    So we're saying flatting a min-raise from UTG with AJs pre-flop with players behind is optimum? Or are you folding AJ to a min-raise at 4p/8p?

    As for post flop, the flop is smack in the middle of the ranges for those who have called a 3bet from behind the AJ: AK/AQ/AJ/KQ/KJ/TT/99 and so on. If you've flopped the nuts, have a redraw to the nuts AND think you'll get all the money in on the flop from hands such as those listed, why are you going to smooth and let cards which shut down business on the turn (such as top pair and a draw folding when fourth street is a heart...) arrive?

    Incorrect on every street? I don't think so. I think the way Bananadog played the hand is one of a couple of ways of playing it, no better or worse necessarily than your line, Harvey. What would your line be here, just out of interest? If you're going to label the play bad it would be in keeping with why we have The Poker Clinic to suggest how to improve, right?

    id raise slightly less on the flop but apart from that i think its totally fine. the UTG minraiser's stack size is perfect for him to backraise shove over the top, aslong as you were aware that there is a good chance of him doing this and you were going to re-isolate and get the money in preflop vs him then its fine

    bet sizing was incorrect on every street, 3betting to 40p, what does this acheive? nothing, make it around 56~ instead of min raising.


    flop raise is also bad, you have just bet £3.24 into a £2.44 pot, alarm bells at this point are already going off about what you are holding. its just a cooler that both players in the hand hit the flop in a big way and regardless of how badly you played it, you was going to get paid off.

    why overbet the flop when you flop the nuts, and have a re-draw to the bigger nuts? if villians want to bluff on this flop you have pretty much stopped them with your over bet on the flop. raise it to like £2~ instead of way over pot, so when they do have bluffs, they have the OPTION of shoving with ther air hands, when you overbet, pretty obvious you are never folding at this point.

    Can you give us your reads on A, B, C, D & E?
    You've obviously played them many times to be able to give such strong an opinion.

    This post obviously helped the thread.

    The OP got the maximum from multiple players - let's just assume that she had a better read than you did.

    its like I said, both flopped massive hands, the money was going in reardlgess of how they played it, esp with typical sky players who cant fold a fd when its obvious they are way behind.

    to maximise expectation for weaker hands and bluffs, OP should not overbet that flop.

    If I have AA and someone has KK flop comes AK2r, I open shove my stack, and villain calls, its such a awful play to open shove the nuts, villian is folding 95% of there range unless they have AK/KK/22, which just happens they did, does this make me a good player because i got there stack? no.

    on the comment on my first post, yeah i should of explained a bit more in depth, but this is the poker clinch were people post hands they need help on, if you want to brag go post it in the other sections. I mean I won $200 in like 1hr last night, dont see me posting every hand i played and graphs here do you.

    How many hands have you played against Sky players, harvie?
    Are you particularly experienced at the level that the OP was playing against?

    It's often good play to bet your hand against players who will pay to draw to a hand that you already have or to a worse draw. Poor players tend not to bet their strong hands for fear of scaring away weaker hands. By overbetting her hand the OP disguises her hand beautifully by making it look like she didn't want a caller.

    Against multiple players she maximised her chance of getting a call before they had missed their draws and decided that the odds were against them on the flop. The flop hit a huge number of hands and it was a good move to maximise the money in the pot.

    i think dave is right when people can't accpet when they are wrong. over betting into 2 people as a bluff is a bad play.

    op bet roughly around 1.5 the size of the pot, so for this to work as a bluff they need to fold 60%~ of the time or more, and this is agaisnt 2 players so this play will not be profitable ever.

    Also the whole idea of betting huge, to make our hand look like a bluff, does not work at 4/8p where the level of thinking is quite basic. to me merenovice it sees I have upset you for some reason, and know you just are some exerme wild plays to counteract everything I am saying.
