Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
SB: $2.10 (105 bb)
BB: $2 (100 bb)
UTG: $1.86 (93 bb)
MP: $2 (100 bb)
CO: $5.42 (271 bb)
Hero (BTN): $2 (100 bb)
Preflop: Hero is BTN with 9♦: 8♦:
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.05, SB raises to $0.16, BB folds, Hero calls $0.11
Happy to open pre-flop and normally I would probably fold to SB 3-bet, but I am looking to add to my calling range and I decide to call as I am in position. Pre-flop okay? SB is 21/15 with 3B of 6.3 after 120 hands (50 on 3bet).
Flop: ($0.34) 6♦: T♠: 7♠: (2 players)
SB bets $0.20, Hero raises to $0.69, SB calls $0.49
I then flop the nut straight on the flop (right?) - there is a slight problem of being outdrawn with the flush draw though - when SB bets, I decided to protect my straight and re-raised him - was this the right move? - did playing aggressively mean he was more likely to give up on later straights?
Turn: ($1.72) 3♦: (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.15 and is all-in, SB folds
3d only really helped me as I now had straight and a flush draw to improve to - was shoving here okay? Was betting lower a better option - or checking behind? How do I maximising value on a hand like this?
