0.1/0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.41 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A♠, Q♣
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises, 3 folds, CO calls, BU folds, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (10.00 SB) K♣, J♠, Q♠ (5 players)
SB bets, BB folds, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, CO folds, SB calls, UTG caps, Hero calls, SB calls.

Turn: (11.00 BB) 8♣ (3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, SB folds.

OK to call here? Even though UTG caps on flop, I've got OESD, and only need to call 1/12 pot
River: (13.00 BB) 8♦ (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 15.00 BB

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows two pairs, queens and eights (A♠ Q♣)
UTG shows two pairs, queens and eights (Q♦ 9♣)

The beginner's article on flop play doesn't say what to do when you have an OESD and someone raises in front of you. Guess I was lucky here... UTG raised and capped with a gutshot straight draw!

Isn't JQKA an OESD? A 10 or a 2 gives me a straight


No the 2 doesn't giveyou a straight.

The only possible straight which contans an ace AND 2 is the wheel:

Can somene link the strategy article where this is explained please? I can't find it.

To the hand:

I don't like the 3-bet but I think you did that because you thought you have an OESD. With just a gutshot I like a simple call more. You have a pair, a gurshot and a backdoor nutflushdraw which is enough.

Ah right... duh. Oh well... guess that's how you learn.


Well actually there should be an article about that. This is a fault which many beginners do. I already asked for one. :)
