Monster Draw played passively on flop
Live 10/20, second lowest limit at the room.
4 players limp, I complete T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], bb checks. BB is a relatively new player to the room and seems a little too loose and pays maybe a bit too much post-flop. The CO is fairly aggressive and possibly a losing player, seems a bit loose. Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 sb) I check planning to checkraise, bb bets, everyone folds back to me, and I call with a likely equity edge in order to improve my implied odds. Is that reasonable? |

Re: Monster Draw played passively on flop
No. You pump this flop as hard as you can and trap everybody including the dealer, chip runner, and cocktail girl. How can you not? Your pot equity has to be massive.

If I knew the BB was going to bet the flop, I would go for the check raise.
Otherwise, as long as your putting in bets it's kind of hard to screw this thing up on the flop. |

Re: Monster Draw played passively on flop
I would also check the flop. How often is this going to check through? When you bet you run the risk of getting raised and ending up playing your monster draw HU, loosing all your implied odds. The same thing happened here and you didn't even bet which just happens sometimes. It sucks to have a draw like this and barely be a favorite against any Ace.

Re: Monster Draw played passively on flop
Only problem with check raising this is you have no idea who or where a flop bet is coming from. In thoery it would bea good idea if you knew that info. On this flop with an Ace out, a flush draw and a str8 draw I think that if you bet here you are getting a few hanger onners.
As played, I think I just call the BB's flop bet since the pot is so tiny and you have so many outs here. You may be able to trap him for more big bets if you hit one of your cards on the turn. |

It sucks to have a draw like this and barely be a favorite against any Ace. [/ QUOTE ] What sucks is playing a smal pot with this hand. You have to rely on how these players play after the flop. You should have some idea if this hand will be bet or not. If you are in doubt that money will be going into this pot, then start betting. The worst case is that you get heads up, and that's still +EV. But you have a lot more to gain on the plus side if things go medium case or best case. In other words, you have more to gain by betting and things going well than you have to lose by betting and things going poorly. |
