Another Limit hand (FD on flop, OESD & FD on turn)



Posted Thu Jul 06, 2006 6:12 pm GMT by Cricket_Fire
I know I'm posting alot of these, just need alot of help haha.

Ok, so, here are my questions:

1) Call preflop? I think I had to call after the raise, but was the limp ok?

2) On the turn, when I picked up the additional straight draw outs, do I raise, or just try and hit my draw as cheap as possible? Is this one of those "mix it up" situations, using a mix of both?

3) I should've raised on the river shouldn't I? I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea why I didn't. Looking back, the only hands I'm beaten by are JT and T6, but would anyone play those hands like that?

Fold pre.

I would have folded this preflop for sure.

flop: jam

If the table has been real passive with not a lot of raising preflop, I don't mind the preflop call. Jam the flop. It probably gives you a free card on the turn...if you want it. The way you played it I don't raise the turn. I bet the river.
