Final Pot: 19 BB

This is your typical loose microstakes game. I call preflop because UTG is a calling station, and I would get a lot of value out of him if I hit. Anyway, read on BB is that he plays loose (every single hand preflop). I got a few questions about the hand though.

Do you like raise on flop with pair and a flush draw (for value)?

Do you like the cap on the turn? I really felt that villain is 3-betting any flush.

Also, how did I play the river (3-bet worried me a little so I just called)?

[CrMenace]

This looks good to me. Heck, I'm even tempted to cap the river.

fold preflop, call flop - rest standard at this limit.

[tyler_cracker]

i like all of it.

[milesdyson]

sorry i'm now indifferent to the flop. i missed that we have a pair

[kerowo]

Does this being shorthanded make this a call instead of an instamuck pre-flop?

[Point Blank]

flop preflop ... you do not have the conditions to play this hand

??? ... if this is a typical loose game, why is it folded to hero OTB??

i like the flop raise ... but why did you do it??

turn is pretty much standard ... but without any player info I can't bring myself to raise the river (after you cap the turn you've already said what you have) ... against an aggressive player i raise/call .. against a really aggressive player I probably cap

against a somewhat passive player i just call

<font color="red">edit </font>

i missed that this is 5handed (is this a 5handed session or FR that is breaking up)

if 5handed i call OTB with the a number of opponents limping in EP (and soft blinds) ... if any aggressive you'll probably cost yourself money playing this hand

[tyler_cracker]

gentlemen,

as long as the blinds aren't very aggressive, i limp here all day, shorthanded or no.

it also really depends on how bad a player (or nit) the limper is (loose or tight doesn't really matter, as we are likely out of a tight range, except JT and 98) ...

and of course I didn't notice that UTG was a giant retard [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
