Absolute 0 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Playing in a weekly home game (dealer calls) and I call NL 2-7 triple draw, in hopes to really lure in a couple fish at the table.I am dealt A-3-3-4-8One player raises the minimum and I quickly call on the button. Not a great starting hand, but a lot of potential to such a small bet.4 to the flop. (UTG+1, CO, Me, BB) [The pot has about $3 or $4, all my pot sizes here are rough estimates, I don't exactly recall the amount, but its close]BB draws 3, raiser (UTG+1) draws 2, CO draws 2I discard the A an the 3 and draw a 2 and a 7so now i have2-3-4-7-8UTG+1 bets the pot. CO folds. I just call (I am still kind of new to the game, so this may be a missed bet but I really didn't want to push out the BB here and I was pretty sure I was way ahead here.) BB calls.The pot going in to the second draw now is $12.BB draws 2, UTG+1 draws 2, I stay pat.Checked to me.....What do you do here?Stacks at second drawMyself [button]: $55UTG+1: $30BB: $25 Link to post Share on other sites
RonBurgundy 0 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 bet pot? seems like if they drew 2, its likely they don't have u beat, make them try to draw 1 and beat u on the last draw? warning: never ever played this game Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I like your pat stand as you have a solid hand that would be kinda rough to improve on. I'd bet the pot here. BTW, this game works best as a limit game where if the limits are $1/$2 it goes 1122. NL is usually best when playing single draw Link to post Share on other sites

akishore 0 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 NL triple draw? that's crazy. usually, if it's triple draw, it's limit, and if it's NL, it's single draw. i wouldn't suggest playing this game too much...anyway, i would have raised after the first draw. you have a very strong 8-low, but i can kind of understand your logic about wanting an overcall. however, this is akin to slowplaying top set on a rainbow flop three-handed when faced with a bet--why risk getting just one extra call (which might not even happen) when you can make more by getting the bettor to call a raise?you see what i mean? it's actually more profitable to get more chips from the bettor (especially since this is NL) than to try to get just a few chips from an overcall. if the pot was maybe six-handed and you had a wheel, slowplaying is more understandable, but 1) your 8-low isn't quite monstrous enough to slowplay, and 2) it's more profitable to raise.anyway, after it's checked to you, bet a good amount, between $8-$10. put pressure on their stacks, especially since they very lamely drew two each. that's just plain ridiculous... with that much action, they're drawing two? you definitely have the best hand.aseem Link to post Share on other sites
