A9s - Good or Bad? Live 3/6 hand

[Christian_Peters]

I keep having nightmares about this hand and I don't know, I mean I just don't know whether my flop play was good or bad? Please help me out.

MP2 is 2nd best player at the table. Everyone else are between retarded and drunk.

I call. MP2 raises. CO calls. BTN calls. SB folds. BB calls. I call.

Flop (5 players / 11SB) : K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB checks. I check. MP2 bets. CO calls. BTN calls. BB folds. I raise. MP2 just calls. CO calls. BTN calls.

This was just my value raise with 3 others in the hand.

Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet. MP2 folds. CO folds. BTN calls.

River: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet. BTN calls.



Now, what kills me is that I got 2 folders when I led the turn, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure neither CO nor MP2 had me on a flush draw, neither are familiar with the concept of raising on a flush draw for value.

I'm having this nightmare that if I had just called the flop, the turn would have gone something like:

I check, MP2 bets, CO calls, BTN calls, I raise, MP2 folds, CO calls, BTN calls.


Comments appreciated

i fail to see how you didnt play this hand perfectly

the turn is equally likely to just get checked around if no one has a K, which seems probable.

Nice hand.

Played it like a champ. Nothing to second-guess here. Too bad that everyone folded - but that happens.

Nice hand. Consider raising preflop, but nice hand.

3-bet or instead of limping? I don't really like the raise instead of a limp, but a 3-bet seems kind of fun.

What's the reasoning? We just got raised by quite probably a dominating hand, we are out of position, and two more are tagging along. Can't be value raise, can't be iso raise, what is it then?

[BigBadBabar]

raising first in the first time, he means, instead of limping.

I would have done 1 of 2 things, c/c the flop then c/r the turn, but more likely i would have led out on the flop. Then if there is a raise behind, just call and look to c/r the turn if i hit. Or if there is no raise and everyone called i would still likely try to c/r the turn. Still nothing wrong with how you played it but if this works you'll end up getting more money out of them.

Instead of a limp. Limp-reraising here would be pretty bad.
