What should I have done?
RWPKRPLR Didn't want to deviate from my previous PF bet size...I thought that would highlight my hand!! But still given the scenario what should I have done on the flop? Edit: And no I never want to be 4 handed with kings!!
masterplan Chances are you're ahead of 2/3 of them, but somebody more than likely made a set. You do only have 350 chips invested, you could just muck it if you want the safe play. I guess it also kind of matters if this is single table or MTT.
masterplan RWPKRPLR;291506 wrotemtt Yeah, I think it's a definite laydown there. One of those ones that hurt to do, but it's just not worth the risk in my opinion.
RWPKRPLR Well this is how it played out... ryan1111: folds Uncalled bet (224) returned to 2010Rocha *** TURN *** [8h 7s 3s] [Ks] *** RIVER *** [8h 7s 3s Ks] [6h] *** SHOW DOWN *** costin nebun: shows [Ts As] (a flush, Ace high) 2010Rocha: shows [5s 6c] (a pair of Sixes) costin nebun collected 1946 from side pot MrRobert75: shows [Kh 8c] (two pair, Kings and Eights) costin nebun collected 5519 from main pot MrRobert75 finished the tournament in 154th place *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 7465 Main pot 5519. Side pot 1946. | Rake 0 Board [8h 7s 3s Ks 6h] Seat 1: Sam'Silent'B (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: lilcrocop (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 3: MrRobert75 (big blind) showed [Kh 8c] and lost with two pair, Kings and Eights Seat 4: ryan1111 folded on the Flop Seat 5: costin nebun showed [Ts As] and won (7465) with a flush, Ace high Seat 6: 2010Rocha showed [5s 6c] and lost with a pair of Sixes
masterplan Yeah, it was obvious there was at least one spade draw, but technically you were ahead on the flop.
[deleted] really tho these are silly situations that usually only happen with a bunch of weak players. because of that you could argue call because you could be ahead a lot of the time and quading up or whatever will help you dominate the tourney if you are better than most of the players. but you could also say that you should fold too since players are bad and you don't need to take a marginal risk. folding here prob make sense and calling is obviously high variance. as for the raise size. raising bigger will help avoid this a little and help make the decision easier. as for keeping your raise sizes the same, you can change the size be position (bigger in earlier position smaller in steal spots) just make sure that you don't change the size based on your hand strength (we can do it against really bad players sometimes).
