$5 NLHE 6-max: AT vs 93s

$0.05 NLHE 6-max: AT vs 93s

I'm curious how others would have played either or both hands. So, I'm not going to label the hero/villain.

2nd hand at the table, no reads on either player.

SB = .02 (9h3h, $4.95 stack)
BB = .05 (AcTs, $3.63 stack)

3 limpers to SB
SB calls .03
BB raise .05 to .10
SB and 1 other call: Pot: .045

Flop: Th 3s 5h

SB checks, BB bets .40, 3rd player folds, SB calls: Pot: $1.25

Turn: 9d

SB checks, BB bets .95, SB calls: Pot: $3.15

River: As

What would you do as the SB? BB? How would you have played either hand differently pre-river?

Thanks!

Both played it terrible. Pre, SB should just fold. BB should raise to about .40.

SB should once again fold on flop, BB bet a little too large but it is fine.

Turn bet by BB is fine and here we go, SB should raise turn.

River, SB should lead/debate calling a shove

Preflop:
SB should fold preflop. Twice.
BB needs to raise bigger. Something along the lines of 0.40.

Flop:
Seems fine.
BB bet a little large, but within reason.

Turn:
SB should either donk (about 0.75) or check-raise and put BB to an all-in decision.

River:
As played, SB should check and call BB's shove.



How'd I do?

Yeah, kinda felt like a donkey v. donkey situation when I was in it. I was the SB I'm embarrassed to say.

The only reason I called pre flop (both times) was the odds. I figured if I didn't hit the flop fairly hard I'd bail, then just kind of felt trapped with the pair+flush draw.

I considered shoving on the turn, but figured he was either on a strong T, or pocket pair the way he played it. So he would be drawing thin against my 2 pair+ draw and might fold to a shove. Figured I'd have a better chance to get it all in by keeping him in the pot and letting him bet the river.

Pre flop I was getting like 8:1 to call the limpers, and again 8:1 to call his min raise. Just couldn't resist. Guess I need to keep working on that.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

First of all fold this trash pre. On turn SB got the monster, but only checks... why slowplay on turn???, you must lead the pot, take advantage, i can raise 1/2 pot here. and BB played awful too, prefer raise 3bb pre with A10.
