tasuki 0 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi again,this hand was pretty boring, apart from dubious preflop call (but hey - I was a SB) I'd be interested to know whether I should try a bluff somewhere and if so then where?PokerStars 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, Q. UTG calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, 3 folds, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks. I had no reads, but I felt that betting into 4 people is a bit too much without high card Q.Flop: (5 SB) 8, T, 4(5 players)Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, Button checks.Turn: (2.50 BB) 6(5 players)Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, Button checks.River: (2.50 BB) T(5 players)Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, Button checks.Final Pot: 2.50 BBYeah, pretty small pot, but it wouldn't hurt to have it for free Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 no.and fold preflop Link to post Share on other sites
doubleatrain 0 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 My vote is no. Hoping four people will fold for a 2.5 BB pot isn't worth it. Just let this one go.Also, yes, fold PF. The fact that you're only putting in half a bet doesn't necessarily make up for the fact that you end up spewing chips when you hit one pair or a weak draw. Especially since you're out of position. Just dump it PF. Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 easy fold preflop...half bets start adding up... Link to post Share on other sites
tasuki 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hmmm, I thought that my preflop call wasn't that bad. I know it wasn't very good, but since there are already 4 other people in I am getting pot odds about 1:9 (please correct me if I am wrong), and I thought that makes the call possible.Anyways, thank you for your responses Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 hey Zach.************yeah... RIO are bad.You'll put bets in on the big strets with 2nd best hands, a LOT.more players, means better POT ODDS, but also means you need a better hand to win.Since you won't win this on the 9:1 preflop call, you'll have to outflop, chase, or bluff/outplay all 4 of these guys..then the 9:1 will turn into 21:9, and you'll wonder why you put in that 1/2 SB to begin with with Q9off.89off, calling is better, yet, still marginal for a beginner.

SonicReducer 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Unless the flop here is QQ9, you're beat by a million different hands. Fold Preflop. Protecting your blinds is a good way to go broke. Link to post Share on other sites
