Okay, I decided to not raise for a free card here, b/c of such early position, and the fact that a pair of 8's or 9's would probably not be good if I only hit a pair. This way, I also gain a bit more value if I get a call from the other 2 players. Now, Should I have checked here, or am I going to get paid off most of the time, or should I go for a C/R?


Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8:spade:, 7:spade:.
Hero calls, MP calls, [color:#666666]1 fold[/color], Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 6:club:, T:heart:, 5:spade: [color:#0000FF](5 players)[/color]
SB checks, [color:#CC3333]BB bets[/color], Hero calls, MP folds, Button calls, SB calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 4:spade: [color:#0000FF](4 players)[/color]
SB checks, BB checks, [color:#CC3333]Hero bets[/color], Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.

Final Pot: 5.50 BB

Seems pretty standard to me. BB was full of shit, and nobody else had a real hand. Checking that turn accomplishes nothing. Fire off and hope you get two players or c/r ed.

And use bet the pot format
