EDIT- Data is raw, hand converter was messing it up



Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, just so new to this, so much to learn lol

Wondering how you would have played this (I don't think I should have seen the flop in the first place, but other then that). Think I could have got much more money if I had've taken a while, then just called the turn bet?

Thank you!

I think you played it right. You took a nice pot down before having a river scare card hit. Nothing wrong with that.

The only other thing that you can do there is smooth call, but you probably wont get any more chips out of the guy if he misses his card on the river and you are fucked if he gets it.

The only thing I do differently here is small bet the flop and represent a pair of 9s or 3s. If someone has a K they will put more in the pot, but you probaby wouldnt have gotten as much as the 1200 probe on the turn.

The pre flop call is marginal. If you were first to act after the raise I'd be tempted to dump it, but with all those callers you're getting decent odds, and hopefully that means that they'll have hands they're willing to put more money into the pot should you hit (although this is play money, right, so who can tell WHAT people will do).

I'm not sure I like the check on the flop. Normally slowplaying a set isn't a bad idea, but here you've got two hearts on the board - I get itchy that I'm giving a flush draw a free chance to beat me.

On the turn, you've hit your money card. I'd just call, hoping he puts me on some kind of draw and bets into me again on the river.

What scare card are you worried about? The only think you're worried about is a K (if you put him on K9 or K3) or a 3 (if he has the case 3). Personally I call the turn hoping he's on a flush draw that hits on the river and I REALLY put a hurting on him.

Only other play I think is just call and hope he was on a heart draw, then lead out with a river bet that's maybe 1/4 the pot as long as it's not a K or 3 (something that's easy for him to call). With a full huse on the turn I'm really only fearing a K or 3 on the river and there's not many left in the deck especially if he's holding one.

That's only if you want to attempt a slowplay and run the risk of a possible K or 3 coming on the river. Otherwise I think you made a nice straight foward play.

Whoops, Gir got in his responses while I was typing mine.
