NL50: flopped broadway in an unraised, did I miss some value here?

[Roma Norgy]

Critique welcome on all streets. Did I bet enough on flop/turn/river? Should I have slowplayed a little more? Bet out the flop to begin with?

Thanks in advance.

I love leading out from the blinds with these kinds of hands. C/Ring sort of gives your opponent a chance to slow down.

I also like betting more on every street. I'm definitely ~potting the turn for value and protection and probably going for about 2/3 pot on the river in case some donk has wandered into a set, two pair, etc. You have the nuts. You need to try to play a bigger pot here.

And just a big fat "wow" for how bad UTG played this.

Motor makes good points. I hope you put a note on UTG. Send him to my tables!

[bottomset]

this is one of the worst possible flops to slowplay, like half the deck can either kill your action, or put you behind

lol UTG plays horrible

[Roma Norgy]

Haha, thanks for the feedback. I'm amazed at just how many n00b plays I let go unquestioned prior to joining 2+2.

bet flop, what the [censored] is up with your river bets in every hand? at least $20, probably $24-$28 on the river

You realize you would have stacked the guy had you bet 3/4 a pot each street, right?

Yes, and that's an easy assessment to make after the fact. But I'm still trying to integrate intelligent, "2+2" thought into my playing DURING hands.

Here was my line of thought during this hand.

Flop: "Woot, nuts, slowplay!"

After min-bet and calls: "I probably should have just bet this out, oh well, now I have to raise."

Turn: "I need to protect against the flush draw but want callers. $6 sounds OK to me."

River: "Flush draw missed, just bet something that's likely to get called."

As you can see, I have A LOT of room for improvement. But I'm playing 10k+ hands a week, paying for coaching, and basking myself in the knowledge and sporadic condescension of the fine folks in this forum. So, I won't be noob forever.

Anyway, thanks for the comments.

Hypothetical question - assume we are UTG and whiff a limp-reraise (assume table conditions warranted going for it). Against unknowns are we able to get away from this board ever?

[kurto]

Let's just say I would probably have lost more then the guy who had aces in this hand.
