how to play this.
1/2 nl
the sb is a very very very loose player and calls and raises with anything in his hand. he is willing to chase down 2 runners on the turn and river to make his hand and will call the raise for them.
The BB was Semi tight all night. folded mostly but was getting frustrated that she was getting no cards in her hand for the past Hour. My read was that she was slowly going on tilt.
myself i played both lose and tight at the same time. i would call with connecters and rag cards which i would normally fold to give my opponents a read that i am generaly a lose player and am willing to play with anything. of i would not invest more the 3x the BB for these rags.
so here it is guys

I'm more a limit player but let me see, top pair and a draw to the nut flush, easy call in my opinion? But I'll guess that a Q or T came for the suckout or better yet a red 9 and a red K came giving her the str8?
HEY, what's crazy about that??
Newfies RULE!!!
'Crazy' as in 'Crazy' hold'em
Damn right! As for the hand I don't see what the problem is (other then the inevitable suckout).
Other than the fact the 10c is in a hand and on the board
With the min reraise I'm probably pushing all in given the read on your opponents.
Once the flop hits, you gotta call and take your lumps.
That's one crazy deck!
Seriously, was the Queen the club?
Assuming that, as Beanie said, the odds for you to call are pretty good for $30. I'm waiting for the suckout.
Remember, it's Newfie Holdem...anything's possible.
Also, in your original post you had yourself with the Ac making it a no brainer call but I see the post has been edited and now you do not have a draw to the nut flush but you still have odds????
I think the $10 is a little shy for these type of games, last one I played in, $15 was the min to get rid of anyone. When you got reraised, I think the $50 was too little, I would put a bet in a little over the size of the pot.. I think my calculations showed the pot-size to be $46 at that point, but if I want someone to have to call it, and they've already put in $20, I would have likely made it $70, forcing them to call another $50.
I think a $50 right off the bat is too much - you do want to get paid off with aces. Of course, all this is read dependant - if the BB is one of those "Dammit, I raised, so I'm Married" kinda guys, may as well push it all. If I feel I can make them think I'm just trying to steal, I raise more, if I know they'll fold, then a little less to entice... but I would have gone
(BB + SB + two limpers = $7)
Raise - $15
(sb call / BB raises to say 30, pot = $64)
Re-raise - (with my call of $15 more pot = 79 so) 90
This puts both the other players effectively all in. In face, I may just push them both all in at that point, and then the rest of your decisions are easy ones.

River 4d
my aces held up.
Lucky boy.
Nice hand.
