    And why might also be useful.  Ta.

    I would personally just fold preflop, other aggro monkeys will say it's fine but not for me lol

    As played I probably check back turn after they check to you after betting flop. Then call off smallish river bet.

    i prob prefer re-raise on flop as you have weak kicker and its a draw heavy board so take a stab at winning pot now and make any draws pay to get there

    i dont know these players, but a lot of people play made draws weakly so you cant assume they dont have flushes or straights simply by them checking - would need reads for how they play made hands - there are also a LOT of draws there now even if no hands already made so i think it unlikely you will win hand with bet here


    i'd probably look to get to showdown cheapy so check and call small river bets if river is a brick, but would fold to a big bet or shove (unless hit another K or 8 on river) especially if villain only needs one card to a straight or flush


    only issue is, im not familiar with this level, if people are calling with nothing, you maybe should be betting for value, but i think more often than not, there are made hands or strong draws against you

    edit -- /> agree with dudeskin, don't like the raise pre - you could limp here looking for the flush or fold

    I bet the turn because I have 2 pairs, and there are lots of worse hands that can call me, KQ, KJ, KT, K7, Kx with any club, 78, 79, 68, 8T, wierdly played AK and bare high clubs etc, whatever.


    2.50 bet, call shorty raise, fold if ernest shoves, unless he overvalues hands, or bluffs alot, even then it still might be a fold coz a crai from him here wud almost always be a flush.

    bet bigger on flop, bet/fold turn (unless shorty shoves)

    still a ton of value to be had from worse 2p, tp that cant let go and a bare club who likes a fishing trip

    OK, so this is what happened.  I won't show what the others had as I forgot to edit their names out earlier.  I think I did the right thing.

    Of course you can show their cards, you haven't given reads (coz you haven't got any), nor have you slated their play.

    Played v well.

    I properley slated a guy on here once, forgetting to edit his name out.  Now I'm extra careful.
