Full Version: Marginal Hand Against Lots Of Callers

Reads: A bunch of loose callers

If there weren't 2 other players calling along here, this hand could be a lot simpler.

What's the best way to play this?
Bet-fold the flop?
Check-call the turn?
My way certainly seems wrong.
But does it have some merit?

Please advise.

Meh, our hand is strong, but we're like never ahead when the turn gets raised here.

I'm not sure how much I like donking out on the turn, but I don't hate it anyways.

Tough spot. Multiway pots are a big leak for me right now, since I've played nothing but HU for like 10 months, lol.

the easiest way to play this hand is to fold pf. J6 is a really hard hand to play oop in a multi way pot because of hands EXACTLY like this.

I was in the Big Blind and saw the flop for free.
Folding preflop would have been a mistake.

Wow. This one is tough. I think bet/fold the flop definitely has some merit. I don't mind check/evaluating on the flop either. If it's two bets back to us we can just fold I think. If one player bets and it folds to us we can c/r. And if it checks around we can lead a lot of turns. With a b/c on the flop, I certainly can't see this playing any other way than you did.

i would 3-bet the flop or c/r the turn

once co raises on that flop i give him a range of worse sixes and mid pairs that beat you. with utg calling hes got to have something. the good news is that becouse of the action preflop a worse six is very possible.

i don't like leading the turn. i think he is betting that turn just about all the time and you should check raise.
