Did I play this badly?

calabazas · #1 10-26-2007, 06:24 PM

Did I play this hand badly because I got severely criticized for it? My Logic was to take a stand here. I was the short stack, and had 8 outs. Not to mention I was having a terrible run of cards. This was hand #46 and I had not even been dealt any Ace yet. So I get a decent hand and a promising flop and went with it. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

standard.

Seats are out of order so I'm not sure about pf.

On the flop the pot is about 2100:700 so you only need to be good 25% of the time.

You will hit the straight 35%, but may lose to a flush.

Even if you take those 2 outs away you are still about 25%.

Call is fine.

Huh! The seats are out of order. Seat 4 was Button, Seat 5 SB, Me-Seat 6 BB. Pre-flop was no raises just calls. Thanks for reply.

Your stack totally justifies it, and you did good leading out on the flop.

The guy is just a standard micro whiner.

I think it's fine. You not only had the OESD, you also had a chance for a runner-runner flush as well. That counts as an extra 1-1.5 outs.

OK, since your bet on the flop made you pot committed it might have been better to go all-in directly instead of calling his raise.

BTW: Converting your hands make them a lot easier to read. Takes only a minute...

thanks for the reply MMagicM. How do you convert your hands btw, I don't know how and would like to make it easier on people? Also, what does OESD mean? thanks

OESD = Open End Straight Draw

Here is a list with Acronyms & Abbreviations

There are many hand converter tools, just google for it.

this is perfectly fine. When you have less than 10 big blinds you need to push at some point, and you had enough outs to justify it here.
