    Just wondering did I play this right.

    Cash Game. Loose enough table, On the BB. Five players. Checked around to me, I have Ac 10c so raised twice BB. Two callers. Button and SB. Flop comes 3c js 8c. ( Nuts flush draw. ) Checked around, button first to act. Raises it about the pot, SB goes all in. From previous hands I put them both on top pair with a good kicker. I have enough chips just to go all in. Turns out Both had jk off ( no clubs ). Turn and river come two low hearts. I loose......

    You were getting pretty good pot-odds to call for the nut flush here, especially if your read is right. Having said that you haven't much invested in the pot, so as it's probably a break-even call you may want to drop it to keep your variance down. meh.

    I wouldn't discount the possibilty that someone else has a flush draw here. these usually means fold.

    Are you the BB, or not? Preflop you are the BB, and postflop the SB bets, and the BB goes all-in and then the action is on you?

    Getting 2:1 with the nut flush draw = call
    You also have an Ace to go with it = more reason to call

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 F1SHST1X


    Button - €60
    SB - €75
    BB - €70

    These are all approx.

    And what size game is it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 F1SHST1X


    €50 each -5 players cash game. blinds rising a very small amount every hour.

    my first thought is that i should have raised a bit more preflop. But i'm sure I would have been called no matter how much i raised it.

    Is it a cash game or a tourney?
    What are the blinds?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 F1SHST1X


    At that stage blinds were about €1 and €2.

    So its a tournament then ??

    Blinds dont go up in a cash game.

    i think in that situation u should fold. it's a cash game do you want to bet your bankroll on chasing cards? I know you said you thought they were on two pair,but with two acting before you it's gonna get messy

    I actually said i put them on top pair with a good kicker. I think I had about 13 outs (including the other three aces) so I didn't think I was "chasing" as much as gambling! ;)

    Blinds only went up three times and the final time they were €2 and €4. It was only a four hour game so we just wanted to spice it up a bit. I see your point but it was really a cash game - you could buy back in at any stage and there was no "prize" for the winner. When it was time to wrap up. We just cashed in. ( albeit some of us cashed in for less than others :( ) If it was a tourney then I would have had no probs pushing especially as I had put them both on top pair. One out, one very low stacked and me trebled up - Firstville here I come.
