OMG I played this one bad. 25NL

[ronaldann]

Villain seems to be a fairly tight, solid player (textbook multitabler). Did I do anything right? I don't like folding SC:s preflop, even OOP.

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to $1.25</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero (poster) calls $1.15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG folds, MP1 calls $1.

Flop: ($4.25) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to $4</font>, Hero calls $2.

hmm...After my donkbet got raised, I still called w my gutshot....major spewage. 2 more into a $10 pot. The only good thing is that I'm pretty sure he has an overpair now.

Turn: ($12.25) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, MP3 calls $5.

Ok this is a semibluff, pure and simple. I'm sure I have at least 13 clean outs, does that make it OK to bet $5 into a $12 pot, considering implied odds? But what does the cold-call mean?

River: ($22.25) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: $69.02

Rip this one apart, please [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

if you're going to bet the flop, pot it. The turn screams weakness but that's ok because I doubt you'll be raised by marginal hand at 25NL.

don't play SC from the SB - fold preflop.

overpair? - thats one possibility - he may also have A6/A5 55 22 or 66 A2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Unless I am very much mistaken a coldcall is when a villain calls a pf bet without any money of his own invested in the pot already. Villain flat called you here. For implied odds to work out villain must put another $15 in the middle AND get beaten by your mini flush when it arrives.
Even donks can see 3 hearts on board and are usually scared by this - so IF your flush is good on the river you won't be getting enough money to make this a good call.

As played you have to push this river. Then feel ill when villain flips A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] to scoop the pot.

I'm sure someone else who knows better will be along soon to do some more ripping [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd fold preflop, playing draws OOP sucks.

I'd like the flop lead more if you had flush+gutshot not just gutshot (in which case you could go bet/3bet allin), and the flop lead is not nearly enough needs to be close to PSB here.

The turn bet is again on the smaller side and is vulnerable to being raised. Semi-bluffs should include the opportunity to fold better hands, which this lead has little chance to do. I'd 2/3 pot it.

You did get the runner-runner flush part right. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

howabout don't play SC from the small blind unless you are confident that you can outplay the opposition postflop.

Other factors include price to play them, primary villian's postflop aggro and stack size (since implied odds are important here), and number of players.
