No player is considered weak, each has flaws but solid TAG players.

Button?

Why did you limp pre? Also, the preflop action doesn't make sense. Was this an UTG straddle, if so, what happened to the blinds (and their money?)

If the straddler was a passive/recreational player, I would be opening often. If he/she was a player I felt was good, I would be folding Q9 o/s pre.

As played, with this being a limped pot, hand ranges are still pretty wide at this point and I don't think a raise really accomplishes anything besides bloating the pot. A call is in order here.

My bad I wrote UTG but he was SB So I, on button was last to act pre.

Fold pre flop and saving money for better spots. Or with that flop after playing Q9 off and u have this strong draw you should see one more card i think. If you hit your straight draw at turn you will get some profit.

Was this your straddle on the button?

Fold pre, don't even consider raising because your opponents are short stacked (remember w/ straddle you are even more short effectively). Flop is wet as can be vs limpers, flat and try to spike, seriously not worth raising

I had the straddle "token" of $6. I was last to act preflop because of the "token". It was 1/5 pot to call.

Re write HH properly.

It is difficult to even understand who straddled, and what happened.


I think Q-9o is trash. Fold preflop. I am a nit though. Wait for better spots to enter pots.

Yes, please
So it's a Mississippi straddle?
Even then it says you called instead of checked. So idk whats going on.

I received this as a PM from OP:

I answered your question in the post, it was late I put UTG but he was SB,
So board is

My hand
Turn comes blank like a pot is $36, raise $12 from SB, CO calls, I call.


River SB bets pot of $72, CO shoves, It's a no brainer and I shove, SB calls theres over $450 in the pot. What do they have?

Say what?

I'm not just being a d*ck...

If you want good advice, put some effort into writing a clear, detailed HH/post. We can't possibly offer any reasonable thoughts if something as basic as player positions or preflop action is inaccurate.

Who the hell is the straddle? Hero has 60bb's? Jamming pre is fine.

AP I just call. I think we have like zero FE now. Folding OTT to any "big" bets when we miss.
