Default I call.

Great 20/40 game at the Borg. PF limper is a total calling station and will always see a showdown if he has two cards, chips, and a pulse. He has all three during this hand. The PF 3-bettor is somewhat LP, but sometimes aggro within reason and sometimes tries to push his better hands, but usually backs off when faced with callers/aggression unless he has a monster himself. I have yet to see him 3-bet PF.

I have J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the CO.

Two limps to me, I limp, button raises, SB 3-bets, BB folds, one limper folds, one calls, I call, button calls.

Flop:

T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB bets, limper calls, I call, button folds.

Turn:

3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Bet, call, call.

River:

8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked around.

Awful?

I kinda like it. SB played his hand like an overpair, and the limper is trapped between you making it hard to raise him out. I don't think raising the flop or turn does you much good anyway, since you're still behind his range. His river check is probably a scared one with JJ/QQ assuming one of you guys called with an 8 and doesn't want to face a raise. So I don't see much of a value in a bet -- your turn call is essentially in hopes of hitting a 5-outer (you're getting around 8:1, which is fine since 5% of the time or so you'll also have the best hand).

only 5%? I think we're giving his 3bet a little too much credit here. I like the river check as well as played. I'd be tempted to raise flop though.

I'm only going off the read that SB backs off when faced with callers. So it doesn't sound like he would fire again on the turn with AK.

Does anyone else like folding to PF when it comes back 2-cold to us? (assuming we didn't raise it ourselves)

I know that JTs is a pretty good hand to have 4-handed in a big pot, but we're not closing the action (paying 4 bets really hurts our implied odds) and we'll be trapped in between two players who both seem to like their hands. It seems like often we'll get stuck with a good draw but get whipsawed by SB and Button and have to the pay the max to draw on every street.

Button folded getting 17:1...wierd but i'd not to take any chances and raise that flop myself. That pot is big enough already for us to draw to 5 outs and we got to clear those outs now.

I could have sworn I already replied to this thread saying these exact words. Apparently I didn't, so

Raise preflop. Bet river. I don't think I really need to give an explanation, doing something other than this could merit an explanation though. I haven't read the replies after this one I quoted but I'd be pretty surprised if someone wants to do something different.

Default Results

The SB had AA and the other guy mucked.

I figured the SB had an overpair and checked the river because he was afraid either the moron or I rivered trips.

I was folding the river UI, FWIW. Terrible line?
