Preflop - raise
Flop - i think cap is a bit too much
Turn - OK
River - just call .. full house possibility

[/ QUOTE ]

preflop: never even considered that, don't think I should

flop: possibly, but with position and my strong draw I felt capping, was better than calling 1 more.

With 12 outs to a straight or a flop and two people obviously coming along, capping this is +EV. Even if we discount our outs down to 9, capping this is +EV.

I think preflop Call is probably an even money bet on position alone
Playing this hand preflop can't be a crime (can't mathmatically figure it out due to vodka but...)

if you have any post flop skills I'm sure this is a bad decision to fold 1off suited connectors due to fear.

Call it...play it.... foldit/win it.. either way don't be scared to call a sb

With ~15 outs, I'd have raised MP1 on the flop, but since you got to cap anyway, there's not much to quibble about there.

With the nut straight and my own flush draw, I would have been tempted to call on the turn to keep BB in. But since he comes along anyway, you obviously did the right thing by 3-betting.

On the river, how likely is it that we're up against 87 or 86? Since you capped the flop and 3-bet the turn and BB still bets out on the river, I think we need to respect that possibility. I call and expect MP1 to show me a 5. Hard to believe he wouldn't be raising with his own boat.

I just call the river.
