Live $4-8 game. I'm pretty drunk so my image is poor. CO is a solid player. Others are pretty fishy.

I straddle preflop to $8.
MP coldcalls $8, CO raises to $12, button cold calls $12, BB calls, I look down at and call, MP calls.

Flop:


I check, MP bets $4, CO raises to $8, button cold calls, BB folds, I cold call, MP calls.

Turn:


I check, MP checks, CO bets $8, button calls, I raise to $16, MP folds, CO calls, button calls.

River (3 players):



I ????????????

Critique all streets please.

There is a grumpy old man that used to post here who would berate NOOBS for playing hands like this. Since He's obv had a nervoud breakdwon or something let me take his place


I don't know much about straddles or why you did that, but if it was voluntary then I need to berate you.

The flop call I guess is pot odds, but I know I wouldn't be competeing this in the SB if I had it there, so why will I call here? Yeah the odds are nice butyou hold 2 5 offsuit. Let me repeat that....you hold 2 5 offsuit!

Flop: You catch a piece of it and ideally would like to see the turn, but I wouldn't want to be playing more than a bet here. When it's 2 back to you I think you are getting 7:1. I don't see your backdoor flush draw being worth anything, and I think you need to discount the as an out since it completes flush draw. I think this is no more than 4.5 outs?

I fold this on the flop. You didn't

Turn you hit the one out you really don't want to see. Now you are married to another street to see if you can boat up..........or maybe you are good already. I look to check/call here. I guess you are trying to protect your hand by raising (does QT fold on this turn facing 2?) I play it strt and call.

River I check call a single bet, fold if its two back to me.

What do you guys think of this river action:

I bet, CO calls, button folds.

CO turns over and I take the monster pot. Button bitches because he folded a medium flush he hit on the turn and didn't want to overcall on the river.

I love playing drunk 4-8. What a great hand!

On the river, I would have check-called a bet. Would hate to bet and see it get raised and re-raised.

Dear Growlers,

play white-man's stakes, plz.
