The last call



Posted Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:46 am GMT by fiezk
A hand I played last night at Poker Room. Got A Spade Qd Diamond in mid position and desided to limp and see what the flop brings.

I have pretty good reads on most people at the table and the play is, to say the least, very loose. A key player in this pot is Beatingu99 who is eaven more loose the average.

Would you have made that call on the turn, knowing that there is a good chance that someone made their flush?

I think your problem stems from the fact that you didn't raise preflop. Instead of just wanting to see a flop with my big unsuited cards, I want to isolate myself against less opponents and have more of a chance of winning the hand.

The more people in the hand the less chance you have of winning.

It's difficult to answer because you just said this guy is very loose. Maniac? Loose Aggressive? Loose Passive?

That's just against one guy. What you have to remember is there is still two people left to act. When this amount of people have called that big flop raise then odds on one is going to have a flush. At this level I don't think anyone is going to lay down a lower flush in fear.

Although you may have the initial bettor beat, the two behind me combined will fear me the most. With all that said it I will fold the turn, unless these guys are calling with weird hands like ace high, top pair or something
