SNGs for some time and recently
jumped into NL ring games. I've been having trouble with hands like these where I flop top pair with a good kicker. I'm never sure how far to take them.
Villain was 41/4/0.73
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx (http://www.zerodivide.cx/converter)
UTG+1 ($47.27)
MP1 ($6.65)
MP2 ($36.80)
MP3 ($22.45)
CO ($24.65)
Button ($18.49)
SB ($2.75)
BB ($25.50)
Hero ($23.40)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. MP3 posts a blind of $0.35. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
Hero calls $0.25, UTG+1 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls $0.25, MP3 (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $0.25, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.
Flop: ($1.85) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, UTG+1 calls $2, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $2, Button folds, SB calls $2, BB folds.
Turn: ($9.85) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $7</font>, UTG+1 calls $7, MP3 folds.
River: ($23.85) 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero bets $7, UTG+! raises to $15
Final Pot: $23.85
So by his actions I was pretty sure he was on a flush draw, so when a non-flush card came on the river, I decided to bet the river.
I'm not sure about any of my actions during this hand. Was it an easy fold on the river? Should I have checked the river?
Thanks in advance for your help.
