CARDSON

This is the biggest pot I have won yet at .50/1.00 limit. One guy flopped a full, then I turned the bigger full. As I was turning the bigger full, player C was turning a K high flush. We capped the turn and river. FUN!!!

Do any of you have a bigger .50/1.00 pot? I'd like to see it. This one was 29.25 BB. I won 19.75 BB on the hand.

30BB is a monster. I've heard of up to 40BB. Biggest I've won was at around 29BB.

As for the hand:
Raise pre-flop. 3-bet the flop.

3 bet the flop? Why would I do that? I was checking for the 6, thought I found it. Also two hearts on the flop. I don't like the 3 bet there. If I don't catch the 10 on the turn I probably throw the hand away.

Why would I raise preflop? Overcards are almost sure to fall. I only like this hand if I make a set usually, or if no overcards fall. Once the board was paired and two suited, my hand was not looking good.

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Here is the BIGGEST I've ever heard of and been a part of. So close to 40BB's. B

Lucky for me I'm the hero in this tale!

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q

, K

.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO raises, Button folds, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (14 SB) 9

, K

, 3

(7 players)
Hero bets, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 raises, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero 3-bets, UTG+1 folds, MP1 caps, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (15.50 BB) T

(4 players)
Hero bets, MP1 raises, MP2 folds, CO calls, Hero 3-bets, MP1 caps, CO calls, Hero calls.

River: (27.50 BB) A

(3 players)
Hero bets, MP1 raises, CO calls, Hero 3-bets, MP1 caps, CO calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 39.50 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has Qs Ks (flush, ace high).
MP1 has 7s Js (flush, ace high).
CO has Qh 6c (high card, ace).
Outcome: Hero wins 39.50 BB.

After reading the results, I followed the cutoff to 5 different tables that night.

BOOOOOOOOO!

A raise does lots of things for you:
o You might isolate the limper + BB. Your hand gains A LOT of equity with position and 2 or 3 way.
o You build a pot, so if you hit your set players will call down with hands nearly drawing dead to you.
o With a larger pot, your reverse implied odds are less of a problem if you flop an overpair in a multi-pot.
o It broadens the range of hands thinking players (or PokerTracker users) put you on when you do raise.

That being said, it's close.

God knows what the cold caller has without a read. You have a good hand here. It's not likely to get pretty on the turn, so 3-bet and see what happens.

also (as fnord said), if you raise preflop, you're less worried about someone holding a six.

OK, so I'm a chicken.

When I made the bet on the flop, I was going for information - I wanted to see if my T's were any good. I found out that I probably didn't have the best hand on the table, based on the raise and the call by the player that flopped the boat.

I was WAY behind on the flop, and was ready to throw the hand away after the turn, especially if the third heart fell.

I like getting my money in the pot when I feel like I'm ahead. I didn't feel like I was ahead on the flop. That simple.

It is likely that the plays you are talking about are beyond me at this point, or it may be a difference in style. According to Pokertracker, I am tight-passive. My preflop raise is at 2.34%. I feel like my post flop play is much stronger than my preflop play for sure.

Thanks for the input guys.

There are several problems with this approach

o You're failing to push pre-flop edges. In limit a missed edge can often can not be made up for on a later street.
o Calling down fishy raises with TPish hands has less value. You're not getting as good of pot odds to suck back out on a scrub 2 pair.
o Worse pot odds on (semi-)bluffs.
o You're likely bringing in big offsuit broadway hands in on a limp. In a multi-pot, they lose a lot of value and further gain value if you can buy out the button.
o Pre-flop aggression can get you free cards post-flop.
o By not establishing aggression early, you won't win more than your fair share without showdown. However, if they're not folding anyway, this is moot.
o Forcing the blinds to pay to play is a win/win for you when your hand wins more than its fair share.
o An alert player will muck AQ/JJ/TT/99/AKo??? to your raises

Limp, flop big and get called down only goes so far.

No, bet because you probably have the best hand. A passive player check/cc2 in that spot is more likely to be a strong draw.
