Card Player is excited to announce a partnership with the Bicycle Casino and Live at the Bike, the industry’s leading live cash game webcast.
CardPlayer.com will host the live cash game streams for all Live at the Bike webcasts (every Tuesday and Friday, 7:30-10:30 p.m. PST) and also partner with Live at the Bike for special programming.
To celebrate the new partnership, Card Player will be bringing you the cash game hand of the week, featured from a past episode of Live at the Bike.
Here’s a look at this week’s hand.
The Details
Game: $500 minimum, no maximum buy-in no-limit hold’em cash game
Blinds: $5-$10
Approximate Stack Sizes: Casey ($4,600), Alex ($6,000) and John ($2,100)
Action: John opened the action from under the gun to $60 with the 6 5. Casey had the button and three-bet to $225 with an A A. Alex elected to just call from the big blind with the A A. John called with his suited connectors. The three players see a J 3 8 flop.
Action was checked to Casey who bet $450. Alex called, and John shoved with his flush draw for about $1,500 more. Both Casey and Alex called with their pocket aces. The turn brought the 4. Alex checked, and Casey shoved for $2,600. Alex called. The river brought the 6. Alex and Casey chopped, while John was felted.
The Questions
Did John have the most equity in the hand after the flop? Should John have called more than 10 percent of his stack preflop with suited connectors? Is it normally ill-advised to open under the gun with a hand like 6 5 in a cash game? What do you think about Alex’s flat with aces preflop? Was it a risky play considering John opened and was likely to call Casey’s three-bet as well? Alex still decided to slow play his aces after the flop fell: Once you disguise your hand preflop should you ever continue this strategy on the flop? Have you ever been in a similar situation(s) before while playing cash games?
