Two pair on a drawish board, multi-way.

Results 1 to 7 of 7
  1. #1

    Default Two pair on a drawish board, multi-way.

    This is the sort of hand I get in trouble with. There's flush and straight draws here. The J and the A could have completed either.

    What do you think?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($15.45)
    UTG+1 ($28.28)
    UTG+2 ($27.70)
    MP1 ($56.23)
    MP2 ($10.60)
    MP3 ($6.62)
    Hero ($30.70)
    Button ($24.65)
    SB ($9)
    BB ($62.29)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 7, 8. SB posts a blind of $0.10.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    .. checks. There are not many hands you beat (KQ/QT?), none of which will call a bet. And there are not many hands you don't beat that will fold to a bet.

    If you're gonna bet the turn, don't bet less than half pot.

    takes his free showdown. If they called you down with a worse hand good and if they checked a draw or called you with the completed draw on the money streets then they lot a shitload of money.

    I checked and took it down versus 96s (hearts).

    Would a good turn bet be half? Or should it be 3/4?

    i like raising preflop here

    also i think that your flop raise is much much too small.
