I don't understand why you bet the flop. You whiffed completely, three more people yet to act including preflop capper. That's spew. I am check/calling the flop and reevaluating. Turn/river OK as played.

no continuation there with overs? hoping to fold people?

flop bet is kind of meh with 4 to the flop ...

and this flop has connected with a lot of hand ... some of which has you reverse dominated

if you had [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] it's a little less meh [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Are you crazy?? This is a terrible spot to c-bet! Lets' see:

(1) You have nothing but two overcards - CHECK
(2) Four people in the hand - CHECK
(3) Preflop capper is last to act - CHECK
(4) Flop is pretty coordinated - CHECK
(5) It's a loose game and opponents will cal with any pair or draw - CHECK

Spew on all counts. Poor little kitten, we'll give her a nice burial.

Jmitchell, to clear things up, I highly recommend to learn these by heart:

ahh. remy, i have learned to love your replies. don't hold any punches. you also tell me why you are punching "there".
you are the reason i post.
seriously, will read the links and was being serious about appreciating you not holding punches. please for my sake keep it up.

I play preflop the same way. I wouldn't bet into three villains with unimproved AK. I definitely call a bet to see the turn, though, as you have the odds to continue.

As played, I don't donk the turn. If you're ahead, you don't want to tip that off by donking (and, in doing so, give villain the chance to play his hand more optimally). If you're behind, you don't want to give villain a chance to raise you.

I play river the same way.

-grunch-

flop: check-call flop. could be a made pair.
Turn: now check-raise-3bet
River: lead-call

flop bet is silly.

you're beat on the river but i guess you have to call.

doing anything that involves "CR turn/3 bet/cap" or whatever = burning money. honestly if you check raise the turn and get 3 bet its close to a fold as your almost always up against a set.
