Sushi gets owned big time

[Sushiglutton]

I'm only posting this because I enjoy looking stupid. Seriously: How much of this disaster should have been avoided? I especially hope tyler will enjoy this since we had a little argument earlier.

Villain is 18.6/0.0/0.3 after 43 hands.

SSH'em recomends cold calling A7s against four cold-callers, so it can't be that bad?

[KitCloudkicker]

pf fine imo, raise flop now

yes i know domination blah blah. however this can easily get to be 6-7 ways and i like playing suited aces in these types of pots.

1 less caller and its borderline fold. prob fold.

Triple B,

For the preflop play you don't think this hand is worth 4:1 odds in position? I don't have a particular problem with seeing a flop here as long as hero remembers that he's probably dominated.

On the flop with five players I don't have a problem with slow-playing for overcalls or hoping someone else was trapping for a check-raise. You'd like to keep people in the hand here and build the pot.

The turn play of MP3 is mucho suspicious making me think he hit a boat. The river play is standard but being the weak-tight nit that I am I might have checked the river through.

So what precisely is so horrible about how he played the hand? I certainly don't see an obvious place where he should have stuck in a raise.

[BigBadBabar]

it's a fine pf limping hand after lots of limpers, or maybe raise it up every now and then. it's a bad coldcalling a raise hand, even imo if there are some other coldcallers. what flops are we hoping for? on ace high flops we tend to get destroyed.

babar,

we are looking to flop a flush (draw) and/or to reverse dominate big As and get paid off. i think we are getting plenty of overlay here to take on this mission.

[BigBadBabar]

tyler, thanks, i wasn't sure about those things.
