The call preflop is questionable being in MP. Flop is almost perflect flop with draws everywhere. It all came down to if you were willing to gamble...and you were...It paid off.

This is a good example of where thinking you have more outs than you do can get you in serious trouble, jd had the higher flush draw so you were a big dog here.

Hand 1: 36.5657 % [ 00.37 00.00 ] { Tc9c }
Hand 2: 63.4343 % [ 00.63 00.00 ] { Qc5c }

This is a true story. I'm not a paid actor. FTR does not guarantee any results. People can and do lose money when playing poker.

I wouldn't. I like playing middle suited connectors facing only a 2x big blind raise.

I'll take a stab at this one... not because I think I'm right, but because if my thinking is off, I want to hear other ways of looking at the situation so I can learn too.

You were dealt a marginal hand (group 5) and were in a marginal position facing a preflop raise. There were 6 people to act after you that may have been dealt much better hands, and may have raised again, leaving you with a decision to make.

Obviously I didn't think 10 high was the best hand. It's marginal in the same way that 4-4 is a marginal hand. The hands that make the most money in holdem are often not the ones that are statistically the best.

By the way, you do know you don't need the best hand at a showdown in order to win the pot, right?

Plus, I had position on the preflop raiser, which is what matters.

I know that you don't have to have the best hand to win the pot. However, to win the pot this way, your opponent has to believe that you have him beat. Raising in early position like A_Celestial did implies a pretty strong hand, and my concern would be wether or not you could have talked him off of that hand if you didn't hit your straight or flush.

My other thought is, if you had that same hand to play 1000 times in a row, would it be a profitable hand? I try to stick to hands that would be profitable more often than not. It seems like in this case the pot may have been small compared to what you payed into it and what your chances were of this hand paying off.

I'm not trying to be critical of your play. I'm just trying to see if my understanding of the game would allow me to correctly understand why you were advised to fold this one preflop.

Its a 3 bb raise and you'll probably only have position on the PFR and noone else. So if anyone calls behind, you're basically into flop a hand mode and these hands miss so frequently.

Yes, and it was 6 to call or 3bb. That's considered a 3bb raise.
