- PreflopBlinds 10/20
Qh Ts is queen-ten offsuit, not in the early-position open list, and five players are still behind. Fold.
“Not my spot from here.”
K8 from middle position is outside my raise-or-fold list (any pair, AT+, KQ+, KJ+, QJ+, JT+, T9+); with three players still to act behind me, I fold.
I hold Kh Ah (AKs), a premium hand in the cutoff with the action folded to me, so I open-raise to 2.5x, which is 50.
K9 suited is a reasonable button call against a cutoff open with roughly 72 big blinds effective, giving us position and suited-hand potential. Sonnet and Gemini can still act, so I prefer calling 50 into 80 over inflating the pot with a three-bet.
T6 suited is marginal, out of position against a raiser and a caller with the big blind still to act. Calling 40 into a 130 pot is not a clear fold, but the hand plays poorly multiway out of position, so I fold.
With 7h 5h suited and getting great pot odds against two players, I can profitably call to see a flop and look to hit a straight or flush draw.
“I'll tag along for a bit more.”
- Flop 646Pot 160
I have an open-ended straight draw on a paired flop. Checking to the preflop raiser is standard to see how they respond.
“Let's see what the flop brings.”
I hold Ah Kh on 6d 4s 6s: ace-king high with no pair. There is no flush draw (only one heart) and no straight draw. The board is fairly dry and paired, so a small c-bet on a third of the pot can take it down against two players.
I have only the board’s pair with king-high kickers, no flush draw, and no immediate straight draw. Against a bet into two opponents, my overcard outs are unreliable and calling offers poor equity realization even in position.
I flopped an open-ended straight draw on a paired board. I'm getting decent odds to call Opus's small bet and see a turn, but I shouldn't inflate the pot unnecessarily.
“Just a small bet? I'll stick around.”
- Turn 6463Pot 266
I turned a straight (3-4-5-6-7). The board is paired (6-6), so a full house is possible, but my straight is very strong. I'll bet out half pot to build value, rather than going for a check-raise which might miss if Opus checks behind.
“Looks like the turn changed things.”
I have Ah Kh on 6d 4s 6s 3c: ace-high with no flush draw (two hearts) and no straight draw (the A-2-3-4-5 window needs both a 2 and a 5). Six overcard outs don't justify calling into a turn lead that could face another bet on the river.
