Drawing to a weakish flush in a multi-way pot
 

Did I play this junk right, or should I be folding at some point on turn? UTG is a regular, but he's 34/14 or some such thing, and hand reads pretty well post-flop. SB is a pretty tight player. Both seem reasonable. Do you call in a spot like this, both before and after the turn raise?

I'm tempted to fold the flop here because we aren't closing the action. This is a draw heavy board that would hit a lot of limping ranges. Also, a good player betting into the field signifies strength. Your outs aren't all clean either. I would fold to the turn raise as well if I got there.

I don't know about the call of the tight SB:s raise with ATo
Not my favourite hand to play in a 4-way pot with at least 2 decent opponents.

Flop call ok I guess.

I would fold to the sb donk on the turn. What possible hands do you beat? How many clean outs do you have if you're behind. Can you be sure you'll be able to see the river for one bet (obviously not)

After the turn raise I'm def. done with this hand

SB didn't donk, but point taken.

If SB is tight..how does a10o fair against his range overall? I wouldnt think all that great.

Okay, what about heads up, in a situation like this against an unknown? Do you chuck it and say, "not good enough odds!", or do you get past the turn here?

I would always call ATo here.

Preflop is a fold IMO against a tight UTG raise...Raising would be second best, cold calling is not option.

Flop call is OK. Turn is an easy fold.

EDIT: I just reread UTG's stats. However, cold calling is still bad. 3bet or fold is usually best preflop.

I didn't cold call - I was in the BB.

I think you can fold this turn. You are tarped.

2nd hand is weirdddd. Some people will value bet a 2 on that river, for serious. Others have just hit the king. You see what I mean right?

I'll usually call the 1st time expecting to win like 1/10 but it's fine because i'm going to be in this spot, HU on the river, with a weak showdown hand, vs. a guy who has been cold calling/calling me for a while, and i want to make more informed decisions later on. Just make sure to slowdown, make a note, and walk yourself through that hand again before 3-betting the AQ you have on the other table or it's basically .9 BBs out the window.

Wait, what window?
