** Dealing Turn ** [ Th ]

What the hell is "Th"? Three of hearts? Why don't they use "3h"?

edit: 10... duh. I'm dumb.
 
That's not very uncommon. You don't play a lot online I take it?

Edit: oops, I didn't see all 3 sets, that is pretty crazy 🙂

What would be really crazy is if the lower set hit quads on the turn, and another one hit quads on the river. I saw that one at a home game, the place went wild! Only 2 sets on the flop though.
 
If you are getting that much action on your bottom or 2nd set at a $400 table, you have to think you might be up against it.
 
I can understand the pocket Js and the Qs calling raises and reraises pre-flop, but who's the fscking douchebag that stays in with pocket 4s. He deserved to lose and get killed for that, even worse, he goes all-in after two other people do in front of him... How could he not see a better set coming from at least one other player?!

Say what you will but he came out with three of a kind on the flop which is a decent hand, even though he ended up getting losing. If I get pocket anything I like to stay in until at least the flop.

Pocket 4s are nearly rags, I'll see the flop if it's not too expensive but I'll fold without thinking twice to any big pre-flop raises and especially any reraises. If you look at the way this hand was played, the pocket 4s played it horribly. This is my way of thinking through this.

1. Limp in with pocket 4s - fine, but be prepared to fold them to a show of strength because it probably means you are beaten

***pot-sized raise***
So you have to think that, the initial raiser has a very strong hand

***Someone calls***
The caller has a monster to call or the second player has a better than average pocket pair that's already made. Either way, your odds are looking awful in front of two players showing a lot of strength. You have to put them both to maybe AKs or AQs or AA, KK, QQ, maybe JJ but that's pushing it already. So basically making this call with 44 is already a bad decision, but let's continue.

***rainbow flop, initial raises 2/3 pot***
Probably AQs hit, maybe made trips, he wouldn't have made the initial raise with QJ for two pair so basically it's top pair, top kicker or trips. If this is a particularly aggressive player, he might have AK on a draw.

2. Call the raise: he can beat top pair, top kicker which is the likely hand that his opponent is holding, and assume that the other player was holding AA or KK, which you can also beat. Good spot for a re-raise, which is what I would have done had I made it here.

*** Initial Caller reraises ***
By process of elimination, and assuming this guy is neither a maniac, nor a dolt, he must be able to beat at least top pair and can probably beat pocket over cards. He has two players in already, so he has to be holding something solid, and he certainly doesn't have the pot odds to call with a draw. Again, you can't put him to QJ or anything with a 4 in it; he would have folded that preflop to the big raise. So this guy must have hit trips, if I were playing, I'd be 75% certain that he has a set.

Again, he should have folded right there after coming to this conclusion. Instead he re-raises all in and gets killed, just what he deserved.

The player with the set of Js is in a much more difficult position. I don't think I would have been able to get away from them if I were playing that.
 
I agree with raynor, after a flop raise, reraise allin, call by third player, you should be able to get away from bottom set.

its not like the flop was 2 suited making for somebody playing a possible straight flush draw like 89s or AKs.

gotta figure at least one guy with a higher set.

however, I disagree with raynor on the point of QJ. QJ is very possible here in this game.

but you make more the times you are the guy with QQ too.

theres 2 sides to the coin.

Yea sure but to come back from the loss the guy with JJ had could take weeks... even in no limit.

Would you make a pot-sized pre-flop raise in mid-position with QJ? I personally wouldn't put anyone to QJ after a big raise like that.

you might not make a raise like that but its very likely for somebody to call that raise in position.

I was thinking of gj7001 in this case.
 
The thing is when people hit sets like jacks or whatever they will be willing ot reraise all in or push others in. This is just your classic case of party poker being fishy, and losing to higher sets is just bad luck. I mean how do you now know that someone played AQ... some people can't lay down that hand and willl push with top pair top kicker

at this level, few people push AQ multiway on a fairly drawless flop.

JJ probably couldn't get away but 44 should have.

Actually after re-reading that, it was the BB that raised with a pot-sized bet into a bunch of limpers, that makes it a little better to see the flop with the 4s, though I personally wouldn't do it. You're an underdog to so many hands with 4s that I'd just as soon toss them away to any show of strength unless I was quite certain he was trying to steal.

you are playing for set value only. set over set is pretty damn rare so calling a preflop raise where remaining stack sizes warrant sufficient implied odds and going by the flop the set or quit route is fine.
