How do you play this??
I always seem to get stuck when I get delt a BB special...would you raise it or keep em betting out?? There is always a fear of a suckout and the river diamond K gave me shivers. Would any of you played it differently? Or was the play right?

Oh boy. You should probably head back down to the micro limits if you're playing with scared money.
PROTIP: Raise |

Re: How do you play this??
it's the fact that I had a 6 kicker not exactly the nuts...and I wasn't scared just was questioning if a raise was proper or my calling his bets the better way to gather cash?And asked it here to get some insight.

Re: How do you play this??
This is one of the strangest HH's I've ever seen. for one, you're playing 3/6 NL, and 5/7 players have around 25 BB's. If this is the actual case, you shouldn't play in this room.
Bizarrely, the flop is limped pre and then bet on three streets, but never more than a min bet. Raise the flop and/or turn. As far as your commentary, why in the world would the river Kd scare you? What possible hand could this guy min-bet the flop with that could become a backdoor flush by the river? He can't have Txdd or 3xdd. If you're worried about losing money and want to play bare minimum pots, with a 33 BB buy in, you probably should move down levels. |

Re: How do you play this??
I am slowly moving up imits as my roll allows me...I currently have 100 buy ins @ 3/6 so I am thinking that is alright. As far as this table are short tables @ this level bad?? It was a new table and I did'nt think much about the stack sizes was that some bad oversight??

Re: How do you play this??
The question is where should you put in a raise.
Flop - I will raise if I think the player is loose enough that he will call with a couple high cards (KQ) or a pair of 3s, etc. If not, I just call. Turn - Again he bets the minimum. At this point he most likely has a pair but not trips. At this point I will just call as a raise will likely scare him off (remember why we didn't raise the flop) River - Again he bets the minimum. We can be quite sure that if he had a hand that beat us he would have bet more by now, he most likely has a pair of maybe high card ace. I think this is the best place to raise as he knows he won't face any more scary bets so will often call with a pair of 9s or even 3s etc. since you waited for the river. For these reasons I would play it like you until the river, where I would raise to $30 hoping to be payed off. |
