Cowboys again

[FineStyle]

Only played few hands at this table, seemed to be more on the loose side. Knew the button from another table, more loose-aggressive esp. preflop. I wanted to c/r on the flop.

Why not 3-bet the flop?

Don't play good hand passively in a multiway pot.

[Bad Beat Maker]

You had a strong flush draw there along with possibly top pair. Don't automatically give your opponents (especially at these limits) the benefit of the doubt and think they have Aces or a better hand.

[JavaNut]

Is a situation like this, where you are up against 4 players, maybe ahead, maybe behind, a situation where you should consider your pot equity (never understood this) and if you consider it to be better than 25% get so much money in the pot you can?

Probably just proved that I really don't get the equity stuff. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[Maxinho]

if you are behind you have at least 30% of pot equity, so you should put a lot of bets on the flop because your opponents, even when they are ahead you will win more than your share (25%)

[JavaNut]

So in hands like these, you would just raise the flop and reevaluate on the turn, but as this is not a scare card, You'd figure still to be more than 25% in pot equity and still bet/raise as much as you can.
On the river you have to compare pot-odds with the risk of someone holding A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The odds are too huge not to call. But what about betting the river? Or are we getting into spewing then?

I think that the standard play would be to 3-bet the flop, bet the turn, and bet the river if your turn bet was called.

I think that the time to call would be if you were raised on the turn or river.

3-bet flop. Bet/raise river.
