Still new to the forum, so if there is a "glory corner" or something where this belongs...forgive me.




Paradise Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) from (Format: Bet The Pot)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with , . MP2 posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, MP2 (poster) calls, 2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG 3-bets, Hero caps, MP2 calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

I don't like this at all. Too much action for my queens. Any overs and I am in trouble. UTG may have KK or AA.

Flop: (24 SB) , , (6 players)
SB checks, BB bets, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, MP2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, (All-In) calls.

Good flop, but I now have to dodge a 4 in addition to an ace. UTG didn't cap, so I feel a little better that he doesn't have AA or KK.

Turn: (19.25 BB) (5 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, Button calls, SB calls, UTG calls.

Great card for me....even though someone may have picked up up a flush draw. Still need to dodge an Ace or a 4...probably need to avoid a K too. Someone has to have AK here right?


River: (23.25 BB) (5 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

Damn......scare card. There is now way I can bet here right? I am only getting called by someone holding a K.

Final Pot: 23.25 BB

OK, I gave it away when I asked if there was a "glory corner" on this site, but wait until you see what these Donks where holing. Where on earth did all the pre-flop action come from?

Results in white below:
SB has As 6h (high card, ace).
BB has 9d 5s (one pair, fives).
UTG has Ts 4s (high card, king).
Hero has Qc Qs (one pair, queens).
Button has Tc Td (one pair, tens).
Outcome: Hero wins 23.25 BB.

There isn't a Glory Corner forum, but that stuff and go in the Low Content and Bad Beat forum. It is considered low content if it isn't a strategy thread.

But, I suppose there could be some question about betting on the end there. I probably wouldn't but I do disagree with the statement that you would only get called by a hand with a K. With that many opponents left, I probably check. But I think it is pretty obvious some people in that hand had a pair and would have called.

I still bet this, There are lots of little pairs that call this, just to look you up. While yes, you will lose a % of the time, IMO it's still +EV to bet this.
