Snowball2: yes I also think that if he had a 9x he probably raise me in the flop, but with the check in the river I think my hand its good enough to make a value bet.
Daniel9861, yes, you are right, effective stacks are near to 100bbs for the EP limper. Check in the flop?, That means that resign in the turn or river if one of them bet, So the better option is not to raise preflop. Yes I think too this it’s a right move, but in this table I thing I can balance my OR in EP or MP with these type of hands that has a good expectation postflop.
DKBarrel. Thanks for your respond . Yes the table its 4/8 do. I just see that maybe it’s not the right place to put this pots, sorry about that
I OR with these hand, because the EP limper usually have set mined in his range, maybe a broadway, but rarely have monsters and if he have it, cause is a pasive player I can outplayed easily postflop, plus he plays usually fit or fold postflop. The two callers behind me, wasn't expected.
Flop. In board Ts9s9d I think that if I check most of the times I have to surrender the hand, cause my hand isn't that good enough to play against 3 villains, and I think my hand has a little value against villains range, my plan was bet flop, If one or maybe two call, check almost any turn and evaluate river. If one of them raise me on the flop, depends of who do that, I evaluate, for example the last prefop caller was a very aggressive played who plays a lot of pots (almost 90%) maybe if he raise me, its more likely that he has a draw (included monster draws), but if the passive player raise, it was an easy fold.So I decided to bet half the pot. I wasn't expected that the 3 of them called me. I think the only villain who could have a 9x and slowplayed me cause my range isn’t strong enough to call a raise, and no one will call him a raise, it’s the first caller, when the another two villains call, I put them in a draws, like flush, straight, and monsters draws who don’t want to play with stacks because the texture on the board, It’s unlike to put one of them in a 9x cause I think they would raise. With the three callers I decided to resigned my hand if not improved.
Turn, my hand improve a lot, only one combo bet me 99. So I decided to bet small a little less than 1/3 pot cause as you say no draws could call this, and expected a call for 9x, and maybe TT-JJ from the EP (who it’s the only one could have that, rarely but could cause it’s a tight passive player) cause I think it’s difficult for the villains to put me in Tx hand, I think most times my hand looks like a bluff or and overpair and with a smaller bet seem that I want to control the pot with a block bet. When the EP call me, I reevaluate his range to TT-JJ and 9x, and he start to seem too strong to me and I’ll start to think in 99.
River, the pot its 700do and the EP only have 600, when he check I discart 99 I think that his hand have a showdown value , and he doesn’t want to put more money into the pot for control, so the range I put them was TT-JJ, and maybe a 9x that slowplay in the flop, I think that with 99 he would bet on the river, so my hand it’s too strong against his range to check behind, so I decided to bet, the question it’s about how much. I think I prefer to look that I polarized with a overbet cause If I bet half or 40% of the pot my hand looks like a value bet, and my plan was not to look like that.
I know it’s a cooler, but I ask it’s the play I Thought was right and if not, help me, was the way to played the hand
