How do you play this??

[salesbeast]

I always seem to get stuck when I get delt a BB special...would you raise it or keep em betting out?? There is always a fear of a suckout and the river diamond K gave me shivers. Would any of you played it differently? Or was the play right?

Oh boy. You should probably head back down to the micro limits if you're playing with scared money.

PROTIP: Raise

[salesbeast]

it's the fact that I had a 6 kicker not exactly the nuts...and I wasn't scared just was questioning if a raise was proper or my calling his bets the better way to gather cash?And asked it here to get some insight.

wtf @ this hand and your stack size

[FireStorm]

This is one of the strangest HH's I've ever seen. for one, you're playing 3/6 NL, and 5/7 players have around 25 BB's. If this is the actual case, you shouldn't play in this room.

Bizarrely, the flop is limped pre and then bet on three streets, but never more than a min bet.

Raise the flop and/or turn. As far as your commentary, why in the world would the river Kd scare you? What possible hand could this guy min-bet the flop with that could become a backdoor flush by the river? He can't have Txdd or 3xdd. If you're worried about losing money and want to play bare minimum pots, with a 33 BB buy in, you probably should move down levels.

I am slowly moving up imits as my roll allows me...I currently have 100 buy ins @ 3/6 so I am thinking that is alright. As far as this table are short tables @ this level bad?? It was a new table and I did'nt think much about the stack sizes was that some bad oversight??

What does your reply mean?

[Trivial]

by 100 buyins you mean 100 x $200 ?

fwiw on this hand i think you should raise the flop, bet the turn and bet the river and you can probably fold if raised.

[FireStorm]

I think this is either a joke post or some wacked out form of leveling. Even if he meant 100 buy ins @ $200 a pop, he'd still be well-rolled for full buy ins at this level, and not in need of asking bizarre questions. I still can't understand how the table is this short stacked, someone please ascertain whether this is a fake HH.
