NLHE

KK: pb with one limper, the blinds and the limper all call. Flop is jack high, all diamonds, and I have Kd. It checks to me and a bet takes it down.

I mine with 66 on a five-way raised flop and miss.

(55) Ouch, I flop a set and let hearts get there when I check the turn. My book on koolclyde says he's aggressive, and he bets a lot in position in the face of weaknesss. He didn't, here, and gets a cheap draw to the heart flush. Too bad it wasn't a board-pairing heart. Ack Ack gets the donkeytag with his play, here.

Very next hand I pot it UTG with AQd, get a bazillian callers, miss the ten-high rainbow flop and raise the white flag with the check-fold.

Bad read. This guy is in every frickin' pot, never goes away easily, and bets weakness. Really thought I was good.

(AJo) Next hand. The donk I identified earlier prices himself in and misses to get me a double up away from sugar.

Having not raised in a while, I raise in LP with 53s to a couple limpers. Button minraises me back, tabel folds, and I feel compelled to call. Flop is two spades and a five, for pair and flush draw. I pb it and take it down.

(AJs) Bah. TT vs. set. Now out of double-up-to-sugar range.

+$5

AA picks up a smallish pot with a flop bet. Oh well, time for bed.

$15 --> $10.41

If you are going to re-raise the Flop with your set of Fives, don't you want to just take down the pot you've built up? Especially with a drawish board out there? If you are going to let koolclyde try to steal then I think the line of flat calling the Flop and Turn would be the way. Once you raise the Flop I think that is telling him that you have a hand. Ack Ack's hand selection is terrible.

What were your hole cards for "bad read" hand?

That's a reasonable point. It was just the line I took with this guy based on the hands we'd been in so far. At least three times, he had floated my flop bets, and then bet into me when I checked the turn. I took the chance he would do it again despite my flop raise, knowing that it was essentially a seven-out situation, potentially if the two villains were both on hearts without a pair.

I had AK on the "bad read" hand.

"...potentially five outs..."

Understood. And right, probably 7 at MOST with 7h and Qh almost certainly no good.
