Just sanity-checking a hand from last night. This is my first hand post, so apologies if I screw it up.
$1/$2 NL live.
Preflop:
Hero is in the BB with about $45-$50, just about everyone has him covered. 5 limps, SB completes, hero has 9
9
, raises to $15, all 6 limpers call (!). Folks like to gamble in this room, so we could easily see all kinds of connectors and trash, although 6 calls is a bit unusual. Hero is new to the table, but has seen folds around to this kind of raise on multiple occasions, especially when raising to $20.
Flop: 4
6
8
Pot: about $85.
SB checks,
Hero: ???
This flop hits trash pretty hard. Are we shoving, c/c, or c/f? My play was a shove, because we're new to the table and have to c/c rather than c/f because we committed pre-flop and can't make solid reads in a field this big with donks, so we get some hands to fold by shoving rather than c/c, and we might be getting value from a field full of spades + 5s and 7s.
