pokerplayer24 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cxPreflop: Hero is MP with [9h], [Qh]. UTG calls, Hero calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.Flop: (5 SB) [Th], [6s], [5h] (5 players)SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.Turn: (3.50 BB) [9d] (2 players)UTG betsThe table overal is pretty loose with something like 65% of people going to the flop.I flopped the flush draw but figured I would be better off just hoping to have some more people peel one off on the flop. With the board so draw heavy I figured its likely I get 3 bet. So is just calling on the flop the better play here or should i still be raising for a free card.On the turn I hit my 9, am i better off calling with the intention to call down unimproved or raise the river if I improve or is my raise here ok with the intention to check behind on the river unimproved.

borinka99 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 5-handed I would raise that PF hoping for the button to fold. I'd also bet the flop, and the turn after it came a 9, if it didn't come a 9 or a heart I would probably still bet since it is short-handed and no one showed any aggression.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't like the raise on the turn at all.You also can't raise the flop.1. If you raise the flop, it is more likely the rest of the field will fold. With a possibly naked flush draw, that's not what you want.2. Now you just called and it still ended up heads up. UTG had bet into two unknown hands and two probably weak blinds. He probably has the ten, but you can't be sure. What you can be sure of is that he won't fold a ten to your raise on the turn. What he WILL fold is something you are beating. You should not raise this turn.3. After you call the turn, the river either improves your hand to surely winning (14 outs) or leaves it unimproved. (a) you improve (i) he bets-you raise (ii) he checks-you bet (B) you don't (i) he bets-you call (ii) he checks-you....this is tough, do you value bet an unimproving river?I say no, he may have hit two pair and decided he had the balls to c/r. It would be safer to check behind. Link to post Share on other sites
