5 Way Pot From BB T4s

rhizome · #1 02-13-2006, 09:56 PM

MP is 55/17/1.5 after 100 hands
CO is 38/6/0.7 after 86 hands
BTN is 31/11/1.7 after 88 hands
SB is 82/5/0.8 after 96 hands

Sometimes I muck these hands preflop, but I think I've been playing too tight. How'd I do on all streets?

I definately fold this preflop.
EDIT: I need to look at this as i would fold this preflop every time and other ppl seem to think its an easy call [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would probably c/r the flop and lead the turn.
If your going to lead the flop, lead the turn too. This way when he raises you can 3-bet it.
As you played it, i would lead the river too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Preflop call gettin 1-9 is fine. I don't like donking this flop. Your hand is strong enough you don't need to protect it and thin out the rest of the field. Go for a C/R on the flop. MP is aggro enough to lead this flop, if not, you have 3 other players behind MP to act.

The way you played it, I like the C/r on the turn. But, I don't get the check on the river. Bet the river.

Preflop call is standard for me.

I check-call the flop, check-raise the turn, sometimes c/ring the flop. I don't like betting out as you'll get raised, thinning the field to those drawing dead.

I'm not sure why I thought this, but my initial thought was that MP would re-raise me on the flop. I felt this would protect my hand better than if he led the flop and then I c/r raised it (everyone would be calling 1 bet twice).

As for the river, are you suggesting bet/call?

Hmmm... I need to think about this.

I like the flop, your hand is strong but still somewhat vulnerable. I'd lead the turn again, you might be able to 3-bet. I don't understand the river check.

Looks good to me.

The only problem is is that this is a chance of variance, in my opinion. I wouldn't play this hand anymore than once in a long while, and get away immediately if you don't catch anything. I would even drop this hand if I hit a pair of 4's (without hitting the Ten) with overcards on the board. I feel dominated too many times with a small pair with overcards on the board, or high probability that a big overcard will come. This "theory" of mine has done well for me to sustain my roll for a better hand.
