Sorry I wasn't able to get the HH. I'll try to make easy to read.

I was still under 10 hands for this session thus far, so no real reads on BB. He picked up one smallish pot with a Late position bet on the flop after limping and folded the other hands.

NLHE 1/2 (6 handed)

(BB) 150 ish
(SB) 100
(Hero) 100


Hero is Button with card_spades_a.gif card_clubs_q.gif

Players A, B and C fold, Hero raises to $6, SB folds, BB calls


Flop: card_spades_k.gif card_spades_q.gif card_diamonds_k.gif
BB bets $4, Hero raises to $10, BB calls (pot $33)

Turn card_spades_10.gif
BB bets $24, Hero folds


I just did not know what I needed to make my hand. I wasn't sure if the flush draw was live, or the straight draw. I had a feeling that I was best at the time, but while AJ, QhJs popped into my head, I ran out of time and was forced to fold. He did tell me what he had later, but it didn't make any sense with the way the hand was played.

Any suggestions? Or clues as to what you think he had would be much appreciated. Folding seemed rather weak, so I was disappointed to have to let it go.

I think its a good fold on your part without a read. If your call your basically going to be facing an ai on the turn and potentially needing your royal flush to win.

Your preflop seems a little light on the bet size though.

I like the flop and turn play though...

3X not big enough pf in your opinion? I mix it up between 3, 4 or 4.5 times the BB for pf raises.

I'm still not sure on what he had...what do you think?

Funny, I was in the same situation and also laid it down. He showed the same hand as me, however, it was a rainbow board. Opponents can definitely make some "weird" plays.

Anyway, I would say your flush draw is live. I just can't see our opponent having a boat here. I'd say he has two pair with a flush draw or (your probably going to think this is crazy) a pp 7,7 to 9,9 and is trying to move u off your hand with this board being scary.

Yeah, the guy said he had KT, but if that isn't a guy lying about his hand, I don't know what is. I really felt I was best, but was not sure enough to act in the amount of time given.
