PF limp in I hate...It's a fold...

River bet is meh, however, Mp2 could likely have a draw and your 3hi isn't winning at showdown without firing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

OK...For starters:

Preflop: 23s is a terrible hand in early position pre-flop, and should be thrown away almost if not every time. Calling the preflop raise was bad as well.

Flop: What do you hope to gain by calling? If you are attempting a semi-bluff with your weak flush draw, you need to raise here. Calling accomplishes nothing but gets more money into a pot when you have no hand, no idea where you are and a sketchy draw.

Turn: If you had re-raised the flop, his check on the turn would be an invitation to take down the pot with a nice bet. However, if for some reason you are dead set on stealing this pot, this is the time to do it.

River: There are no reasons to bet here. The only hand that will call you is one that has you beat.


I'll let others more if they chose to.

Yea, it seems low SC's arent very popular so it's time to start folding them.

Since MP2 donked it i didnt really know what too do as if i raise and the pre-flop raiser shoves and MP2 calls i am in a bit of tough spot so I decided to call hoping too see a cheap enough turn card. I can also get away from the hand cheaply enough if they both get it all in on the flop.

If i bet anything on the turn it commits him, he is going to call me down with a T, Q or draw. The only hand he folds on the turn is a bluff.

River: Since betting is the only way i can win the hand i decide to chance my arm.

And the only hand he folds on the river is a bluff. Waiting until the river, however, gives villain one more free card to make a hand or improve his hand to the point he's not afraid of you. Shove the turn, if that's what you want to do. No need to wait.

Yeah, but that board...I guess I can concede that the river shove was the only way to take it down, but would you agree a turn shove would accomplish the same thing, only better (no free card)?

He has a crappy FD and it looks on teh turn w/ his flop bet and turn cehck that Mp2 also has some sort of draw, and we are going to be getting looked up by Mp2's draw on the turn I would assume... Teddie is right by just taking his free turn river.

I guess we'll just agree to disagree. IMO he just let someone with a 6 and a backdoor club flush draw, or a 9 (which would explain the bet after the flop) get there.

LOL, considering he has precisely the board I'd say this is probably a true statement. I don't have much problem with the bluff. It seems pretty convincing to me that you have trips or better so you fold a huge percentage of the hands he could have. It would be better if you had some kinda reads on the villain though.

Edit: Meant to add that a fold PF was the best line here. Limping in isn't the worst play in the world, but once it gets raised the jig is up.
