poker_jason:
I started on the same table as Suzanne, pleasure meeting you. I must say that you missed the flop st least 3/4 times when you had bigs aces that would have been good to hit.

We had a very good starting table, with lots of callers and re-raisers. Would have been nice if we"d got the hands and hit the flops. The cards were indeed

I don"t remember the hand but the KK had is a fold - 2 pairs, sets and st8"s are all probable. I think you saved money - unless they put you on somethting like AK, but I don"t think this was case given how you described the betting.

UL and WP.

You went futher than me... :-)

Maybe check back turn and go for value/bluff catch on the river if you were bet folding the turn?

MintTrav:
I don"t think you should call, Suzanne. As played, he has c/c the flop and c/r the turn. Remember it was a 5-way flop, so more likely your monster pair will be outdrawn. And he was happy to go to the flop 5-way oop, so it"s hard to put him on that over-pair that you are beating. If you call, he will have caused himself to go to the river oop in a huge pot. It doesn"t look good for you.

I think there is more to this hand than that, though. What would you want him to do when you make those bets of 550 and, say, 1200 - call or fold? Second to act out of five with one big pair on a nothing flop that has hardly any draws, you are either way ahead or way behind and likely to stay whichever way it is. There are a few ways that someone could overtake you on the turn or river, but not many. This isn"t the time for big bets. Betting half the pot or less on the flop might keep weaker hands in, and cost you less if you are behind. On the turn, we then have the same scenario, but with a less-inflated pot, so if we bet or call, it will be for a smaller amount. A 1200 bet here would be too big imo (as played on the flop). Your 750 is much better (possibly with a check behind on the river), or you could check behind on the turn and value-bet the river or call if he bets it. If you are winning I can"t see you getting 3 streets of value here.

UL Suzanne, better luck next time. Terrible call by utg at home time.

I thought so too but tbf he read me right, it was the last hand of the night and picking up that pot would have made me feel much better about going back to Day 2 with more than 9 bbs, just unlucky I missed...did sweat a bit though with an open ender by the turn :)
