Final Pot: t4150

the flop bet is awful isn't it? as played a fold seems pretty clear...?

[RexWoo]

Yep, bet waaay more on the flop, in the 400+ range.

As played, it's hard to find many hands that you beat beside QJ / JT / QT / KJ / AK type of hands, but I'm probably not folding against an unknown with so many chips in the pot.

[EscapePlan9]

I fold PF.

As played... bet about 380 on flop. Bet 650 on turn, fold to the check-raise.

[mondonman]

Def bet ~t420 on the flop.
As played I call the push. There are some hands that you beat. Everything´s possible at Party.

why ?

[Lahmshuffle]

i will always raise this preflop on the button in an uncotested pot, smallball...i called and lost against AJ (of course the turn had hit him)...is there anyway i can prevent losing more money...i think he would have called a potsized bet on the flop, i am drawing dead on the turn...

With those hands, Flop, and Turn, I don't see how. That's simply bad luck. However, by betting 450 so on the Flop you'd punish flush and straight draws while(theoretically) get hands like QJ to fold.

[EscapePlan9]

A9 is marginal and it's going to cost us about 7x BB (700 chips at this level) to raise pre-flop and toss out a c/b - that's why I fold preflop.

I agree that you should bet much more on the flop here. You're giving him the perfect price to draw.
