Flop: (4.50 SB) 9d, Js, Td (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, SB caps, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Turn: (8.75 BB) 6s (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, MP1 calls, SB calls.

River: (14.75 BB) Qc (3 players)

Final Pot: 16.75 BB

Results in white below:

I don't know, did I do the right thing?

I think this isn't a good play, you got too attached to your OESD.

Raising on the flop is viable, but I may well have merely called here.

DEFINITELY don't raise the turn, check/call is an option, but I may even let my hand go here.

And you should fold the river in my opinion, with 3 other players still in on that river someone was bound to have 2 pair/set/straight to beat you.

i agree with dwarf here, the bet on the flop is ok since youre hiding your OESD, but just call his raise IMO, on the turn you should have check/called and on the river its a clear fold, no way your queens are the best hand here, you basically thre away one bet there..

flop play is ok, turn is a call river a fold...

He's telling you with the cap flop he has a hand (although he could be capping a FD).
Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . .

Bet the flop
Call the turn and call the river

Your play was a bit loose, but it wasn't as wrong as people are saying.

Why was MP1 playing his cowboys so slow?
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Greedo017 is on a distinguished road
 i think people are coming down a little hard also, especially with the flush draw added in. He was good raising the flop with the good odds on hitting his draws. turn is a call not a raise, but it wasn't the worst move in the world you could argue for it. River i would call, just made top pair, 16BB pot and you're saying fold for another 1 BB? i think most of the time you're beat but you're gonna win it enough to make the odds check out.

My logic was that I had the outside straight draw and the flush draw after the flop so that I should fatten the pot as much as I could.

Also, once the river hit I had top pair with the Q's and I've noticed that can go a long way in the .50/1.00 limit games on PartyPoker.


I think that was my problem, my logic. I need to play to limit my losses.
