Hi,
I was in a very Low Limit Holdem last fight with some co-workers. At some point we were down to five hands. I remember for around four or five hands in a row, any kind of raise induced folds at the table.
Back then I had approximately $40 or $50 however I wanted to pull in more money. I was on the big blind. UTG was a maniac and was up to all chip swings. There was one player named Bill who showed pretty much potential. Another player was up and I won’t deny that he’s a good one however also a loose type who chased a lot of hands. On the better side, he gave justice to some good hands. Other side of the table was another player, a rookie and is tight type.
At certain point, I had A-4 off suit in the big blind. No pre-flop raiser came in into the scene and so I checked. Flop came and was A-7-4 rainbow. I then got a two pair. Turn card came but I forgot what it was, maybe something like a mid-value card. I then checked while Bill placed $1 bet. All of us then called. River came and was a King. I then placed a $2 bet while Bill raised it to $4. At such point I figured out I lost and so I just called. Pretty sure he had kings.
Now, how do you find my play? Am I right for slow playing with my hand? Later, Bill said that if I raised then right after the flop, he would have actually folded. Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Clint
Clint,
Your play was fine. Also, if you opponent would have folded his Kings in a low Limit Holdem game, it would have been a bad move. He had odds to call you down, even if he tought he was beat since there were so many players and so much money in the pot.
I would have check-raised the turn probably, but I would have slow played the flop.
