Bike 40 - Nice Hand Sir

Someone limps, someone raises, decent TAG asian woman coldcalls (this is a capped but not especially weak range), and I call 66 OTB. SB (elderly middle eastern man who is not very good and has a tiny bit of LAG in him) cold calls the SB and BB calls as well. 6 ways.

Flop Qc Qs 9c. Checked to me, I bet (?), SB calls, limper calls, everyone else folds.

Turn 8d. Checked to me, I check with the intention of giving up.

River 6h. SB leads, limper folds, I raise, SB 3bets, I call.

definitely checking back flop. I would call the river 3bet


What’s the word hand you would bet on the flop? 9x?

Worst hand I would bet for value yeah. I might bet some even worse junky hands as a bluff.

It’s just such a protected pot.


NH, I think I would likely play this the same on all streets.


Don't play this high. You have a FH OTR, don't go one more raise? He could have a Q or a straight.

Also I bet the flop OTB all day with a pair.


The flop seems close. I'd be more likely to bet if I had the 6c and the SB,BB and limper were passive and less likely to CR. On one hand it's good if you can limit the field a bit given all the bad cards that can come on the turn. The problem is there are so many bad cards that can come on the turn. I'd probably just check this back in a typical 40 game. There are just too many players here. You may be ahead but those chasing have a ton of outs against you. Also, it's going to be difficult to realize your equity even if you thin the field. If this was 3 or 4 handed I'd be more likely to bet. I'd check 88's though.

I suppose having the 6c isn't as important on the paired board.


I fold preflop but rest the same

Really? I feel like this is an easy call pre but I must be missing something.

i think you misread the hand or something


i think flop bet is good to get a cheap shot at a 2 outer in a big pot. take advantage of the field's tendency to slowplay.

I think flop bet is good because you might be ahead, and anyone folding (apart from 22-55) is good for you.
As played, 3 of the other 5 people folded. If neither of the other two were slowplaying, that'a big win.


WP, sorry you lost to 99. Seems like a good game.


Pre is whatever. Flop bet is close and I think it probably does not matter much whether you take a four-card flop or a free river. I'd only re-raise the river against someone who is truly clueless.


hey smitty you hardly ever post results but guessing on your title he showed up with something like qq or q6s?

99


I always seem to get there when I’m drawing dead lol.


Private joker called it the ******* card in a thread a while back. It’s the only card in the deck that makes you put in more money when you are losing


k/b seem like the only reasonable play. you would 3b a hand like this pre flop so you can k/b in this type of situation. And you somehow got in same situation when cc and you end still betting. something to think about part of reason why solver like to bet with lowest pp because it unblock people cc or open range w 76s,65s etc


NH, I play it the same on all streets. I don't understand how some are saying fold preflop. You are the 4th player in, with good chance of blinds coming along. Dream scenario for 66.
