I need a hand with this one. I don t think I was betting enough now that I look back. Only the 17th hand of the tournament. There are 40 players live at a bar paying for a T-Shirt or Hat Me 6500 Stupid Fish I have only played one other hand so far and all folded to my 5x BB bet preflop. it was AA but I didn't show it. Caller 1 6200 Good player, willing to bluff, has shown the table so after a huge bet to buy the pot. Chases, he called a hand to the river chasing an inside straight flush draw. Has played 12 of the 17 hands so far and 3 of the missed was when he went to the washroom. Caller 2 6800 Not played a hand yet. Figure for tight player Blinds are 50/100 My Hand Ac Qd Utg Fold I raise to 500 Fold Fold Caller 1 Calls Fold Caller 2 in SB Calls BB Fold Pot 1600 Flop As Qh 7h I bet 1000 Caller 1 Raises to 2500 Caller 2 Calls I Call Pot 9100 Turn 4s I bet 2000 Caller 1 All in for 3200 Caller 2 debates for a couple minutes and calls I push all in. Caller 2 calls We turn them up Caller 1 Kh 9h Caller 2 Jh 8h Main Pot 18700 Side Pot 600 River 2h I go home. _______________________________________________________________ * New Release: RecPoker.com v2.2 - http://www.recpoker.com

You have about half your chips in the pot already, with what is almost certainly the best hand out at the moment. The board is drawish. Why not just move in right here? I certainly think that would be far superior to calling and letting two people draw against you. > Pot 9100 > > Turn 4s > > I bet 2000 This bet is baffling. You only have (by my count) about 3500 left. Why would you bet more than half your chips, when the amount of your bet isn't enough to rob anyone with a reasonable draw of adequate odds to hit? You're offering the first person 5.5 to 1 on their money. If you didn't push on the flop, now is certainly not the time to get cute. > Caller 1 All in for 3200 > Caller 2 debates for a couple minutes and calls > I push all in. > Caller 2 calls > We turn them up > Caller 1 Kh 9h > Caller 2 Jh 8h > > Main Pot 18700 > Side Pot 600 > > River 2h > > I go home. Well, you might have got the same result anyway if you pushed the flop or turn, but at least you could walk away knowing that you made your best effort to play correctly. ~ MysteriAce "Ashes and diamonds Foe and friend We were all equal in the end" ____________________________________________________________________ looking for a better newsgroup-reader? - www.recgroups.com

If either of them has a set, tough break, but there's not enough chips in play to really find out.

Option 1: Bet the pot after the flop. This shows you have a ace and hopefully push out any potential draws. But after reading your hand summary, sounds like at least one of the 2 callers would have pushed all-in anyway. Then you're left with a tough coin-flip decision. Either your opponent hit trips or is on a draw. Option 2: Check the flop and hope the other 2 callers check around wanting to see a free card. When the heart doesn't land on the turn, push all-in. This doesn't give them the correct pot odds to call and try to draw their flush.

Considering the prize - t-shirt or hat - they probably played a lot looser than normal. I'm not sure that I'd be going all-in on a flush draw, especially not having the nut flush (neither player having an Ah). So - having said that - if I were you (a player who flopped top two pair), I'd be happy to have all my chips in. With two hearts out, however, I'd go all-in after the flop, hopefully pricing out the possibility of any draw. At worst, you'd have to figure you'd be a coin flip going to the turn. But a player can afford to be a maniac when there's only a shirt (or hat) at stake. CHarrison100 wrote: > I need a hand with this one.

Had there been a hooded sweatshirt at stake I'd say push on the flop and end it. But for a T-shirt or hat you can afford to gamble a little.
