| Table is a typical 10-20 game. Unless stated, players are average. There is an occassional raise (1 in 4) pre-flop mainly with decent starting hands. 1) I have 8c8d in 6th position. The best player is to my immediate right and has folded. Therefore, I am not too worried about a raise. One limper, me, button and SB calls, BB checks. Flop is 8h7s8s giving me quads. It is checked to me, I bet. BB and limper call, Rags for turn and river. I bet both times. The BB goes all-in on my river bet. Limper calls the turn but folds the river. I bet for two reasons: 1) if i bet, they might put me on one 8 but not two and still would call with any flush or straight draw, 2) if I checked, who would bet. Besides on outright bluff, who is going to bet that board and although giving a free card isn't going to hurt, I wanted to get some money into the pot. 2) Early position player who is better than average raises. The best player at the table who is to my immediate right reraises. I have QQ. I know the guy to my right would reriase with AA, KK, JJ, any AK or AQ. MY options are to call or cap. I decide to cap as I might get a free card on the flop even in an A or K hit. Everyone folds except both raisers who call. 3 players $130 in the pot. Flop comes 10c8c3s. It is checked to me, I think about betting but decide to check and plan on raising the turn in an A or K doesn't hit. Of course, Ah hits the turn. First player checks, second player bets, both of us call. River is a blank. Second player bets, we both call. Second player has AK, first player has AQ so after being first pre-flop and flop, I end up third. I really wanted to fold on the turn but I thought it might set me up to get attacked later so I paid him off. In hindsight, I think I should have just called the 3-bet pre-flop and than raise the flop when no A or K came. I think the AQ would have folded; but I still might have gotten called by the other player. If I get re-raised, I call and fold on the turn. I think a bet on the flop does nothing because they would be getting 14-1 on their call and would see the turn anyway. Btw, The BB told the dealer that he had AJ. Besides throwing the hand away on the turn, anybody have any suggestions? 3) Whenever I was in the small blind, The button would ALWAYS raise if he was the first in. This happened 5 times. In this situation, I knew this guy would raise with 7-2o. I called once with two suited and once with connectors. Both times, I ended up folding on the turn after he bet. The 5th time, I got AA and it was folded to the button who raised. I thought about reraising to make sure the BB didn't play; but, I decided to wait and make the button pay (BB folded anyway). Flop comes 8 9 x one heart. He bets, and just like I did the other two times I call. Turn is 10h. He bets, I raise, he reraises. I'm thinking that I finally get a hand and end up losing to a better hand; but, I call. River is the 9h. I check, he checks. I flip over my AA and he folds. Since I didn't bet, I didn't have a right to see his cards. I think he might have gotten two pair on the turn and figured I had an overpair so he wasn't going to bet when I had a possible higher two pair. Should I have done anything different? | ||
