loogie 115 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Here's how I would have played it.Fold preflop.Bet more on the flop: $4 or $5Check behind on the river after the scare card. Link to post Share on other sites

stonecrow 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I still dont know if would call this hand though to the raise.It's a viable limp hand on the button but not to a 3xBB raise. Offsuit at that. If an ace drops and the raiser has anything of AA, AK, AQ, AJ, AK you're beat...Also, I hate getting into situations such as this where the raiser is one of those loose raise any ace players and the hand just turns into a battle of better kickers (or who hits their kicker two-pair).It's like throwing money away IMO.

loogie 115 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 6 players is short handed, but it's no 3 or 4.A9o is just not something I want to play against a raise. I'm tight, but I'm not weak.The Hero made a large raise on the turn, which the SB called. He has either a made hand or a new flush draw. The flush comes on the river and he checks into the Hero, who's shown to be aggressive on the hand. It's a dangerous spot. I like to push two pair early in hands, but not late. this is why the flop bet needs to be bigger. Link to post Share on other sites
