I suck at playing draws
Villain is unknown but seems like a bad Tag on the weak tight side from about 20 hands of play.
Mostly interested in a flop line. With this many draws would it be best to reraise to about $35? This was my thought right after the hand. Party Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.50/$1 5 players Converter Stack sizes: Hero: $119.70 CO: $94.69 Button: $91 SB: $372.28 BB: $75.65 Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $4</font>, 3 folds, BB calls. Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($8.5, 2 players) BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $6</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $12</font>, Hero calls. Turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($32.5, 2 players) BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $20</font>, BB calls. River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($72.5, 2 players) BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $45</font>, BB folds. Uncalled bets: $45 returned to Hero. Results: Final pot: $72.5 |

Re: I suck at playing draws
Off the flop, if hero has QQ/99/TT, you still have 10 clean outs to beat him. Thus, initially bet more on the flop ($8/$9) to see where you stand. Villian's check miniraise could easily be a flush draw. Calling the miniraise is fine but when the K hits the turn, you have to make a PSB to protect against a possible paired board for a boat on the river - $20 there is far too small.

Re: I suck at playing draws
I can't see playing this hand much different. However, I think you might be able to bet more on the turn.

Re: I suck at playing draws
Note that Villain is short. He only has around $60 left on the turn, so I make a 2/3 pot bet to insure getting all his money in by the river.
2/3 on the flop seems fine. A flush draw is not getting the correct odds to call. But I could be wrong. Anyone else want to chime in on bet sizing? |

Re: I suck at playing draws
The reason I suggest slightly more is to get him slightly more committed. If you were to bet 25-30, instead of 20, you will probably still get called by the same range, but he is committed, as are you.
What is your plan if the river flushes and he pushes? If you had bet 25-30, the call is easier on the river than if you leave him with $40. Overall, I think this is a minor thing and the hand was played well. |
