Hand: Dolly Parton - My Interpretation
I believe Cyndy was playing the role of dealer as she completed the sprint to the money with a near perfect hand except that I think she might have also hit the flop. There was plenty of activity at the table. The minimum bet was $0,50 and the maximum bet was $1,00. I was behind a player who had placed $2,50. I had the flush draw so I called.
8 Q 8 was the Flop
This was dangerous for me, as the board was unsuited. Simons was holding As-8h on Simons' board. If the Ace and King did not pair up, there was a chance of a straight and/or flush on my board. The hand became slightly favored to mine if the Ace or the King did pair up. http://www.quitthedoner.com/texas-hold-em-learn-to-play-and-win-the-right-way/ With the flop nearly turning up any potential monster hand would have been very dangerous for me.
http://granxamaruxa.com/all-about-six-in-one-sports-betting/ The board's 8 didn't help. Three other players raised. I was not helped by their expectation of an 8 on turn. This hand was not very hadiced. I probably should have bet Either that I had pocket Kings or Aces.
The Turn card was 8h. Even though I had a monster hand, my odds of winning were not good. I had a 35% chance to hit the bottom end with a straight. Considering I had seen 3 other either face cards or a low pair on the board, that means the flop was probably one of the following:
A-8h
K-8h
J-8h
Q-8h
In order to get any value out of the Q-8h I had to haul it around the board and that wasn't easy with an 8-hand. It wasn't that I had a lot outs to begin with. A 9-draw and T-9-come draws were both out cards for me.
Because I had no straight chance, the equity that I was getting was not very strong. If I hit Q-8h, it was only canceling out a slightly higher hand; 10-8 and 9-9. This was not even an opportunity filled straight.
Nonetheless, I didn’t actually have a hand, so i checked.
The SB placed $1,100 immediately.
This was Hawkins-type hands, where you must call to see the flip if you don’t hit anything. As he had already checked, there was no reason for me to believe he was wrong.
I figured I had about a 35% chance of hitting the Q-8h. Since I have always been a big bet on pushing out other hands, it was natural to wonder: "If the dude checks my hand, what difference does it make?"
He then showed Q-8h!
At this point, I knew he was pushing me in. Either way, the board was scary and I didn't want it. Q-8h was no better than my beginning hand. I figured I had to make a decision without more info than that.
I could still make some money by calling another $1100 bet on river. I thought that if the man had hit the Q-8h, then he would have placed a large bet on the river (which would have been quite funny).
I called.
The turn was at Q-8h.
I think I need to win a coin turn or take the rake. If I place a continuation wager and he hits the side, I'm ahead.
I bet $2,000.
He thinks for a second and then folds.
