Live cash game hand

**FirePhil** · 11th December 2006, 09:38 AM

£1/£2 live cash game on Friday night. Lots of money on the table and playing as loose as most live cash games do.

Dealt 3

4

on the button, 3 limpers to me and I limp, SB completes and the BB checks.

Flop comes 9 3 4 rainbow and the BB leads out for £10, folded to the CO who makes it £30. BB has about £110 left and the CO has about £250, I cover both.

What's your play?

All in. The first guy has a 3 or a 4 or a straight draw, the second guy has a 9, probably A9 or K9.

Forgot to mention that it's pot limit.

And that the BB was Matt D.

I probably fold here.

This is a nice flop for us but BB could literally have anything and bottom two, whilst pretty, is still a vulnerable holding. I guess your experience with the other players in the pot will have some bearing on your action here, but what do they say about an unraised pot?

A push here is bananas IMO. Yes, we might be ahead, but we could well be drawing dead or extremely thin and we're really only getting called by hands better than ours. I'd wait for a better spot to get my money in.

I bet the pot. If you just call the raise you can be squeezed out by a re-raise which may be a non-hand because your call looks weak.

How much did you end up at the end of the night?

I'm pretty sure I was on the button so you were the BB and checked it, if you'd raised the pot I doubt I'd have called. Not 11% certain of the action pre-flop but post-flop is definately right. I left at about 3am just under £600 up, I was pretty knackered and they were playing xmas music that was starting to drive me mad. Very good game though, I think I'll probably end up down there at the weekends whenever I'm not too pissed.

Anyway, the rest of the hand:

I decided after a bit of thought to raise to £90, Matt pushed and the CO folded. I called, turn was a blank and the river was another 3. Matt had A9 and the CO said he folded A9.

Another great play by DiceMan. I got two of these right in a row now.

Hmm, I hate this spot and my play depends on how much i'm tilting

. I'd be happy to get it in here agaisnt the BB but less so against the CO.

I didn't like it too much either, but in the end thought fuck it. I was up quite a lot so was probably a bit more careless than I should have been. If the CO pushes I think I have to fold, but the possibility of a donkey limp with a big pair and the size of the pot probably means I call anyway.
