Hand I observed

[danzasmack]

Game is a mediocre 30/60 game that just filled up (6 handed). Hero just sat down this is his 1st hand.

Hero is in BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain opens OTB, hero defend.

Hero c/c.

Hero c/c.

River 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Hero checks with intention of folding.

Anyway what are your thoughts on this hand. TBH it blew my mind/kept me up at night.

It blows my mind that it blows your mind.

pf: no other way to play it
flop: I often c/r the flop here but it has to be marginal. there may be more to gain by calling if we often get a free river. this is the only questionable street IMO.

turn: standard as played, we're hoping for a free card and I think when we don't get it our fold eq is pretty low. but we have plenty of outs to continue.

river: we lose

Since it was a button raise and his range could be huge. I think a flop c/r or donk on the flop might be good. B/F turn uninproved. I probably play it the way it was played but I think I am re-evaluating that stance after reading it.

Looks like standard flop c/r to fold out the best hand immediately/on the turn. When I'm running bad/playing bad and I c/c flop then I just c/c down after catching a pair on the turn like hero did.

I really hate how this hand played. I never c/c this flop with a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw. I'd just fold, but if I'm continuing I'd much rather c/r than c/c.

[DeathDonkey]

This is style-dependent IMO. Some people that CR this flop will never have an ace, they should not CR with 54 if that's the case. As played I would have called the river probably.

I would never ever just c/c this flop. My default is fold. If I have some read or recent table history that makes me believe continuing is worthwhile, I c/r, but I c/r a lot of flops.

[Keepitsimple]

People dont bluffraise enough where I play so its best to play OOP fast.

Probably quite exploitable if I ever play vs a guy who raises turn/river with the right frequencies.

[JustZak]

I also don't think preflop should be standard. Against some of the players with tighter steal ranges I think its better to fold this preflop.
