how do yee play this MEGGA hand?
reet i need to start assessing how to play hands abit more so any advice feel free to post your thoughts. This is Karen33000 by the weay writing!Played a hand at the weekend and go all my chips in to win it in cash but still wondered if I could have played it differently.
Im small blind. The guy in first position raises, everyone else passes and I have 33 so I call. The big blind calls as well.
Flop..... ace diamonds, 7 diamonds, 3 spades
I check, big blind checks, and the raiser bets out.
Summary Now on this should i come out betting? You see if I bet and that raiser has a pair he passes and if the big blind called with an ace he might not b very confident about his kicker. When I call with a pocket pair Im looking to win a big pot if hit trips.
So the raiser bets. Now should i flat call or raise because of the diamonds??
I decide to min re raise him after he bets pot. What do you guys think of that? i did it ebcause I want it to look like a "see where I am bet rather than "Look I have a hand!".
He just flat calls me.
Turn is nothing..... 9 hearts
So I think.... right what should I do. I decide to check and try to make it look like i think my ace kicker aint good.
Thing is when I do this if he had diamond draw i let him draw free when i have put alot in if he checks. He also may check because he aint sure... which means I have missed a round of betting on a big hand. Would you lot check or come out betting? would you bet big? Also I have done before a weird bet that gets mixed results what do you think of this. On turn in other hands with trips I have bet eg 4 dollars into a 140 dollar pot because Im hoping he thinks im trying to curb the betting on my diamond draw so he over bets the pot.
He anyway bets pot again so I know he must like his hand now so I raise him back and he goes all in. When i raise there would you bother re rasing him? After all he still has enough cash to pass his hand.
Anyway Im all in as river card comes. Its no diamond and it doesnt pair teh baord. I win the hand and he mucks it but Im left thinking if I got lucky played it wrong but still got paid because the player was crap?

what i would of done there james is checked the flop to him. i then call his bet. turn looked safe so i would of checked again and depending on size of his bet i wud of then went over the top and raised all in provided i was happy losing amount in front of me. youre well in front of ace and if hes flushing its making it expensive for him to get it. all in all though im shit at cash games and rarely win !
similar hand with me at vital stage at grov on friday. drunk utg raises to 2800 on bb of 1400. all fold to me in bb with aa. i reraise another 12k which he calls. flop is 6d9d2c and i bet all in. he says ive had good nite so win or loose im not bothered and calls with adjd. fk i never win these and sure enuff the diamond hits on turn to give him flush and make him tournie megga chip leader. Thats life! best thing to do there is to shake his hand say nh wp and walk away with ya head up. FK THAT i called him a reet muppet and fkd off home in the huff leaving gyposdog to waste a full bottle of £3 carlsberg as he followed me out of casino.
I didn't read too much after the flop, it's a straight choice of either protecting your hand or milking more chips with a chance of them hitting.
Myself, well I'd try and take it down early. If they call then you must have the odds to win. Let's face it, it's about the odds at the end of the day.
