You shouldn't be smooth calling on the flop or the turn. One smooth call on the flop is ok if you plan on trying to get more action on the turn, but once it is three-bet you need to let the cat out of the bag. Capping on the flop or the turn lets you know where you're at. If you never put in a raise the whole time, and then decide to cap the river you could get yourself in some serious trouble because you don't know where you're at. Don't slowplay and try to get so tricky as much. Straight up play is the best way to go most of the time.

honestly?You could not have played it (hardly) worse.The River being the only good street.You didn't even post this in the proper forum!Why were you calling a Raise from the BB? with T7 off?SB is not on a steal here.Your hand sux. Muck it preflop.This is painful to read.I want to critique the horrendous flop and Turn, but I can't stomach the thought of adviseing someone how to play T7 off post flop from BB after a SB raise and 2 limpers.Is that the berating you were looking for?Please don't talk yourself into thinking it's ok to call with any two here because you probabily won and got lucky. The implied odds don't justify the play. If you were decent post flop player I'd say "meh, whatever dude, play T7 off for an extra SB, for grins".. but you suck post flop.

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cxHavn't read any post so I don't get swayed in my analysis.  Okay here we go.Preflop: Rageur is BB with [7d], [Tc].    UTG calls, 5 folds, Rageur calls, UTG calls, Button calls.Seems like you're defending your blind, no harm in calling this spot for an extra bet you've got plenty of equity.  But I would probably not call with this hand pre-flop.Flop: (8 SB) [7s], [7h], [4s] (4 players)SB bets, Rageur calls, UTG calls, Button folds.I think you can definitly cap this flop, the more money early on the better.  Are only concern would be a set of 4's which is not unlikely, or a seven with a better kicker.  You should probably fold if you think they have a set.  The three bet from the SB might be an overpair but I think you've hit your Gin cards and need to extract money.  If you get scared they hit their card on the turn, I would take the check fold line here.Turn: (9.50 BB) [2d] (3 players)SB bets, SB calls, Rageur calls.I think in this spot you keep jamming the pot.  You might be up against a set if you think that's a good possibitly once again check / fold is the best line in my opinion.River: (15.50 BB) [4c] (3 players)SB checks, Rageur bets, Rageur calls.MAGIC!  Either your set for a big hand, a tie, or someone just hit quads.  I wouldn't feel to bad about loosing to quads here it happens, just pay them off.  The bad thing about quads is the likely hood of him having the a set of 4's is even less likely, but it's still a possibility.  Most likely you got lucky and are chopping but sometimes your beat by quads.  I would have just gotten some more money in the pot on the flop and turn.Final Pot: 23.50 BB  Tell me what I should have done (ie. -berate me)....thanks in advance.

The Bwaves,I think your analysis was more painful to read than the hand.At least the OP has the excuse of 30 seconds to act.

The Bwaves,I think your analysis was more painful to read than the hand.At least the OP has the excuse of 30 seconds to act.

The OP asked for an analysis I gave it to him Bwaves style. Just because you ripped the OP a new one doesn't mean I have to be a complete ignoramous, like yourself. Just kidding, but what was so horrible about my analysis?Why don't you pick apart my analysis, and his hand, and then re-post why your the greatest?

Tell me what I should have done (ie. -berate me)....thanks in advance.

honestly?You could not have played it (hardly) worse.The River being the only good street.That's why we're analyzing the hand for him, because he did play it poorly, how would you have played it, if you hypothetically where to call one bet to win 4 bets?You didn't even post this in the proper forum!I don't blame you for that one, read the stickies before you post on a new forum.Why were you calling a Raise from the BB? with T7 off?SB is not on a steal here.Your hand sux. Muck it preflop.Good advise, you should not call with T7 off in the BB to a SB raise with two limpers.This is painful to read.Not necessary, but understandable, remember he does need our help.I want to critique the horrendous flop and Turn, but I can't stomach the thought of adviseing someone how to play T7 off post flop from BB after a SB raise and 2 limpers.The fact is he did and he needs help with how he should play if he's involved in this situation again.Is that the berating you were looking for?I'm pretty sure it was.Please don't talk yourself into thinking it's ok to call with any two here because you probabily won and got lucky. The implied odds don't justify the play. If you were decent post flop player I'd say "meh, whatever dude, play T7 off for an extra SB, for grins".. but you suck post flop.To be able to play these hands post flop you must be a better post flop player, you need to work on your post flop game would have worked too.
