Especially against the usual 10-20 mucks crowd. <BR/><BR/>Folding the flop getting 13-1 closing the action? Nope. I'm sliding one off and will fold the turn if I miss.<BR/><BR/>So technically, you should've lost 1 more small bet.<BR/><BR/>It's shocking to see Ryan and Matt in suits. ;)<BR/><BR/>bAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-56748120283740943342007-07-24T17:33:00.000-07:002007-07-24T17:33:00.000-07:00Damnit John!

First, Ace-rag is a hand that should be thrown away in the BB to most any preflop raise. The only exceptions are if its suited and it's a multiway pot or if the PFR came from the hijack, cutoff, or the button.<BR/><BR/>Also, in this particular hand, I think leading out on the flop doesn't get you much information. Nearly 100% of the time the PFR (preflop raiser) is going to raise you either with a hand or not because he has position on you. If you call and check the turn he could see the turn and river for free. If you check raise though, you'll get a lot more information in this multiway pot. Does the PFR have a hand he can three-bet like a big ace or a set? If so, then you can muck safely having only lost two small bets. That's the key. This will put more pressure on the flat caller and you also get to see how the PFR reacts to the ace hitting the flop. If it looks like he likes it, then you may want to fold for no bet when it comes back to you. I think if you check-raised the flop the ten's would have called, the eight's would have folded, and you would have won the hand by leading on the turn. <BR/><BR/>My rule: Lead out with strong hands hoping to three bet and check-raise with marginal hands to gain more information.Ryan Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895231785777446687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-26694375412010305782007-07-24T14:55:00.000-07:002007-07-24T14:55:00.000-07:00Mistake #1 was calling A7 from the Blind. You onl...Mistake #1 was calling A7 from the Blind. You only have two options depending on where the rasie came from. Option #1, muck, which should be the option 95% of the time with that hand and 4 people in the pot before the button. Option #2 if the raise came from the Hijack, the button called and SB called, would have been to three bet the hand and represent strength. At that point you could have bet out and you most likely would have won the pot. At worst the 10's may have come with you but the 88's would have been gone. Passive poker is weak poker, and that bleeds chips. Better luck next time...SJSeattlejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596707378570486288noreply@blogger.com
