Typical Area of Confusion - suited cards in the SB
Hello all, this is my first post. Getting back into playing, this time I just want to learn. So here is a hand I face often that never seems to work out. Chasing a flush from EP. Should I be out of this hand altogether? What is your strategy with this type of hand...how would you play it differently?
Pre-Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (SB) UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, BTN calls, Hero calls, BB checks Flop: (5 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 Players) <font color="red">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls, BTN calls Turn: (5 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 Players) Hero checks, <font color="red">BB bets</font>, 3 folds, Hero calls River: (7 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) Hero checks, <font color="red">BB bets</font>, Hero folds Results: 7 BB Pot (0.25 BB Rake) BB mucked and WON 6.75 BB (+4.75 BB NET) |

Sorry, I had two in mind and chose the non-suited one, typical for a first timer huh?

From EP I wouldn't have bet out on the flop. You're still drawing and not to the nuts. Otherwise I thought it played fine.

Flush over flush is rare.
The flop is ragged enough that there is no reason to think anyone is going to bet. The last thing you want is for this to get checked through. With 5 players seeing the flop every bet that goes in makes you money. |

welcome. this is fine. nh. dont forget to give read (eg your oppoents in this hand love to call call call)
[ QUOTE ] So here is a hand I face often that never seems to work out. [/ QUOTE ] likely variance or selective memory regarding not making flushes. it is surprisingly easy to remember all the times that we miss our flushes or get AA busted and forget when they win or hold up. [ QUOTE ] You're still drawing and not to the nuts. [/ QUOTE ] dont be scared of running into a bigger flush draw here when you have QxSooted. thats mubsy. |
