$24 – big draw aggression

20.01.2010, 11:17 0

i chose to lead out with my straight and flush draws in the 4 way multi.

i guess check/calling and playing it passive is ok as well but i wanted to get max value if i hit either draw + the extra FE when im the aggressor and miss seemed to make this an ok lead on the flop for me...

i considered getting it in on the flop but decided to slow down and my plan for the turn was check call for odds or get it in if i hit.

i put him on a strong made hand after he 3bet flop. maybe 2pair or a set. a made straight is possible.. but i wasnt too worried about that.

i thought i could get him to fold a made hand with the 4 card straight on the board. i was obviously playing b/f turn because i think i have to c/f to any decent bet by villain if i give him the chance to bet.

in hindsight i think the passive route through the whole hand would have been slightly better with the blinds being so small...

tough spot.

I'm not really excited about getting all my chips in on this flop, sure you have a really good combodraw but it's still only like 55% equity vs made hands (guestimate).

So I'm really leaning towards checking the flop and responding to the action behind me. If there's a bet and a raise I usualy fold, if there's one bet I call.

Well after you have bet out on this flop I would call the reraise aswell, but don't lead out on this turn! He showed agression on the flop and you're folding to a raise.. so why lead out? I prefer check/call or check/folding (depending on betsize) and I'm not calling a big bet.

there is always a bigger fish

I am going for a C/C or C/R on the flop, more likely C/C, depending on the action I could find a fold here as well, the problem is I need FE here to play for stacks on the flop.
Or I want to improve to keep on playing this hand, and the Q is not an improvement, you have the worst top pair with 2 one card straights out there.

If you bet here, IMHO you have to shove on his raise, the problem is you have no clue which outs are clean, so you will be in bad shape on a lot of cards that you think helps you, or your madehand will not get paid because you can only hit scarecards for his madehand.
