Final Pot: 16 BB

no specific reads on the villians.

no idea why i didnt raise the flop. looking at the hand now this seems like a must raise.

on the turn i have the nuts both ways but a flushdraw out there is very likely. question is to call or 3bet as i did. the argument for calling would be the hope of keeping the button in and maybe a 3bet from the BB. a 3bet just makes the pot bigger, the only hand those villians might fold are babyflushdraws.

the river card kinda sucks. does anyone raise the river?

[kolotoure]

I'm always raising this river

disclaimer : i suck at o8

[Man of Means]

yeah, raise and cap the flop

river could go either way and a raise is marginal. your 6-high str8 has a decent chance of being best but Nailbanger may have filled up (the way he played it looks like two wheel cards + set like A344 etc; MP likely has A3 so a low chop is probably happening; with no read i probably call.

[Rainshine]

def raise flop. I play turn as played, a cap basically screams that you have A3, and I don' feel a worse low calls here.

[JMAnon]

I would raise/cap it on the flop.

Definitely re-raise the turn. The fact that no-one else capped makes it less likely someone else has a wheel. Most low-limit players can't lay off the raise button when they have a wheel.

I would also raise/cap the river. Based on the non-cap of the turn, I think you will get 1/2, 3/4, or scoop more often than you will get 1/4. And you don't lose that much when you are 1/4ed compared to what you win when you get 3/4 or scoop.

[/ QUOTE ]Hi Olrik - A raise would have been O.K. No raise seems O.K. to me too.

[/ QUOTE ]I like the three bet - and it's not close.

[/ QUOTE ]The river is a horrid card for you, reducing the probability of you scooping!

[/ QUOTE ]I'd probably raise. Assuming your opponents know what they're doing, you probably won't get the whole pot, but I think you'll get more than a third more often than you get less than a third.

[uminchu]
