Yep. dat's pokah.

[Muxy]

I dont call this a bad beat either i just want to know if i should re-raise moreo n the flop or the turn.

[WildBobAA]

You played it almost perfectly. Maybe if you want to assure yourself the pot, push the turn but that will only lose you money in the long run.

[drmcboy]

I'd say make it 200, maybe 250 to go on the flop. HU I like your play, but with that many opps in it's worth the risk they all fold to make sure the draws make a mistake when they call. Especially since one opp has already bet, anyone with the flush draw is going to come along here. Plus if the original better has a made hand he may put you on the draw and push.

[jstrope]

with that corrdinated a flop and no pre-flop action w/4 limpers, my raise on the flop would be much bigger in an attempt to try and chase out the draws, hoping that someone here also hit a set, 2p or 99 as an overpair. that said, i'm more afraid of draws than most people.

i wouldn't say there's anything wrong with how you played it though. moron probably would have called an ai on the flop....

"Did i play this well."

Stop spamming and post whoring.

I would bet another 350 on the river and fold to a check/raise when I'm playing my A game.

[gabe]

i say you played it great. too many people try to slowplay sets on coordinated boards and get burned.

[dalecooper]

I would bet another 350 on the river and fold to a check/raise when I'm playing my A game.

^agreed. That's a very tough value bet to make on that river, but when I'm thinking clearly I'd make it. Even though the board looks bad, there's no reason to put him on a straight there, unless it's an incidental one (as this turned out to be). He may even fold the ass-end straight... probably not, though, since this guy is a donk.

One other point to ponder - even though it's a horrible overbet, you might just push the turn. You have two drawing callers on a board that is very troubling. Any heart, four, or nine puts you in a bad spot; and sevens aren't exactly making you jump for joy either. Your hand is strong, the turn card didn't help anybody, you might just get it over with. The bet you made is probably a little more profitable (because when you get a call-and-miss you make a tidy profit) but taking a smaller profit in exchange for a larger fold equity might be a worthwhile trade-off in an SnG.
