Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $0.05(BB) Poker Stars
SB ($3.95)
BB ($2.60)
Hero ($5.30)
BTN ($8.10)

Dealt to Hero 7♦ T♦

Hero raises to $0.15, BTN calls $0.15, SB calls $0.13, BB calls $0.10

FLOP ($0.60) J♦ 3♥ 5♦

SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.40, BTN folds, SB folds, BB folds

Hero shows 7♦ T♦

Hero wins $0.58

not much info on anyone, T7s seems decent enough to play 4-handed :)

Thing I wasn't sure on, is why I'm betting flop. Maybe I shouldn't be cbetting. Can anyone help?

The 3 reasons to bet according to balugawhale;
1) Value
2) Bluff
3) capitalisation of dead money.

As you were the initial raiser, even though I don't really agree with your preflop raise, I agree with the contibet as you did hit the flush draw and had 9 outs to hit it.

The thing I don't agree with is your cbet amount, when the pot was only $0.60, betting 2/3 of the pot on a flush draw isn't the best play in my opinion - but I think your stack could've sustained the losses.

Just my input!

Hello DaPhunk,

If we are opening such hands then not much to comment, we should also be CBetting such boards and gain fold equity and might even secure a free card for ourselves on the turn by being able to Check behind.

Best Regards.

Thanks, that clears things up a bit. I havn't really played 3 or 4 handed so much, just SH and HU so making some intuitive guesses on opening ranges :)
