Flopping the Nuts and Slowplaying (in a $2000 pot)

Learn Texas Holdem Video Source & Info:

Bart Hanson from Crush Live Poker discusses flopping the nut straight and slowplaying vs multiple opponents that seem strong.

In this hand the caller flops 89 as the nut straight and the small blind wakes up with a check raise against the preflop raiser on the turn. Should he continue to slowplay his straight and what happens when the board pairs at the end?

Flopping the Nuts and Slowplaying (in a $2000 pot)

10 thoughts on “Flopping the Nuts and Slowplaying (in a $2000 pot)

  1. Wow, I should really go play some 2/5. Seems like I could make some actual money from these people

  2. agree with bart…7 handed go ahead and bet out on the flop..someone's going to have something and i still think you want to thin the field even with that..

  3. That's why I stopped giving so much credit at smaller stakes. After folding a couple overpairs and strong top pairs to my opponents overplayed top pairs and what not at my local casino, I realized that you sometimes just need to hold on and hope for the best.

  4. horribler river…shoulda shoved turn, at least that makes things simpler if anyone calls…lol

  5. I think the river is not as terrible as a Jack or a 10 pairing the board. I think we can safely assume SB is 3! Jack's and maybe 10s pre. So he's only left with one combo of 77 IMO.

    On the other hand, while he has more combos of 89, he shouldn't be value betting 10J this big. It was overplayed but is not super unreasonable to see this at lower stakes games, especially when you are so underrepped.

    IMO, I'm making a crying call just bc I underrepped my hand which might have induced to these type of situations.

    Most importantly, we should acknowledge that our hand was played very poorly postflop. Even preflop we should go with the ISO raise but I don't think just flatting pre Is too big of a leak compared to flop and turn.

  6. Shoving turn prices out draws like qk and q9 and probably gets calls by sets maybe jack ten. If your thinking you might fold river you have to shove turn. Spr too low after flat flat.

  7. To me it's definitely a shove turn. And in the case of calling when the board pairs and the first guy bet I just fold. I couldn't believe that at least one of them didn't have a set. Very surprising play.

  8. Bart is being nice and diplomatic here, so i'm gonna tell you what he's actually thinking:

    Overcalling the flop and not raising is absolutely terrible. There are literally more cards in the deck that make your hand no longer the nuts as there are safe cards, then if you start raising on these cards you can be owning yourself against better hands. If there is a player or two left to act after you, by all means call as you are not closing action. In this spot you just have to raise to get value and thin the field.

    Not that you should be results oriented but look at the hands you were against. You literally missed out on $2k because you tried to get tricky.

    Oh, and not only should you not shove the river, I would actually advocate a fold. You literally beat their exact hands, unless you know someone is happy to punt off a KQ type hand. How you were good in this spot is beyond me
