i think i played this hand horrible. i shouldn´t have called 87s from utg and when the A fell i realized that i actually was drawing to a gutshot and not to an oesd (assuming villian held KQ)


any comments highly appreciated

At least he let you know you were beat on the river. When the A comes, you do have to realize your outs are cut to four possibly. That doesn't mean you have to be afraid of monsters under the bed, but get a cheap showdown if you hit the wrong end.

limping scs utg isn't horrible if you play goot postflop. I'm not at that level yet.

I don't think you played this too horribly, as long as you folded to the push. You might check to him on flop, but I bet my draws too. Turn bet is too small, though. If you bet it, beat 1/2 pot or more.

If you really want to open your game up, raise this PF. Just be careful postflop and don't do it all the time, just as a changeup.

call.
he chased a gutshot or else you are way ahead.

[cardsman1992]

do you think it's AJ or a pure bluff, miffed?

[XTR1000]

thanks for your replies.

i folded to his river push. adjusting to lags and floaters and opening my game up in EP is where im working on right now. i folded to his push, b/c i made tilty or bad calls like that far too often recently.

do you think showing more strength on turn and river would have changed the situation?

[cardsman1992]

It would have built the pot up and you would have had a harder time folding it, IMO.....

Seems like when I made these hero calls, it bites me, too....
