I was told this would make a good playalong
 

Down to 4 handed and the table is really aggro, but still profitable. UTG is a loose passive unknown. No real reads on his post-flop tendecies.

SB to my left is a 25/17/1.5, one of the better players that has been at the table all session. I've enjoyed having him on my left as I was able to make CO steals and isolation raises a little light earlier in the session. Now that it's 4 handed I'm wary of his ability to start playing back at me.

BB is the loosest at the table at 60/17/1.5. I've seen him make loose peels on the Flop and Turn to get him to a showdownable hand, but not make loose showdowns, If that makes any sense.

Re: I was told this would make a good playalong
 

bet/pray you don't get raised by SB. if you do get raised by SB, i'd likely go to showdown if it's heads up hoping to be against 55/66/88/spades. if he calls and BB check raises you're gonna get owned.

Re: I was told this would make a good playalong
 

From any angle, I don't see how you can possibly check here.
Make it $1 to go and let's see what ensues.
Miles nailed the line pretty good, I think.

Re: I was told this would make a good playalong
 

Yep. Bet, nothing else tells us anything. We might be good, we might be way behind, but even then we still have some backdoor outs.

Re: I was told this would make a good playalong
 

I bet.

I was right in line with Miles' line regarding a SB CR. If the BB check-raised here 3-way I was probably seeing a Turn and folding without a set.

Re: I was told this would make a good playalong
 

I got to the party late.

I was going to say dont bet the flop, because I expected that your opponents would call with overcards. So, I would have preferred to take a free card and wait to see if a small card fell on the turn.

I would fold on the turn.

Hope I dont get crucified for this. lol.

Re: I was told this would make a good playalong
 

I don't see a lot of reason to stick around either, other than this is a play along. The only thing that makes me happy is that I have the black 8's so I'm probably still drawing live.
