52s in SB - Ugly
I think I botched this hand pretty badly. Maybe my vacation made me a little passive.
Hero has 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the SB at a typical lp table. 5 callers, Hero completes, BB checks. 7 to the flop (7sb) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Checked to MP who Bets, 2 callers, Hero peels, UTG calls. 5 to the turn (6bb) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Checked to MP who bets, 1 caller, Hero chickens out and calls, UTG calls. 4 to river (10bb) blank - Checked around I think somewhere in my brain I was thinking that bottom 2 pair on a draw heavy board is very likely to get drawn out on, so I didn't want to invest 2 bets on the turn, but that is weak thinking. I think that as played not donking the river is terrible. Thoughts? |

You can't peel this flop properly if you're not going to make more than this when you spike on the turn.

Don't forget, however, to count the times that he hits and is still behind to a flopped set/two pair; the times he hits and his "out" gives someone a better hand; and the times he hits and gets chased down on the river. -McGee |

Re: 52s in SB - Ugly
Well, raise the turn. But you already know that. And yeah as played absolutely bet the river. What was the question again?

Re: 52s in SB - Ugly
C/R the turn. Fire the river. I don't mind the flop peel, FWIW.
Firing the turn is ok too, if the original bettor can't be expected to bet again. |

Re: 52s in SB - Ugly
Please raise the turn and bet the river. This is the second- or third-best result you could have hoped for PF. But then you knew that..

No real question, just a reality check. Thanks.
