Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.7 by www.pokerstrategy.cc.
Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A♥, 4♥. UTG+1 posts a blind of $0.15. , MP2 posts a blind of $0.15.
UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls, MP2 checks, 3 folds, SB calls, BB checks.
Flop: (5.00 SB) A♠, 2♥, 2♦ (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero calls, 2 folds, BB calls.
I limp with A4s from middle position and hit the Ace on the flop. After UTG+1 bet into the 5 handed game, I was thinking whether I should raise or not. I didn't raise because in my opinion the only reasonable betting hand I beat here was A3. I probably should have raised and folded to a 3-bet?
Instead I just called because I wanted to see what the 2 players after me were going to do and I also had a backdoor flushdraw.
Turn: (4.00 BB) 8♥ (3 players)
BB bets, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.
On the turn I now have a flushdraw. But now the BB suddenly donkbets, which irritated me a lot. I thought he might have A8 and hit his twopair. UTG+1 still calls.
The only reason why I called here was because of my flushdraw, otherwise I would have folded. Too weak again?
River: (7.00 BB) 3♠ (3 players)
BB bets, UTG+1 calls, Hero folds.
I didn't hit my flush on the river, and after a bet and a call I decided there are not many hands left which I would still beat, as even A3 has twopair now. Therefore I decided to fold.
Final Pot: 9.00 BB
