Throw them away?

Hello all, i'm a total newbie to this poker forum on here and really only looking to learn from you guys as any thread I have read there seems to great logic behind your decisions.

I'm a 19 year old student so basicially my bankroll is tiny. Mainly just lodged €10 into my befair account. I have had a few small wins between cash games and tournements both STT and MTT but anything I win generally gets withdrawn straight away to help my social life.;) Biggest win would be playing some guy heads up on Betfair and taking €100 off him. Play live but only in hightest would be a €30 buy-in MTT in Galway.

Sorry for boring ye but I bloody hate Betfair. Anyway situation is my in BB with pocket aces(spade and a heart) on a 6 table STT for a whooping $2.50+.50 buy-in. Second level of blinds one player already gone. Impossible to judge so far what players do in certain situations. Seeing a guy call flopped trips K's to get busted by a runner-runner straight. 4 limpers(flat called) and the table is very loose so trying to get a couple of the guys out raise 5 times the blind(normally wouldn't do this, if the table was tight and had less callers would have probably doubled or tripled the blinds. SB folds, button and UTG call.

Flop comes:
4d 6d 10d.

Me to act first, whats my play? Sorry lads for bothering ye with such newbie problems, just trying to improve my game.

bet and prob fold to a raise. sounds like bad advice but you have to at least take some sort of stab at the pot you may well have the best hand if he flat calls. then check the turn and obv fold if a diamond comes. ABC is yer only man in 2.50 games

ormally wouldn't do this, if the table was tight and had less callers would have probably doubled or tripled the blinds

this is really flawed thinking

I would make it 8x to go preflop here

Ok mate. Bear in mind i'm still learning alot. 8x the blind because the players are so loose or for what reason?

valor

with so many limpers 2 or 3 times the blinds will never get folds so you'll have to play a raised pot oop with 5 opponents

players at this level suck really badly and with 8 [not necessarily 8 but you get the idea] times you are likely to get it heads up or at most 2 opponents


as for the actual hand, I would lead and see what happens

Bet close to the pot and if someone pushes all in call. If he floped a flush nothing much you can do. If he calls push a non spade turn*.

*drinking hoegarden grand cru atm so this may not be sound advice.

No it's sound. I made a bet off 400 about a third of my chips, got a raise and a re-raise. They both flopped flushes, one Queen high(Q5) other King high(K2). I threw it away. That sort of **** is the whole time happening on Betfair.

At this level on betfair, 2 sooooted cards are the nuts to many players pre flop. You have to be wary of it but punish them by not giving the pot odds to call their flush draws. That'll learn 'em..or then again, maybe not. :rolleyes:
