Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

MP2 ($4.26)
MP3 ($31.72)
CO ($9.26)
Hero ($25)
SB ($19.25)
BB ($29.33)
UTG ($35.20)
UTG+1 ($12.91)
MP1 ($23.25)

Villain is Loose-Passive/Passive.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, K. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.25, 1 fold, CO calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

With limpers I call on the button with K7s.Normally I'd dump this in EP and MP.

Flop: ($1.50) K, 5, T (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Hero bets $1.25, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls $1.25, MP2 folds, CO calls $1.25.

Checks around so I bet out my King.Two calls so we go to the turn.

Turn: ($5.25) 2 (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, CO checks, Hero bets $4.5, UTG+1 folds, CO calls $4.50.

Checks back around so I lead out again;villains could both be on flush/straight draws so why back down now.

River: ($14.25) 3 (2 players)
CO calls $3.26 (All-In), Hero calls $3.26.

Either I'm way ahead or way behind but I don't see how anyone can fold this on the river for 3.26 more with $14.25 in the pot before villain's push.

Final Pot: $20.77

Thoughts and feedback welcome on all streets.

PF is fine.

On the flop in a 6 way pot I really dont like betting this, there are a bunch of draws and against passive opponents [which there are tons of at these stakes] you will often get check-called by a better K, and the draws most likely arent going anywhere. Id check behind.

Turn I would check behind, I dont think you are going to get much more value from hands you are ahead of, and if they stick around with a nearly PSB you are most likely behind. With the river I dont really think you can fold, but you are not going to be ahead much at all.


As played I now think you should have folded preflop, you dont play Axs or Kxs for TP, you play it for flush and maybe two pair value. If you get stuck in hands like this then limping these hands in LP is not going to be profitable.
