Flop Top 2, Turned Boat: Extracting Value

    Default Flop Top 2, Turned Boat: Extracting Value

    Still working on plays, reads, hand selection, all the basics in extreme microstakes. Table was playing extremely passively surprisingly enough for these limits. Need feedback on this hand, felt like I missed out on a lot of value here. Should I bet the flop and risk running the table off in these situations or wait to see if someone will stab?

    Always bet the flop, people are more likely to call on the flop. With four others in the hand someone most likely caught a piece. Draws will call. You want to bet 2pr hands. There are two straight draws out there.

    Suppose it checks through on the flop and a flush draw gets added on the turn and you don't boat...now you can have 5 way, a small pot, lots of draws, hard to build a pot and lots of scary rivers.

    Bet .06 on the flop and strong on the turn. Don't worry about scaring people away, they have hands/draws or they don't. Unless you flop top boat/four of kind, then you can wait and let people catch up.

    Always sit with a full stack. Bet flop, turn and river, and probably over bet all 3, seeing as this is Stars 2NL.

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    Deanglow - that was awesome, lol

    But seriously, never ever ever check that flop multiway. Sometimes you can maybe get tricky HU OOP with an aggro player, but this is not the spot to do it.

    Bet flop.

    Bet turn and if he raises you, 3bet him (he's not folding a King).

    Jam river.
