Also any other thoughts on my play here. CO was 44/11 over 64 hands, UTG+2 was 38/10 and bb was 13/0 all over same number of hands. No other reads really. This is a full stack table.

I'd prob just stick it in on the turn based on the stack sizesI'm not sure on the flop play

Tbh I think he played it sweet, although im also probably shoving the turn.Although we've flopped a big draw, I dont like a raise here mostly cause there's to many hands in the pot. If it's two or three handed I'd opt for a raise here cause you have a much bigger fold equity. Because there's two players to act behind I'd really rather leave myself room to call re-raise against a jack or queen and then get paid of when i make my draw on the turn. I really dont want to be getting it all in here on the flop on that board against a jack and four handed that is very likely to happen.

I haven't played FR online in forever, but I think (or without thinking) I would just insta raise raise raise the flop.As played on the turn, def as james said, bet enough to get all-in so we dont have a weird stack to pot issue on the river.**I also think that after the passivitiy shown on the flop, some merit can be givin to check call turn AND check call river (unless we StraightFlush). not sure why but I like it.

LOL yeah she. Thanks, there is a good argument for raising the flop and I totally agree with stack sizes I should have just shoved the turn. As played even though a lot of cards on that board could give the opponent a full house he could have had any number of jacks with his stats so I just didn't see a fold here with all that was in the pot already.

Maybe this isn't my week.... This one was way worse than the one above. No whine just sick, sick, sick :-)If you see anyway I could played this differently please let me know.

Other than get it in on the flop as a little more than a 3:1 favorite? No.Although I will say, PF I would play differently. I'm either folding or 3betting there. I rarely call a raise out of the SB, unless I have a good read that the BB is a fish and is always calling behind.Too much of a risk otherwise of either getting squeezed and having to fold, or playing a marginal hand oop with no initiative.

I would raise the UTG+2's cbet, it is very weak and you have a powerful draw. After CO raises, you are in an awkward spot since they might be raising just to put you out since a stong hand wouldn't just call that flop bet size. However if they do have a strong hand then you might have only 2 outs.

play different ? You got all the money in as favourite. Please don't be results orientated.

[DiamondDixie]

I guess that did sound like I was being results oriented but I wasn't really. I was mostly referring to pre-flop about playing the hand vs folding or 3 betting. No way I wasn't getting it all in here. I just got unlucky on the river. I've just started playing cash again after a long time playing mostly sngs and mttts and I've only played about 35K hands overall (around 10K since starting back to play) so I'm pretty rusty and need help. I ran pretty well for a while and I'm currently at 9,440 hands of 50NL part FR and part 6 max with $339.30 profit and 3.59BB/100 over 14 days. As to be expected the last few days have been rough. I know I have numerous leaks and I'm trying to get those ironed out. I have some other hands I have questions about so I'll post here. I appreciate any help I can get.

[trystero]

89s is a fold/3-bet pf unless BB really drools and isn't a threat to 3-betin the first hand, CO's bet-sizing is scary

[CobaltBlue]

DD, several thoughts...Top up. In the OP, I notice that you're sitting with $46. Unless you're specifically employing a short-stack strat, keep 100bb on the table.I think T9s is actually going to be a fold here pre. I think we're in too early of a position to be playing this very profitably. That said, if we are going to play it, I do like that we're playing it against loose opponents. However, the reason we're playing this hand is that we can get aggressive when we get a good board texture. This is that excellent board texture. Raise it up against the PFR and then puke a little if the CO cold 3-bets it. As played, definitely CRAI the turn.Also, I agree with my colleagues that flatting 98s from the SB is generally a bad idea.

I like this line.after looking over the hand, I think we're beat here often. mostly to J,Q J,K type holding, but because of the loose wide range, it possible he shows up with a lot of J,x hands, and even draws
