When Do You Just Stick Around after Missing the Flop?
This initial raiser was a bit of a loose cannon (37/17). I normally don't call the pre-flop raise with A-10 there but erred toward my play-a-hand-that-will-get-me-in-trouble strategy. Then seven people join me. Then I have to call all these callers after the flop. What action would get you out of there on the turn if any? Btw, I think my river check/raise is moronic on my part...

I think raising the turn with the nut flush and gutshot draw would have been super sexy

Preflop- Usually I fold this. Against this opponent I'd make it 3bets to try and isolate him.
flop- OK. Turn- I like a raise. You have a pretty big draw here. River- Just lead out. |

Re: When Do You Just Stick Around after Missing the Flop?
Yeah, this is 3bet or fold territory preflop, and even against a 37/17 I'd generally just fold it. Your hand isn't that strong & there are a lot of players left to act who could wake up with a stronger one. The one exception might be if I had been playing tighter than a gnat's bunghole & felt the 3bet would get rid of anything less than JJ/AK.
As far as the turn goes, I like the way you played it. Yeah, you picked up a bunch of outs, but you don't know if MP2 has the flush already (cutting out 5 of your outs if you're counting the gutshot), nor can you be sure he won't 3bet & get rid of your customers. Even in a perfect world where all your outs are live (to the flush and the straight), getting in another round of bets is only slightly +EV. You pretty much have to donk the river--you got insanely lucky not only that Button tried to steal the pot, but also that UTG decided to call twice. |

Re: When Do You Just Stick Around after Missing the Flop?
I'll 3-bet here with AT preflop. Cold-calling encourages multiway action; I'd rather try to isolate. The drawback is that you are in a rather early position, so I don't have much of a problem with folding.
The rest of the hand I think is fine, though you have to bet out on the river as it is a card that will encourage many of your opponents' weaker hands to just check behind. There is also a lower chance that your check-raise will be called, so you may end up making just one bet on the river anyway. |
