    Default O8b Big Pot Hand #1

    Well, I was on an active table for a while today, so I tried to take advantage of it.


    ** Dealing down cards **
    Dealt to beavis_68 in the SB [ ]
    Three limps to me, I and raise. Four players call, one limper 3-bets, and I cap it.
    ** Dealing Flop ** [ ] Nut flush draw, nut low runner-runner, and 4 opponents -I figure i have good pot equity.
    I bet, 3 callers, the guy who 3-bet raised, I raise, one fold 3 callers.
    ** Dealing Turn ** [ ] Perfect!
    I bet and get two callers, the pot is at 20BB.
    ** Dealing River ** [ ] Fk me!
    I stupidly bet, and get raised - should have check called.
    East_Side333 shows [ Ac, Ks, 9s, 9h ] a full house, Nines full of fives.
    beavis_68 doesn't show [ 8h, 3h, 2d, Ad ] a flush, ace high.
    East_Side333 wins $22.5 from the main pot with a full house, Nines full of fives.
    There was no qualifying low hand.

    Any advice?

    dont bet inot a paired board with only a flush.

    I think you had equity as you stated, but as you said, the river bet was stupid.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    the flop is decent

    I bet, 3 callers, the guy who 3-bet raised, I raise, one fold 3 callers.
    definite bet out but I'm only calling the raise. the raise is from a set or top 2 with a draw of some kind. losing players is a bad idea since if the raise can outdraw you just let bottom 2 and small draws stay in.

    you also have only 8 outs on the turn here to go with your runner runner low.

    the turn is the perfect card

    I bet, 3 callers, the guy who 3-bet raised, I raise, one fold 3 callers.
    can't find anything wrong with this

    the river fucks you and you know what you should have done, I'll leave it at that

    really the only thing wrong I can see, other than the river brain cramp, is the flop reraise, but this is a marginal mistake at the most.
