Default flopped two pair in the blinds

is there any other way to play this one?


*they're all pretty bad but nothing notable.

UB $1/$2 LHE 6 max 6/6

<font color="green">Chun li</font> is in the small blind with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Pre-flop:
one fold, MP calls, one fold, BT calls, <font color="green">Chun li completes</font>, BB checks

(4 small bets)

Flop:
7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

<font color="green">Chun li bets</font>, BB folds, MP calls, BT raises, <font color="green">Chun li three-bets</font>, MP folds, BT calls.

<font color="blue">i mighta been able to stop and go this flop bc there's some straight draws out there but i didn't think BT would raise for a free card here and was more likely to have a worse king or 78 or something so i pumped. i also wanted MP to pay as much as possible to be stuck in the middle</font>

(5.5 bets)

Turn:
J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

<font color="green">Chun li bets</font>, BT raises, <font color="green">Chun li calls</font>

<font color="blue">okay, the strongest draw came in and a fairly strong king may have made a better two pair. beyond that, a slowplayed set could make sense (people at 1/2 do this a lot...). my hand is still very strong but probably not strong enough to three-bet.</font>

(9.5 bets)

River:
3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

<font color="green">Chun li checks</font>, BT bets, <font color="green">Chun li calls</font>

(11.5 bets)


look okay?

Definitely don't 3bet the turn. It doesn't look like you beat much at this point. However, I think you can safely call down because of (1) your chance to fill up, (2) the possibility that button is tilt raising or trying an ill-thought out bluff, and (3) the possibility that button has grossly overplayed a hand like AA or AK.

Postflop looks good to me, for reasons you and Sweetjazz already gave. (The commentary in blue in the original post is pretty good, although I personally wouldn't have even considered a stop-n-go on the flop. If we really wanted to "trap" MP, though, the stop-n-go might be the best way to do it.)

FWIW, I don't, which is why I said "Postflop seems good to me."

I suspect it doesn't matter a whole lot, though.
