15-30 SB hand, TOM WAGGONER, 1. Mar 2003 01:33
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
This was a loose 15-30 HE game. I was in the small blind with 3c5c. Five players limped, and the button raised. I decided to call, anticipating a big pot and good implied odds if I hit. The BB called, as well as all the limpers. The flop was Kc8c2h, I bet, three folded, three called, and the button raised, everyone called. The turn was the Kd. I checked, checked too the button who bets, and I raise and everyone folds. The button flung his cards in the muck, saying he got his aces cracked again. I know this was a very risky play, but it doesn't have to work too often to make it profitable with those odds. Any comments?

Hi Roy, Yeah, the situation was right. The button had been taking some bad beats, and I had been showing down a lot of winners when I raised. When I checkraised him on the turn, the button actually folded out of turn, because he was pissed. He said I know you got the king, and everyone else folded, then he mumbled the bit about his aces cracked again. I almost hate to pick on somebody who's been run over all night, but I guess that's the nature of the game. By the way, I like your article Real Poker, I have been reading it for years. I especially liked "Up and down and back again," cause I can relate.

I think that was a great hand for a loose agressive player (I am one) to make, but I think that your preflop call was a little questionable. Suited one-gappers are pretty marginal even with a lot of limpers and your cards are tiny. With 56 suited I would definitely come in there, but the 35 suited is something I would do very very rarely. That said, if you put the guy on aces and the king comes, great play.
