Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converterPreflop: MarginalMan is CO with A:heart:, J:heart:. 1 fold, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.Flop: (11 SB) J:spade:, T:spade:, A:spade: (5 players)SB checks, UTG+1 bets, MarginalMan calls, SB calls.this is most definitely a fold or three-bet situation right? to quote wrto, "calling is just so... weak." might i have folded here? i highly doubted it, so i decided i had to three-bet. i'm wondering if i should have just cold-called. unfortunately, it got capped right back in my face, and i was NO good.Turn: (12 BB) 8:club: (3 players)SB checks, MP2 bets, SB calls.should i consider folding here? the pot was just so big... the thing is, i definitely had outs to chase the boat. so this was a correct call, right?River: (15 BB) Q:diamond: (3 players)SB checks, MP2 bets, SB folds.i was STRONGLY considering saving a bet and folding. there was almost no way possible that i was good here. even if MP2 was a maniac and was betting the whole way with K :) 2 :D , he was good now. four to a straight, three to a flush, i got capped on the flop, i'm beat, right? but i just couldn't bring myself to fold getting 16-to-1.Final Pot: 17 BBaseem

This one's fun!imo, on the flop you have a 10% equity of winning the pot and are putting in 20% of the money. At first that looks but, but I think your hand is good 10% of the time. So, 10% of the time your hand is good and it holds up and the other 10% you outdraw a straight or flush with a full house. I like the flop 3-bet.I'm seriously torn between raising the turn and calling down.Call down. The pot is too big.If you raise the turn, you have to call a 3-bet and fold the river UI. I would throw up if I had to fold.This one is tough. I may change my mind, but this line looks goot.

do you really want to possibly draw to 4 outs if villian has a meade flush? nope didn't think so. I tink you're over compensating for being too tight

Time to pray to the poker gods, cause this hand is uncomfortable no matter what. At least SB is here to put a ton of money on the pot and fold to one bet on the river (hooray)Don't make the same mistake ;)Calling down is okay, if you lose this hand so what, take comfort in the fact that you played it correctly.If the pot was smaller, then maybe raise the turn to get that K or Q of spades to fold, but mehNH

Can't argue with that.

yeah, i like wrto's points the best.villian had 7-6 of spades for the flopped flush.even though i'm 99% sure i'm beat at the river, i think it just has to be a crying call, even in this extreme situation.aseem

Flop: I 3-bet this as wellTurn: You are probably beat after that cap but the pot is laying you 13 or 14:1 and you are 10.5:1 to hit the boat. Easy call.River: You absolutely cannot fold on that river with a pot that big. If a spade hit, sure.

that's no f'ing excuse, fish.any professional would have respected my raise enough to lay down that suited trash even after they limped.it's called saving bets--you need as many little edges as you can get against me.fish. :D aseem
