Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 5963094, member: 393841"] I have never played cash games in 888, so I do not know the types of players that could be found. However on first impression, it seems that this table got a bit sticky in this hand. The opening comes from a very strong position, then the effective stack of the hand calls 2.5x from CO. That call seems a bit suspicious to me with 80bb, when there are still 3 active players that need to speak. Without specific reading, we must assume that this villain enters the pot with decent hands, of type middle-high connectors of the suit. The SB's call seems really interesting. There is only one player left to act (hero). So from SB's shoes, the villain can understand that if he has a very strong hand, he needs to seek isolation now, as his range will lose equity when he finds himself in postflop and with a multi-way pot. The only reason I can find in SB for him to call preflop with a super strong hand, is if he expects the BB to 3-bet on a high frequency. From another perspective, if we assume that the SB does not seek isolation, his preflop call will allow him to have more information about the active ranges, especially the CO range, which he called with 80bb to a 2.5x MP opening. So if he is facing a 3-bet from any position, he will have a safer fold to make. Due to the unconventional CO and SB lines, I prefer to just call preflop. Although our hand has some properties, this sequence seems to indicate that we will not get enough fold equity in the active positions, and the times we are called, we will be overcome a good part of the time. As we play preflop, it is correct to check this flop texture in a 3-way pot. If we had called preflop I also agree with the flop check. The continuation bet makes more sense here when we look for the jam with our second nut flush draw, given the little deep of the stacks. If we don't want to draw dead when we think that one of the villains has the Ah, I agree more with the check/fold line. Greetings. [/QUOTE]
