I think, you can draw here with almost anything, that's drawable. The problem is, everybody gets incredible good pot odds for his hand.
So, my strategy was to check-raise like a maniac with my top overcard draw to drive out opponents. But nobody was impressed.

How would you play a hand with infinity pod odds against almost all oppenents to max. your profit?

Flop and turn are atrocities against poker. River bet is marginal. But hey, you got preflop right!

Do you have any idea why these wonderful potodds suddenly materialized?

Hint: Some people in the hand aren't looking at potodds but are focusing on their equity...

Yo, I really have no clue how to play such a hand right. What should I've done on the flop, turn, river instead?

MrWookie · #5 10-18-2006, 06:05 PM

Let's start out with you telling us how often you expect to win this hand. If you can't answer that, it's time to learn how.

Ok. Preflop, I've a premium hand with a great pot equity advantage, so I raise for value. I expect to win this hand a good share of the time.
On the flop, I've a rainbow with only one high card, holding two overcards. Since there is so much action and so many opponents, the danger of three of a kind and over pocket pairs is great. I think, I could win 50% of the time with top pair, So, I've 3 outs to the best pair on the turn. That's chance of approx. 6%. So, I "own" 1,5 SB of the pot on the flop.
On the turn, I don't hit the draw. There is no danger of a flush and a little change to a straight. The main concerns are quads and three of kind. Since there is so much action, I've only a little chance to win this hand.

Hm, I think raising and betting was the wrong strategy. Calling and checking is the right strategy. Folding would be right in a smaller pot. But since the pot is so huge, I call down to the river, right?
Since th

Here's a useful question to ask yourself: what hands would UTG+1 limp then reraise with preflop?

P,

There you go.

I cap every street and hope to get lucky.

Hm, ok, he probably holds a very big pocket pair. MP3 is also likely to have a big pocket pair. Since both bet/raise on the flop and there a so many other calles, I should have folded my very, very weak drawing hand right away on the flop.
I think, I was "AK blind".
