Just wondering what you think of this hand. Its online low limit holdem and I'm dealt Jd Td in the BB. 8 callers to me and I raise. Everyone calls. 9 handed.

Flop: Kd Tc 7d

SB checks, I bet. 3 callers to the button who raises. SB calls and I reraise. Everyone calls. 6 handed.

Turn: Jc

SB checks. I bet. Everyone calls. 6 handed.

River: 2h

SB checks. I bet. 2 callers.


Thanks once again for you feedback.

I think I would have played it exactly the same as you did, except that I might have checked it on the river. The board is awfully cluttered there and I get the heebie jeebies about tons of people calling with a board like that. You got a good flop and you pushed it hard. It didn't work out this time, but I think the situation is perfect for that type of raise before the flop, and there's no reason to stop once the flop is that nice to you.

I don't like the pre-flop raise here. I realize that you are trying to build a bigger pot on the off chance that you get a flop you like, but your position stinks and there is the possibility of a re-raise to your left that may fold off the field that you want (indeed need) to have odds for your hand. On the button, a raise would be more appropriate because it may buy you a free card as well.

I also don't like your flop bet. You are betting with second pair and an undercard kicker with backdoor str8 potential. I don't think this is strong enough to bet because you could be raised to your left and then what do you do. I would perfer to check/call here as you will probably have the odds to peel one off if you do.

The turn card puts three cards in the zone now, so even with two pair I don't like the bet. Again, I would likely check call for your 7 outer here (3 queens, 2 Jacks and 2 Tens).

Bottom line, I think you overplayed this hand given the oard and draws that were out there.

I also don't like the pre-flop bet. You're out of position.

What was the button thinking not raising you on the turn?
