Jdr999 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I was playing .10/.25 PLO on UB a few minutes ago when this hand came up.I have :heartsq:, :clubsq:, :hearts5:, :spades7:, in mid-late postion (two off the button) and with thre elimpers I limp in as well. Everyone else to act calls, and the flop comes:spadesq:, :clubsk:, :diamondsa:. Everyone checks around and I bet the pot. The button calls the $2 bet.The turn is the :diamondsk:, which gives me a full house. I check, and the button bets 1/2 the pot, and I callThe river is the :diamonds7 and I bet the pot, which leaves me with $3. Button raises to put me all-in and I call. I am sickened when he shows me :clubsa:, :clubsk:, x, x, and wins a $40 pot. My main question is should I have been wary of the 1/2 pot bet? (I thought he might of have a straight and was seeing where he was at.)Also, at any point in the hand, could I have played it differently (besides folding pre-flop)? Link to post Share on other sites
messingTexass 0 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 That lucky son of a b!tch, How could he outdraw you! There's nothing you can do, you did well. It's just a bad beat. Link to post Share on other sites
Kendren 1 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Not betting the turn was bad. You didn't find out where you were, if he had a straight or what. Bottom set on the flop is tricky, especially against a coordinated flop like that. Tough one, tho. But AA, KK, KQ, K7 are the only combos that beat you. Other than checking the turn, I probably would have played it the same way. Link to post Share on other sites

bdc30 0 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I don't care what set you have, when it's thebottom set on the flop, in most cases it's garbage.With A K out there as well, you're even worse off.Bottom set when the flop is 10 9 6 or somethingisn't as bad, because the odds of someone playingpocket 9's or 10's are a lot less than someone playingA's or K's.I would venture to say you're at least beaten by a straight somewhere in a full ring game right off the flop, and then even farther behind once the board pairs. C'mon 4th Q, cuz that's about all that helps... Link to post Share on other sites
mk 11 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 hard to lay down (it gets easier), but the underfull will kill you in plo, the game of the nuts. Link to post Share on other sites
