4 handed, connected board... I'm betting this flop ($2) for sure.
You would hate to have it checked around, since there are so many turn cards that could ruin your hand.

The 7 sucks, because there are 4 to the straight on board.
As played, the pot is so big already that I don't like betting again. I think check/calling is best, although a case could probably even be made for check/folding here.

Once I get to the river, I'm definitely not betting again. Check/call a smallish bet, and fold to anything bigger.

[blah-blah-blah]

i lead the flop since it was limped. i check the turn and if he bets i might call depending on the size but probably c/f river unimproved. i think c/r on the flop inflates the pot size too much.

[BrunoThePug]

Is the villain's $14 river bet:

A) Smallish, so please call me.
B) Smallish, I am bluffing.
C) I have a Q and think you are bluffing so I'll try to bet my pair.
D) You must have missed your flush so I'm going to make a small bet with my marginal hand.

Going for a checkraise in a limped pot is usually really bad since it is so far from a given that anyone will bet. With the board like this tons of cards can either kill your action or make you a second best hand so you really need to make sure you charge those hands to suckout.

[FatSheep]

Fold preflop. 65o sucks.

[blackize]

Preflop is fine getting like 7:1

[Pobedonstev]

i would've check raised the turn

[nukewell]

i would lead the flop and bet out the turn, check call the river and be vary of any asgression shown by villian

i would also probably fold this pf so as not to be in this situation

[C4LL4W4Y]

i fold preflop or call, all dependent on the likelihood i'll get paid off in a limped pot at this table. just lead flop.

[JackAll]

pf is a spew, plain and simple.

lead flop

turn is tougher. pot $24 and $30 behind. I might bet $15-16 and fold to a raise like you cuz the flush draw is there.

river - yea i don't think i can let go with $14 to win $80. Odds are just too good dammit.

[justhetip]

Preflop is fine in my opinion.

I agree it is really tough to fold the hand on the river, although I cannot see him betting many hands which you beat. Tough turn.. I like your play though.

Your bet sizing on flop and turn means he pretty much always has to have a hand here because he is not getting right odds either implied or pot to draw to the flush.

[Coiote]

Thanks for the opinions, i realized i didn't play this hand that well and was interested in knowing how other people would have played it.

Here's the result:

UTG had 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3/images/graemlins/club.gif (three of a kind, Threes) and WON (+$40.00)
Hero had 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif (two pair, Sixes and Fives) and LOST (-$40.00)

Quit saying stuff like this as if it is fact.

PF is NOT spew. At worst it is going to be about neutral EV. If you only play it for 2 pair or better on the flop you only need to get someone to call 1 PSB for you to have made a profitable call preflop.

pot flop, can't tell u much else once u f it up, u f it up beyond fixing

JackAll,
You've been posting in SSNL for a while, and most of the post you make I completely agree with. This statement makes absolutly no sense, will you explain your reasoning?

[Grunch]

Preflop is fine so long as you know the relative value of your hand postflop and your positional disadvantage doesn't bend you over.

I def lead the flop. Check-raising has created a huge pot with you out of position, ick. As played I'm trying to get all-in as fast as possible before more bad cards fall lol.

[Sniiii]

Bad check on flop. You should bet pot and call a raise. At turn, I'd check-call in most cases.
