when you mention 2 bets pre, you meant raises so there was $96 in pot pre-flop?
if you raised flop, would you have lost low draws or were they sticky after they already put in a bet?
on the turn when you got the straight, if you raised would you still have 4 in hand?
I always think what is my dream card - for you it seems either 9 spades or 9 diamonds assuming your 9 in hand is neither
then you would win or share the entire pot
if any A through 6 low (no clubs or hearts), then win or share high and maybe all if low draws counterfeited
as mentioned previously, marginal starting hands frequently stay that way through the entire hand
too bad we do not know what others had to run equities on each street
Correct it was $24 to go pre.
To be fair it is a very loose and draw heavy game, which is why I even posted the thread due to the player pool and types.
Raising the flop to $24, does not get rid of any nutted backdoor low, does not get rid of any nutted backdoor flush, does not get rid of any front door flush, does not get rid of the top wrap/open ender. Flop raise MIGHT get bottom two to fold, or Top and bottom, in this game top two will see 5 cards almost every time.
The turn raise does less, bottom two may fold as well.
I also wish I would have taken notes of the hands to see what I was up against. Will try and keep track next time.
