yeah its pretty terrible. your hand sucks both preflop and on the flop, then you hit the perfect turn and can't even be sure if they will bet or if you aren't behind TJ (which is completely reasonable for either player to have), but you probably gotta make a "fuck it" shove at that point i guess

I had to look twice to your hand indeed. However, the play is indeed -EV but congrats on the winnings!

Honestly, I can't believe you even called preflop. 62o is an instant muck to any raise. Then you call a bet on the flop with nothing, and some how catch a 7 on the turn. I mean, it's good that you won, but this whole hand is just gross.

Preflop even for that excellent price our hand is total trash. Plus we will be oop postflop. ..
Flop call is burning money.

Well, if the opponents play even worse than you, then you can play 100% of the hands, but save that for play on the button and don't play raised pots unless many players are in. Also, it requires that you play well yourself postflop - very well:D

I think you have been watching too much Jcarverpoker :coolface: - 'ALWAYS defend your big blind'. You are getting a greeeeat price to call pre, but with two napkins that doesnt even connect, on your hand, I would just fold. Flop we are again getting a great price to continue (have to call 0.57 to win 2.61). But what cards would we be happy to see on the turn? I dont believe getting a 2 or 6 would make us value bet. Only card that we would be happy about is a 7.
Therefore we have 4 outs. We are calling 22% of the pot, but only get around 9% on hitting a 7. Even if we actually gets the straight, we could still be beating (by JT). Just fold.

This is just horrible and does not have any merit.
The pot odds are 5 to 1. And against the UTG O/R-range and the calling ranges of the other villains Hero needs at least an equity of 16.50%. 62o does not give that equity.

I think almost every decision made by every player in this hand was pretty bad.

Dont listen to the trolls! You won so you obviously played it well.
They are just jealous of the big pot you shipped. Nice hand!

Fold pre-flop, fold flop

I don't know man, I would probably have played it about the same as UTG. C-bet's an overpair on the flop, turns an oesd, bets, call and a raise and a fold after gives him pot odds to call if I'm doing the math right.

Yup, pretty horrible. There is many callers pre and implied odds are good but this is never a call with 62o. Flop call is even more horrible.

Call on flop is donating money, hoping to hit 4 outs, and not drawing to nuts...

This isn't a live €1/€2 table, it's a forum where people come to improve their poker game. We're allowed to take a sledgehammer to the glass here.

I actually thought this was sarcasm.
