Live shorthanded FL hand



Posted Fri Sep 01, 2006 12:38 pm GMT by tame_deuces
A hand from a weekly FL game, stakes about 0.5/1, but this game is definitively more about the glory of winning, its bloody serious! :D

Button is raising almost anything when it folds to her. Very aggressive both preflop and after the flop, and def has a problem laying down 'big' starter hands. Does not cap too liberally from the button.

My image is probably by now that I defend loosely in the BB and that I pull some weird stuff after the flop at times.

I'm in the BB with: 7 Heart 7 Diamond

Fold, Button raises, SB folds, I 3 bet, Button caps, I call.

Flop: 5 Diamond 6 Diamond 8 Club

I bet, button raises, I 3-bet, button caps, I call

Turn: J Heart *edit* This one was wrong. corrected now*
I bet, button calls

River: A Club
I check, button bets, I call (!?)



Thoughts on all streets are welcome. I'm esp unsure about river, feels like the only thing I'm beating is KQ.

I can't see any hand here that you beat.

Pot is too big to fold. Crying call, hope for a random K Diamond x Diamond or KQ or another 7. There are hands you can beat.
