My first play along - 44 flops a draw
I decided to make this a play along because there are about 3 spots in this hand where I am not certain of the right move. I hope it isn't painfully obvious or anything. Since I'm not sure how the response will go, I'll just post each part in about 5 or 10 minute intervals. There should be only 3 parts.
-thanks Christian My very first hand at the table. No reads. PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (9 handed) Hand History Converter Toolfrom Preflop: Hero is BB with 4, 4. MP3 posts a blind of $0.02. UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="red">MP2 raises</font>, MP3 (poster) calls, 2 folds</font>, SB calls, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls. Flop: (14 SB) 5, 6, 3 (7 players)</font> SB checks, Hero checks (Betting here is very bad - agree?), UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="red">MP1 bets</font>, <font color="red">MP2 raises</font>, MP3 calls, SB folds, Hero calls (pot is just too big to let this go, right?), UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, <font color="red">MP1 3-bets</font>, <font color="red">MP2 caps</font>, MP3 calls, Hero?????? </font> |

Ugh.
First, I think 10min is too fast. Then, you can't really fold now, since the pot is 10385660SB big and you only have to win it once between now and the eschaton. So call. |

I'm thinkin we have 10 maybe 11.5 outs here. We are callin this one. (In before the play along police.)

(In before the play along police.) [/ QUOTE ] I'm not certain but I think the point of the play along is to discuss each decision before you show us what you've done, so your first post is actually 3 posts in one; pre-flop, flop check, flop call. |

[/ QUOTE ] from Wook's rules [ QUOTE ] 2. The hand should feature at a bare minimum TWO very marginal situations that will generate good discussion. If there are 3 or 4, all the better. If you have a great hand to post with just one decision that will generate good discussion, a regular hand post will work best for it. Otherwise, discussion of the important street will get buried by "raise preflop." 3. Speaking of which, if preflop play is obvious, there's no shame in starting at the flop. [/ QUOTE ] The question is if preflop is obvious - I think so, I also think flop check is standard. I think hero should call both times. |

call preflop and call flop both times.
i predict that the turn decision is similarly facile, but i'm willing to be surprised. |

MP2 screams QQ-AA, he is not a problem if we hit. But MP1 screams either a flopped set which kills our set outs, or a Axh flush draw, which kills our 2 of our str8 outs. We have 6 clean str8 outs, but some discount for when we hit on the turn and someone fills up or flushes the river, call it 5 outs. Maybe discount the other 2 str8 outs to .5-1, and discount the two 4 outs to 1 for the times MP1 has a set, seems like we have about 7 outs. Still a call though. |

I guess you could say we have a back door full house draw. Boy I hope we don't get to the point where it becomes common to say, "I had a BDFHD for 1 out." So lets say we give ourselves 6 outs for the OESD since a 2 or 6 doesn't give us the nuts and somebody else could have already flopped a set and have the afore mentioned BDFHD (Oh crap, it's already happening) on us. So we're looking at about 6 + 1(BDFHD) discounted outs. I'm never giving us the BDFD outs here. Wait, what's this? We also have a BDSFD (back door straight flush draw) for another 1/4 outs. 7 1/4 outs. My bad. At any rate, yes I'm calling in both spots on the flop and I hate anything on the turn except a non heart 2 or 7. Note: I didn't do any actual math to get the exact value of a BDFHD or BDSFD. I'm just lightly estimated. One of you more nitty folks can waste your time trying to find that out. Toodles. Feeling very sarcasilastic, Befolder |

I don't see why betting the flop would be bad. You have decent equity in a peelish flop and some people will be smart enough not to cbet into like 7 people.
