5NL Flop bottom two...

MP2 is 14/4 over 28
CO I only had 6 hands with, so nothing there.

I call PF b/c i'm getting 3.7:1 and trying to flop a strong hand.
check-raise the flop after hitting bottom two pair. I really wanted to take it down on the flop, and I didn't pay enough attention to stacks b/c when CO goes all in I couldn't re raise. THe turn ...what a horrible card, now I think I should have check folded, ...sometimes I act too quick, i thought I could still get values out of over pairs from MP2 even if CO had me beat.

Anyway, flame away lol

he can't ship due to CO's under-raise.

+1 to fold pre

Aw fack. something seemed funny there.

fold pre

Fold pre, raise flop more. You give them 3:1 odds to call on a super-wet multiway flop. $1.65 does it.

never call oop when faced with decent pot odds and holding some kinda of mid-connector? I did it becuase i was already in for 5, otherwise I may call with those sorts of hands if there are 2 or more callers.

FWIW i was ahead of both on the Flop but MP2 had flush draw and OESD, 6s7s i think, other guy had TPGK

fold junk pre is a pretty good general rule
89o is junk, fold 74o here as well, maybe call 79s

yikes.

also c/f the turn.

Could someone break down why C/R >>>>> donking this flop for me?

I would, but I don't think it does. Think donking is better here for a couple of reasons.

1. We don't get PFR to c bet air here and he probably calls a lead with more hands than he bets (JJ TT etc)

2. I want the fish to put moneys in now with his 1 pair shit or draws instead of taking a free card that could kill our action or make someone the best hand.

Also a c/r looks pretty damn strong here, think you can get a lot of nitty guys to fold AQ type stuff, he never folds it to a lead. Leading's like way better.

i think it may be worth having a look into/adjusting your play from the blinds - completing in SB, defending vs raises from SB+BB, 3betting vs steals etc. there seems to be quite a good chance you will find some EV you can harvest there.

Yeah I think leading is better also. Usually when there's a fish in a multi-way where we have a hand there's a strong argument for leading flops -- especially wet ones

Fold preflop and raise way more on the flop.
