I hate it.

Raising that preflop sucked.

Flop bet is ok.

Turn bet sucks.

River depends on reads.

what's your cutoff here for raising pocket pairs, because i would raise nines here

Of course the flop bet is OK, but do you 3-bet?

Also, I don't know why the turn bet sucks. Do you just throw your cards in the muck?

Villain's raise could be flush draw, straight draw, other poket pair.

I'd like more analysis of turn.

And I'm not very happy about the river either.

I think i'm 3 betting the flop and betting the turn. Probly check/folding this river though since CO has already called.

Actually, the pfr isn't that bad if the BB is tight. I just hate playing 88 in a four way raised pot OOP.

Nah. Too many bad cards can hit on the turn. No fold equity right now, etc. You may not even be ahead right now.



Nope. But I do check. That turn card was terrible. Pray that MP has ace high and that CO is just donking it up with overs or has a FD/OESD. If it goes check-bet-raise, you'll be glad you checked.



Maybe they have 66 and 55 :-) . Overcalling here is no good unless you have a read that tells you it's ok.

Moved up already?

I played 6,200 hands at .5/1. Thought I might learn more at 1/2.

FYP

Wish I could give you any decent advice on this hand.

PF is close, raise or don't prolly won't make much difference.

I think I almost always 3-bet this flop, at least when I don't know the turn is another 3. Still, I don't mind the call since you can't protect your hand with the raise.

Check/call feels weak on the turn. I probably bet/fold it.

River is close, but I'm putting at least one opponent on A-high thruout the hand and probably folding it rather than overcalling. But I don't hate the call either... whole hand is close really.

If your behind in a hand like this better off finding out on the flop then on the turn. And IMO you're 3 betting this for value. Against 2 opponents you really aren't dodging that many cards on the turn and even if you are your odds of winning this hand is def better then 33%.
