River: (9 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: 11 BB

A couple of notes: The guy in the CO bets a lot of flops often with nothing or a marginal hand. The button just sat down a couple of hands ago. All in all, I think I played this pretty badly on the flop especially calling the 3-bet. On the turn my thinking was that If my opponent was holding a straight I'm pretty sure I had odds for a draw to a Full House; however if he was 3-betting with top 2 pair I am probably in a lot of trouble. Advice ?

I certainly don't see a raise on the flop. That seems like extremely wishful thinking.

Turn hrmm out of position donk looks about right calling 3 bet and call river.

Pretty sure its a weak call as that river seriously sucks but can't fold the trips.

Yeah, I feel that the flop raise was definitely a bad move since the Button called in front of me. If it was just me and the CO I think the raise on the flop could really be for value since he will open bet/call with any pair or nothing.

Anyone fold PF?

"I certainly don't see a raise on the flop. That seems like extremely wishful thinking."

Is it really THAT bad ? The read was he bets pretty much anything. Button calls... that means... he has 2 cards.

donk is infinitely better than a c/r in this situation ir you 6hink A on that board is good.

Riku · #7 10-02-2007, 03:50 PM

Probably so. But given how it was played, you still might have the best hand with that read.

Posting blind: if you're scared, fold.

Having read your post: fold pf, don't raise the flop when the unknown overcalls, meh on the turn and river, you're toast but it's hard to fold trip aces.

Completely discounting BTN's involvement in the hand will take you down a dangerous road.

Yeah, but what does a call really mean here ? It could be the Ace (with a worse kicker, even), King, Ten, a draw, or maybe he just feels lucky.
