100 NL - I Just Don't Know

[vizer02]

Villain was 25/7 over 100 hands.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 9 Players - (http://www.legopoker.co <font color="red"> </font> m/hh)

SB: $48.20
BB: $41.65
UTG: $44.60
UTG+1: $95.00
MP1: $154.75
MP2: $102.50
Hero (MP3): $197.20
CO: $124.20
BTN: $132.75

Preflop: Hero is dealt 3s 5s (9 Players)
2 folds, MP1 calls $1.00, MP2 folds, Hero raises to $4.50, CO folds, BTN calls $4.50, SB calls $4.00, BB calls $3.50, MP1 calls $3.50

Flop: ($22.50) 3c Qh 3d (5 Players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $10.00, 3 folds, MP1 raises to $27.00, Hero calls $17.00

<font color="red"> My normal c-bet is 3/4 pot, but I hit this flop good so I ~1/2 pot it. I don't want to lose anybody with a Queen, and hate giving free cards especially in a 4-way pot. Is this type of c-bet ok or does it give away the strength of my hand?

Also, I flat-called the flop raise for two reasons. If I reraise I doubt that a worse hand will call. I don't want it looking like I have an overpair to villain. Also, it seems villain is repping a 3 by the raise, or thinks I have air, so I want to let him continue on the turn. </font>

Turn: ($76.50) Tc (2 Players)
MP1 bets $30.00, Hero calls $30.00

<font color="red"> This is where I think I played the hand bad. Would you mini raise here, or shove? Or is it ok as played?
</font>
River: ($136.50) 6c (2 Players)
MP1 bets $50.00, Hero ???

<font color="red"> Calls or shoves? I wasn't liking my 3 kicker after this bet</font>

Pre-flop is kinda loose, but I shouldn't be the one to criticize that. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You hit jackpot on the flop. I would bet around $15. If they call the $10 bet, 99% of the time they will also call $15, and this gets more money into the pot.

I would raise that turn. He has QT a lot IMO. If he has A3, well cooler. You raise with a 53 and hit just about the best possible flop. Get it in.

This basically sums it up; there's no way he can put you on a 3, he's doing this with a whole crapload of hands you have beat.

Raise the turn.
What do you mean you didnt like your 3 kicker? You put him on a 3 also?

I like to pound the hell out of limpers when in LP regardless of my holdings. I guess that's the 6-max side of my game. I agree with the raise turn comments, thanks. I shoved river and he folded FWIW.

punishing limpers doesn't really work if you're on the hijack. this is definitely a -EV play if you're making plays with such bad hands.

bet more on flop, raise the turn, shove river. He has AQ.
