Weak TP?
I'm new at the table and have no reads. So assume normal 1/2 level play.
1/2 Limit Holdem 7 players Converted at weaktight.com Pre-flop: Hero dealt 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in BB UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises</font>, <font color="#777777">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP calls A loose call from the BB, but I'm expecting it to be at least an 8 SB pot. Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (10.5 SB, 5 players) <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP calls I've got top pair so lead off. CO raise is a problem. Don't like the reraise in this spot so call. Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (10.2 BB, 5 players) Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, CO calls, Hero ? Hmmmm. CO flop raise says move to c/c unimproved, but why has UTG come alive? So, what's the right Turn play? |

Re: Weak TP?
CO probably has overcards, his flop raise may even suggest an overpair. The turn card completes a few draws.
UTG waking up may suggest he has A3s and completed his wheel (perhaps even with the nut flush draw). Even if the wheel is not out there, you have 3 outs at the very best (7c, Tc, Td) and you're getting 14:1. I don't like it. Even if we hit, we could still be far behind. Fold the turn... |

Re: Weak TP?
Brit,
Check/raise the flop. As played I fold the turn. If I was closing the action it would be close. |

Re: Weak TP?
I strongly prefer check/raising this flop instead of leading off.

Re: Weak TP?
I join the chorus for flop c/r because the most likely flop bettor i.e. CO is to your immediate right
-> if he bets you face the rest of the cast with calling two bets. They may still call but as the board isn't overly drawy you gain value here. Main reason to c/r is to protect your vulnerable hand that looks like the best hand right now. C/r protects you hand best here. -> if he does not bet you get a free look at the turn if it is a "safe card" or not and can then donk giving the field ~6:1 odds which might be enough for OCs to fold. Not the best result but ok anyway. |

Re: Weak TP?
For the flop C/Rs, don't you think the risk is that I'm giving 4 lots of over O/Cs a free draw?
If I'm c/o on a 5 way pot with AJ or somesuch, I'm going to be strongly tempted to take the free card because the fold equity is so low. Still, it's definitely something I should consider... |

Re: Weak TP?
I don't think I'd donk this flop. The hand plays differently after you check...

Re: Weak TP?
This is a pretty good-sized pot. It's worth running the small risk of giving a free card to protect your hand with a check/raise.
Edit: And people sometimes say that SSHE no longer applies to online games. |
