1/2 NL Hard Rock Tampa - Play Pocket 3's with me (1 Viewer)

[Anthony Martino]

One EP Limper, Hero limps in the Cutoff

Villain in the SB raises to $15

BB calls $15, limper calls $15, Hero calls $15

The raiser in the SB has around $300 and seems like a competent LAG who isn't afraid to mix it up. The BB also has around $300 and seems relatively LAG compared with the rest of the table, being more active in pots. Limper is nothing special, seems loose-passive and has $200. Hero has $425

Flop
Pot: $60

All three players check to Hero, Hero?

Bet $20. At casino 1/2 you're probably getting 2-3 calls: hearts, overpairs, overs, x even.

If a seven is out there, you'll hear about it soon enough, but even if not, most 1/2 players hate to fold until the turn, so get a few more chips in the middle now.

Yup have to build the pot while you have multiple players.

Overbet

Hero wants to make sure he gets called and wants his bet to look like a missed draw, but doesn't bother to calculate the total pot size (I'm SO not used to flopping full houses!) and only fires $30, SB calls while muttering about how his Aces are probably cracked AGAIN and flips over and Hero wins

I completely missed this thread and I wish I hadn't.

As played, I like the limp pre-flop with a small pair. There's no reason to make the pot bigger than necessary for when you completely whiff the flop.

However, I think the biggest lesson I've learned is not to miss value. I would've liked to have seen a bet of $30 post-flop. You're going to get called by A TON of hands in this spot, especially AA.

With Villain raising to $15 and getting calls from both BB and EP limper, I feel like there should have been quite a bit more money in this pot.

I also like a bet on the flop. In this type of spot I am hoping someone has a 7 and is going to re raise. If someone does have a 7 your definatley going to stack them. Even the aces will probably call you all 3 streets. If we did check the flop I think we have to put in a raise on the turn. Gotta try and build the pot when you flop a monster.

Curious why not raise from the cutoff pre? Looks like given the stacks you can set-mine here. Did you have a read that you might get popped and have to fold? In general I think you missed a lot of value on this hand. Checking behind on the flop was bad for reasons mentioned. $30 bet on the river was way undersized.

Also, I get you are eager for feedback, but posting the results of the hand so soon after initial Q is just kind of kneecapping the process.
