i've tried a thing or two, but not open-limping with 43s.

In a conversation with a buddy of mine, he thought checking the river would be better, since someone would raise. My thought was if someone had the A high flush I was going to get reraised, and since 2 people were hanging on, that seemed a distinct posiblity.

Duh, he should condition the other players laugh.gif

But seriously, the rest of the hand is played well with a big draw in a multiway pot. They likely have weak hands they will call with but not bet with. A 3 is likely raising here, all other hands are just calling. Have to bet the river.

I admit that was a loose thing to do, no arguement from me there. But IF you were in that position where some how you did, let's say you misclicked, was the rest of the hand played well from there on out?

Reason I am asking is because it was a rare time I had a straight flush draw and many opponents and tried to do it best I could.

hey, thanks for the opinions after the razzing. tongue.gif

lol i would play other streets differently but not the river.

You called/3 bet the flop, check/raised the turn. Do you really want to c/r the river??

use a HH converter, it's eleventy billion times easier for us to read.

I'll use a converter next time, sorry, first time posting a hand on here.

my idea with the other streets was getting as much money in the pot as I could with as many people. I thought that was the best way to get the best value for my hand.

also...

[i][b]Never post results
Cut off all action after yuor last action.
Or cut off at point you want opinions.

etc...

Yeah, I saw that rule after I posted it. Even though I have been on these a long long time, I ever posted a hand, again, sorry.

But, if my question was about the river, in this particular instance isn't the result fairly obvious? Or should I have cut something out?

I didn't realize how many people were in the hand, especially on the turn. Your play seems better now.

and yeah, Bdams, what was your question?

it's not obvious whether someone will raise you after you bet.
If you are raised by the next palyer to act...someone might argue, a c/r would've gotten you more money. So just cut it off after your river bet.. or don't show any river action and ask "What's my play?"

yeah, it was obvious you won; but not obvious what other palyers did.

plus, I"m anal.
