Sorry, I couldn't find a hand converter that worked. Leggopoker just gave me a blank screen.

I wouldn't normally play this so aggressively, but I had good reads on two players.

First, "Crow" is one who over-estimated his hand strength. He is likely to raise PF with just a medium pair. He'll call you down with top pair, etc.

Nest, "Punch" was often aggressive PF, but I found he would then fold on the turn in the face of aggression on the flop and turn.

The rest of the table seemed fairly tight, not wanting to play big pots PF.

So when Crow was the only caller PF, I figured a raise would knock everyone out behind me, except for maybe Punch. I wanted to play against these two.

Now when Crow re-raised, I thought about 4-betting to knock Punch out, figuring Crow probably had something like 9-9-6-3. But I decided to keep both of them in the hand, b/c they were such weak players.

Crituque away...

I'd say no to 4 betting this, you'll be folding the flop too often to make it profitable. 1 way hands like this can play well multiway, but typically better from a later position. I rarely even raise this EP.

As played is fine, except I'd ck/call the river. Basically nothing that you can beat calls here, only hands ahead. Give those behind an opportunity to bluff.

Thanks for the reply, Zophar. Yeah, I played this way diffferently than I normally would b/c of these other two players. Normally I wøuld just call PF, as I don't like playing hands w/ no low possiblity.

FWIW I agree with Zophar. It's not likely to fold out anyone, and you'll be dropping OTF or later without improvement. Better to see a flop and hope to make a big hand.
