Hi all
Haven't posted a hand in a while, here's one I would like some advice on.
Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:
$0.02/$0.05 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)
Known players:
[tg]SB$6.74:///////;BB$6.24:///////;UTG2$5.24:///////;MP1$5.91:///////;MP2(Hero)$5.00:///////;MP3$2.50:///////;CO$4.78:///////;BU$0.94:///////;[/tg]
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A:c, T:c.
UTG2 folds, MP1 calls $0.05, Hero calls $0.05, 3 folds, SB calls $0.03, BB checks.
Normally I raise. But I've raised the previous two hands, so I thought I'll just limp in and see a cheap flop. If I raise again, people might think I'm full of shit and fire back at me, which I'll be forced to fold. Is this the right thinking?
Flop: ($0.2) Q:c, 9:d, 4:c (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks.
I pick up a nice flush draw. Everyone checks and I thought why not take a free card? Should I have bet?
Turn: ($0.2) 6:h (4 players)
SB bets $0.15, BB calls $0.15, MP1 folds, Hero calls $0.15.
Turn is a blank, but a bet and a call gives me good odds to call.
River: ($0.65) 6:c (3 players)
SB bets $0.20, BB raises to $0.70, Hero raises to $2.00, SB folds, BB raises to $6.04, Hero calls $2.80(All-In).
I got my flush, but not with a perfect card. This was a difficult spot for me. If I just call BB's raise, I will on most occasions miss out on value. But if I raise, I don't think he'll call me with less than a boat. In the end I decided to raise and ended up being all in. Please comment on river play. Thanks
Final Pot: $11.69.
