Would you of bet this hand.

[Northern Hillbilly]

Small table 1/2 I was in till the end but I checked it down I had nothing caught a pair of 4's on the river I was BB only reason I stayed in . The guy in question was dealer, with 6 10 off Why he was in the hand I do not know. 5 or 6 people in the pot


Ok So dealer has 6 10 off Flop comes 699 everyone checks. turn is an A again it is checked all the way around. River is a 4 again checked all the way around . hands are shown and dealer wins 2 pair 99 and 66 with a kicker .

Now if you were dealer and in this would you have bet your 6's after all other players checking ?

I think I would of . Hell I almost bet my 4's on the river even though I was second to act . Only reason I didn't was I figured only way I would get a call Would be if I was beat.

Now if I was last to act with the 6 10 I think I would of been making small bets right along Figuring with all the checks before me I had best hand. Or I would get a re-raise and then I would just throw it away .

Your opinion did the dealer play his hand right or did he play it poorly He did win a $10 or $12 pot so it isn't like he didn't make some chips.

fold preflop

But no he shouldn't have bet his two pair on the turn or river, only hands looking him up would beat him. That hand won exactly what it should of, a small pot.

Well, you don't give enough of the details to determine a course of action. The way it's described, I'm guessing there are 2 or 3 limpers before the dealer, so he just limps with crap, figuring he might win by mistake as he's getting 5 to 1 (if the blinds don't raise him out) and he has position.

Were I the dealer, I'd probably throw a bet out there on the flop when it's checked around. The fact that I probably have the best hand is just a nice bonus. In this case, I got lucky enough to hit a pretty good piece of it, and I want to win it before something bad (like a turn which hits someone's overcards) comes in.

Then, if I get called, I can tread carefully if the turn is bad. If I win it right there, I'm pretty happy with that.

Of course, if you know the table well enough to know you're going to get called down anyway, I don't mind the dealer's approach to keep the pot small.

Constructive advice - give more detail. Telling vague tales of a hand then asking for a critique makes it really difficult for the readers to provide a meaningful response.

By the way, here is a useful nugget to echo what Felting said - don't bet a hand that only gets called by something better. That doesn't mean only bet with the nuts, it just means for example, don't bet a straight with an obvious flush out there because two pair isn't calling.

[Northern Hillbilly]

OFC you don't only bet wth the nuts. I was first to act maybe second . I rivered a pair of 4's with shitty kicker BOTTOM pair. If I bet it and no one had anything they would fold. If anyone had ANYTHING even a pair of 4's like me they would have me out kicked my hand was to weak to bet.


@the topic I wasn't asking for a critique so to speak wasn't my hand As far as more detail what would you like to know THAT wasn't in the OP Number of players in the hand size of the pot the cards flopped turned and rivered. What each player did. What more info is there to know ? Suits I guess would be a variable . As they weren't mentioned it would be safe to assume Suits didn't factor in this hand But even if they did if there a possible flush .


Really the main point was just to have a little discussion hence the title "would you bet this hand Figured a nice little thread with a nice little scenario would be a good thread for people to post in . Maybe bring a little life to this forum.

I already stated how I would of played it . Was curious to see how others would of played it

don't try to figure out why idiots play the crap they play...

maybe he was suited and everyone knows 2 suited is da nutz..

maybe the wind was blowing in a certain direction that morning...

etc...

i would have bet river... 1/2 pot bet just to try and take it down (obv folding to any raise)

you'd be suprised how often no one wants anything to do with their hand and you only need to take it down a small % of the time for this to be profitable...



quickly checking PT i see i'm winning 112 ptbb/100 by doing this...

[jimmer]

If you enter a hand with 6T, surely you are looking to win the pot on the flop?

In less you hit gold, of course.

Having said that, you don't know what he was thinking. There are 101 factors which could have caused him to play this way pf and another 101 there afters.

All i know is; I'm not moving from this table for a while.

.

I agree I figure he only limped in as there was already a few players in not a bad sized pot. getting 5-1 on his money .

I just think if it had been me with the position in my favor I would of played that hand a little different . Either way I don't think the player did to bad he won 10 or 12 $ 5 0r 6x his original bet .

[Ensano]

he may have won 6x bb but he'll only win it 1 in 15 times...


notice a problem with that?

I agree I would of never limped with that hand. All I am saying is with the checks and his hand after the flop being last to act I would of made a small bet .
