UTG+2 is 22/13/3.02 after 320 hands
SB is 49/9/1.69 only 35 hands though

I'm sure I didn't play a single street correctly.

hey Soccer, you can select "Bet The Pot" format and it looks a tad better for this forum.

SB is a clown. But UTG has nice semi-lag stats.
UTG is not raising with a K here. SB probably slow plays trips, too.

Raise flop.

re-evaluate after that.

You played preflop great!

Unless you raise the flop you'll be completely lost in this hand. Cap or no-cap by either villain tells us volumes.

You could've done worse. At least you didn't fold the turn or river. I'm guessing a mid pocket pair for UTG. SB could very well have a 3 the way he's playing.

what about betting the river once its checked to us?
thecamelot
I also 3-bet the flop. Preflop was fine yes smile.gif

PF good of course. don't see any reason not to bet the river when checked to.

i think flop is close, but 3-betting is better. decent value, and improves playability.

Will do Actuary. But at least I used a converter this time!

If online play weren't timed, or if I wasn't playing another table, I would have definitely 3 bet the flop. As it stands, I was still thinking, but not quite sure what to do, and I panicked and just hit call so the hand wasn't auto-folded. Any turn suggestions as played? I guess I could bet the river for value there, but at that point, because of how I played the flop, I wasn't sure exactly where I was at and I took the free sd.

As played a river bet would be perfectly reasonable. I can't see trips or a flush checking this river the way it's played out.

I don't think the flop 3-bet is close. I think it's an absolute must. If it's capped behind and the turn goes bet, raise this becomes an easy fold. If it's not capped behind there's a good chance it's check to us on the turn where we can bet and likely take it down right there.

I'd 3 bet flop live but I know the feeling of feeling rushed sometimes so I know exactly where you're coming from in this case.

I think turn was fine as I could have seen SB check raise if hitting the flush.

As soon as checked to you on river, I would have bet for value.

Unless both quite donkish which is quite possible in any case) you have the best hand as I cannot see any hands that beat you that warrant a check on the river the way it played out.

3-bet flop.

Bet/call turn (we have 4 outs to beat a flush)

C/c river if raised, bet/call if not.

This is all assuming nobody caps the flop. I doubt they do.

You played PF right smile.gif

Flop: 3-bet it and call a cap.

Turn:

1) Fold the turn UI if flop was capped, otherwise...
2) Bet, but I tend to fold if the guy closing the action raises because it's almost always a K.

River: Bet.
