Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with [10s] [As]
UTG folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, SB folds, BB caps, Hero calls, Button calls.

Flop: [8c] [4s] [3c] (12.4SB, 3 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, Button folds.

I'm too loose on the flop. In an attempt to rectify this, I'm trying self-humiliation by posting really, really awful flop peels. This one was today's worst.

What does the CO in Hero is CO mean?

(sorry, tried to figure it out)

is it bad because you are probably only drawing to runner spades & a 10 since AK could be betting? and even the 10 isnt safe bc he could be betting JJ+?

I was gonna say that you're only drawing to your aces and backdoor flush because villain most probably has a big pair, JJ+, but didn't think about your ace not being clean either if villain's just C-betting with AK.

Good post jooooose

Is it really a good call pre-flop with AT when it's been 3-bet and capped?

I dont think the flop peel is that bad, considering your ace is probably good + backdoor flush, it can't be too bad EV wise

The preflop call - calling $10 in a $50 pot - isn't great, but it's probably +EV. It would have been an insta-fold if I wasn't suited.

The problem with the flop peel is, as you say, that I risk being up against two hands that effectively make me drawing dead, barring my backdoor flush draw. But, and this is the key, the really big problem is the fact that I'm not closing the action. I'm peeling the rag flop with a guy who 3-bet preflop still to act behind me.

</H4>mispelled

</H4>I my be wrong but i think that is wrong, i dont think it has to be a bet and a raise. Also see cold card

Thanks!

I meant "bet or a raise" but I'll fix that now. :)
