Live 1-2 PLHE hand

NickyOD

On a very very loose passive Pot Limit table which is ten handed my strategy is to see a lot of cheap flops with almost any co-ordinated hand and only raise preflop when I have position. 7 of the other players at the table are very very bad

I limp UTG with 8sTs. 8 players see a cheap flop which is 6h-7h-9d. Whats my plan for the entire hand? Any bet on the flop will almost certainly be called in more than one spot. I am sitting with about €360 and 3 bad players in the hand have me covered.

it your playing at the gold club so youre probably up against set at least and with the standard of play maybe a nut flush draw. I always seem to get outdrawn in these situations down there but flopping the nuts is hard to throw down.

I am up against a series of random hands. There is no certainty that if I check someone will bet but I can be certain that if I lead the flop I will be called by more than 1 player.

I lead the flop for 10 and was called by 4 players. Who knows what they have. Could be any random rubbish. The turn was the Ace of diamonds.

Pot it?

8 players in the pot??? :eek:

someone must have hit something. the only scare cards for you are hearts, an 8 or pair the board!. I think u should try and get as much cash as you can in on the flop. If this means check raising to manipulate the size of the pot, then so be it. Either way, you're getting called by a flush draw and/or set/2 pair so make it as expensive as possible. An ideal scenario would be to bet the pot and get raised after a few callers giving you the option to re-raise. But you'll only get raised by top two or a set, and a lot of drawing hands will want to see a turn. A check raise might be in order.. All depends on how the table has been playing. If it's ultra ultra loose then pot it expecting to get raises. If it's only semi loose then go for the check raise.

At least a set??? The 4 callers probally had a underpair, a gutshot, overcards and a backdoor flush draw. I'm being serious.

I like a check/raise pot on the flop, and pot a blank turn, and pot the river too.

In the absence of scare cards I pot every street. Check-raising the pot on the flop is good if you think someone will bet.

Thats a great turn card, could be giving people a pair of aces or two pair and the nuts haven't changed. Pot the fúck out of it.

If as you say a bet is going to get a couple of callers why not lead for Pot ? instead of the 10 you lead on the flop

Now you have hit an excellent turn card pot again
If players are as bad as you say two pair probably raises you here

I thought an underbet might invite a raise. I prefer that to check raising flops as I can either get more of my money in or still keep the pot relatively small since although I floppped the stone cold goolies there are a lot of bad cards that can land on the turn. any 8, heart or the board pairing would be horrible.

On the turn its likely the Ace has helped someone so I thought this was a much better spot to check raise. Last player to act bet 50, I raised to 200. He called. A brick hit the river (not that it mattered) and the rest of my money went in. He called with what was probably Aces-up.
