    Default An example of loose aggression shorthanded

    There have been a few threads on here recently about how to play strong hands when there are possible monsters lurking. This hand just happened a few minutes ago, and I thought it was a good example of how a cap doesn't always mean anything near the nuts.



    Paradise Poker 1/2 Hold'em (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 2, K.
    UTG raises, 2 folds, Hero calls.

    Flop: (4.50 SB) 2, A, 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets, UTG calls.

    Turn: (3.25 BB) 7 (2 players)
    Hero bets, UTG calls.

    River: (5.25 BB) T (2 players)
    Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG caps, Hero calls.

    Final Pot: 13.25 BB

    Results in white below:
    Hero has 2s Ks (flush, ace high).
    UTG has Tc Td (three of a kind, tens).
    Outcome: Hero wins 13.25 BB.


    The point here is that UTG capped the river with a set when there is both a flush and straight possible. I would have played a straight or baby flush the same way.

    bleh, K2 flops pretty badly. Too results oriented of a post. Also the game pace is so fast 4 handed theres no reason to constantly gamble in these spots.

    Not respecting EP raises is probably one of people's most common leaks.
    take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

    It's 4-handed and he holds a suited king in the BB. I think folding here would be a leak...

    4 handed, what do you call out of the BB with? esp when raising positions out of blinds are either "EP or LP."
