How to deal with that checkraise? I don't have any reads about this player. Rainbow board, I have a backdoor straightdraw and toppair with bad kicker. How can I play it better?

I decided to call here, because he is last to act and everybody has checked. I have Overcards and a backdoorstraight and backdoorflush draw.
On the Turn I improve to a gutshot and a flushdraw so I decided to call again. On the river I pick up my straight. Fold flop? Or anything else I can play better?

1) wait for big blind before you enter a game ;)
3-bet flop to knock out the BB

2) Bet Flop

3) 3-bet flop, bet ~ 3bet turn :)


I have one question about the first hand. Don't we want many players for only a little 'fee' preflop (and with that a multiway pot on the flop) with a hand like J9s because of the implied odds? A coach once said to me:
'With a hand like that, it is mostly easy to play postflop. If you don't hit, there is no high card strength and you have an easy fold, but if you hit, there is still some deceptiveness.'

How does this match with this hand? Which point do I missinterpret here?

there are only 2 people in front of you who entered the pot, so your pot odds are really bad to play a drawing hand like that.
(without the posted SB)

But i dont want to pay 2 SB to see a flop with J9s .. where do you stop then ? J8s J7s ? or 54s :) ... it�s too expensive in the long run

Maybe you could call here if there were 4 people in front of you ( 1 raiser +3 coldcaller ) ... check Pokerstove ! ;)
