I think your play is okay, but since the draw contained a 9 and a spade, the decision is pretty thin. After playing the trips in the mid and the Q on top on the 2nd draw, you have 2 live Qs, 3 live As, and 3 live Ks to try to make an FL hand on top, and there are still 7 spades in the deck with 2 draws to come, giving you a 78% chance of making the flush. You could have played the spade low to complete the flush and the 9 in the mid to make 2 pair, and the FL outs for the top are almost the same (you only sacrifice the Q you played to the top on this draw). |

The decision is between the play you made and playing the A in the mid and the 9 in back (to make 1 pair). I think your play is by far best because not only have you got the top and mid parts of an FL hand made, but with two draws to come you have a straight-flush draw and six 2-pair outs, so some hand that beats AA is very likely to pan out. |

Do you agree with my decisions on the 2nd and 3rd draws? I didn't make fl but at least I didn't foul so I got the 4 royalties from the bottom flush. | |

3rd draw, Q on top for fl draw or on bottom to complete the flush? I went the aggressive route putting it on top but I'm not sure whether that is the right play or not. | |

i rarely (maybe never) place non-FL cards up top on the set. the 2 up top doesn't help you at all. pineapple ofc is all about getting to FL. i would have set it like this: | |

Agreed...I see a lot of people dumping rags up top early on. Save that top row for FL!! | |

I agree with the thoughts on mytch71's hand. I don't set the deuce in front there. | |

On this set do you leave the mid empty like me? | |

Baudib is right (IMO)...There's definitely a time/place to set a rag up top but it's usually very rare. In the example he states, the opp has killed two deuces already; thus rendering his 2c nearly useless. And since he has two suited connectors (nearly), they are a good bet for a bottom & middle flush and or straight. I've seen some people talk about "never" setting a non-FL card high, but there simply are no absolutes. Even an old squirrel gets a nut sometimes... | |

Tough call, Eric, setting KK up top. I hate playing catch up right off the start. Depending on my Tilt-Factor at the moment, I probably would have set the KK mid just to be conservative. Problem is, what to do with the Kd on 7th? Do you make trips above your pair? I wouldn't. So, after 7th, I'd have set the Ace high to improve win odds up top: A/KK4/JJ8. Then after 9th, I'd have: AQ/KK47/JJ8. Yeah, discarded an Ace but my top is strong with two potential FL hits. Then after 11th, I'd have had: AQ/KK477/JJ8J. This is a solid hand with a decent potential on bottom for a boat (no dead J or 8). And then the river brings joy: AQQ/KK477/JJ8J9. | |

Yeah, I would have gotten to fl on this particular hand whether the 8 was mid or bottom but I'm trying to decide which is best for the long run. | |

| |
On the first draw do you go for the 3-flush or the JJ on bottom? | |
08-13-2014 11:53 AM
#321
| |
As a rule, with only one dead heart shown, I generally stay with my flush after the first draw. | |

I was honestly totally confused on what to do with this. I decided to forego 55 with a dead 5 already and went for a gutshot. | |

ya i like it considering villain is showing a 98 and a gssd in position in pofc is like 75% to hit. if villain didn't have 98 sometimes i'd go with x 556 / 89. | |

I got to fl here but do you think I made the right choices on the initial set and the 4 draws? | |

I made fl but was I too aggressive putting the ace on top on the 3rd draw? | |

With a 4-flush going and only 3 of your outs dead, it's safe to bank on making the back. | |

Yeah, I need to do a better job of not gambling for a home run when I can scoop with less risk. | |

3rd draw here is similar to the last hand I posted about in this thread. | |

u set trips 2nd draw? | |

Don't think I woulda set trips with only a 3-flush after 1st draw. You had a 7-out shot at catching two-pair mid. I'd set the 9c up top. 3rd draw gave you the 4th flush and 99 top. Plenty of outs on both lines. But it wouldn't have come for me that way, oh well... | |

Crappy hand here. 2nd draw we get A, K, Q. How do you play it, 2 of them on top or ace mid and king on top? | |

Wow, congrats on getting super lucky! I wouldn't advise that set for points or money in the long run though. I've never seen anyone set QQQ on top like that. | |

On the 3rd draw do you go with AKJ on top or the more aggressive JJK route? I went with AKJ with our opponent showing AQ. | |
08-29-2014 12:14 PM

| |
Do you set KK on top with the 3rd draw and risk fouling which would take away 6 points of boat royalties? | |

So we have about a 29% chance of getting there and about a 71% chance of fouling and losing the 6 boat points, right? | |

I'm thinking this is a rough approximation: | |

On the 2nd draw do you set the boat on the bottom or the pair mid? I think the boat on the bottom is the better play but for some reason I just set the mid pair. | |

Check out this hand. I don't think too many people will argue with my 5 card set - it got me to fl. Getting kings mid with the ace kicker on the first draw was cool. | |

post #358 in the hand above - 3rd draw (cards 11 and 11) I was putting the 8 on bottom no matter what but I was thinking about putting the Q on top instead of the 4 mid. This would have worked since the 6 came on the last draw. I've had to make that type of choice before, what do you think? | |

considering dead cards i like how you played it. if my mid was fully live and had a few more outs i'm usually putting the Q up top there, but i can't fault you for taking the safe route here. you still have 4 outs for FL and can't foul, whereas putting the Q up top you only have 5 outs not to foul. | |
