Help with a Hand in $3/5 NL game
I posted this in another forum and a regular told me to try posting it here for input.
I think it was an interesting hand, and I think I played it pretty poorly. I would love to hear what some of you would have done in my possition... I'll start with a little backstory for the situation. I had been playing for maybe 2-3 hrs and had taken a couple tough hits in big hands, but had also given a couple bad hits in big hands. Player A had just moved from my right to an open seat on my left for the declared purpose of getting better possition on me. Player A had about $600 and was playing a rather solid game but seemed to not like playing pots with me. I just played a big hand from the SB where I flopped a wheel SF draw with As3s I checked, Player B bet, I raised, he pushed, I thought I had odds to call for the size of the pot and called. I hit my nut flush on the river and took down a $1k pot. Player B rebought for $300. Two hands later I am in the cutoff with Player B limped-in UTG ahead of me, I held KhQh and I noticed that Player A (on the button) was holding chips for a raise. I decided to raise to $20 and see if he had a strong hand or if he wanted to play his possition. Player A calls the $20, and Player B calls the $20. 3 players to the flop, ~$65 total pot. The flop came out 9hThAs. Player B checks Hero: ???? What action should I take here?

I'd vary my bet based on who I thought was most likely to raise me. $40 if I thought it was UTG, and $60 if I thought it was BN. I'd bet $50 if I wasn't sure. If these guys are nitty, maybe bet smaller so you can try to chase if raised.

Re: Help with a Hand in $3/5 NL game
Again, a post from another board:
I almost always make a continuation bet, and vary the size of it based on pot size, possition, and any reads on players in the hand, and how I want to manipulate the pot. I would say 80-90+ % of the time I c-bet. I did bet $45, and really expected to take down the pot right there or get a call from at most one of the two players. What happened really surprised me as Player A raised to $145 and Player B insta-called (over half his remaining stack.) This is the first time that Player A had shown this aggression toward me all night, but I had done it to him quite a few times. I was also surprised that Player B just called. He had pushed all in more times than the rest of the table combined so far in the evening. I was a tad startled and was just starting to think about what to do with that chain of action when I...????? What action should I take here?

Re: Help with a Hand in $3/5 NL game
When the Player B check called a bet/raise I was pretty surprised. I happened to have $100, the amount for a call, in my hand and I was just starting to consider what the action meant and what I wanted to do when I saw the dealer burn a card and start to bring out the turn.
I quickly said "wait, I haven't called yet" as I reached out to stop him with the hand I had 4 $25 chips in. House rules are crossing the line with chips, the chips stay in the pot. Not to mention I used the word "call." Huge mistake right there.... The dealers mistake of not seeing my cards made me make an even bigger mistake of rushing my own action. If I had it to do over, I call over the floor and get a ruling about whether or not that "call" stood as my action. Either way, it is what it is, and the turn was the Qc... Checked to me... and I ????
