Great PARX 15-30. I have no idea how else to play the hand - I hated the turn checking through at the moment.

Everyone loves to limp and call in the game but the two villains:

Villain 1: Up a bunch of money from winning pots with aggression. Seems more competent than most others, but still limps in and coldcalls pre. Post flop he's been aggressive and showing down winners with both good and mediocre cards and no-shows.

Villain 2: The only real LAG I saw at all 3 games.


V1 limps from MP, 2 callers, villain 2 raises on the button, I call in the SB with 22, BB calls, everyone calls. 6 to the flop.

279 Rainbow.

Checks to the Button who bets. I call. V1 calls. 1 other call.

Turn Q, completing the rainbow

Checks around

River 4

I lead, V1 raises, everyone else folds, I raise.

start with:

donk the flop

or,

as played,

checkraise the flop

lead flop please

might as well c/c the river since it seems like you hate money

wow

Donk flop. Super dry flop so EVERYONE calls, even if they fear a raise from the button.

Though you'd normally want to cr a pf raiser, here it makes much more sense to bet and trap the field for ridiculous value.

There are days when I think that I suck at LHE, but then I read a post like this one.

What the elephant said: if you don't lead out on the flop and you are lucky enough to get a bet from the LAG on the button, raise.

I lead this flop all day every day. Not even close. Trap in a few hopeless callers with 2 overs or just a gutterball and if Villain raises the button, 3! Delicious.

OMG at the flop play.

Yup the games this good kids. Come to parx!

LEAD THE FLOP!!!

Damn. I play more no-limit than limit now and my default is to check the flop with these kinds of hands to the pre-flop aggressor. Didn't even occur to me to donk. Auto check. Auto suck.

interesting, I was always under impression that donking out flop is a much more widely used move at NL rather than at LHE

Trust me, it gets used a lot in LHE.

Once in a while, someone even uses it correctly.

in b4 lock

Let me guess: V1 had 44 for the set-over-set, which you let him catch cheaply with your incredibly passive play.
