Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

Overall table dynamic is extremely loose preflop. A couple of opponents at the table (Seat8 and Seat7) are fairly aggro postflop, betting out, raising and check/raising w/ a wide range of hands. Seat3 is an inexperienced younger player, who has shown calling-station tendencies so far.

Hero is my friend in seat 6 at a 9 handed table. I'm helping him out by recording as many hands as possible.

Hero is dealt: AJ

Seat2 posts SB, Seat3 posts BB.
Hero calls, Seat6, Seat7, Seat8, Seat1, Seat2 and Seat3 all call.

- I think he should have raised pre.

Flop: Q 3 T (7 SB, 7 players)
Checked to Seat8 who bets. Seat2 calls, Seat3 calls, Hero calls, Seat6 calls, Seat7 folds.

- Is it worth donking out here for balance? I mean, i don't think we're getting anyone to fold any pair if they have it.

Turn: A (6BB, 5 players)
Checked to Hero who bets. Seat6 folds, Seat8 calls, Seat2 calls, Seat3 calls.

River: T (10BB, 4 players) [rake will be 1.25 BB + tip]
Seat2 checks, Seat3 bets, Hero...?

I dont mind the limp in this game

I would check the flop

I would fold the river. Your kicker no longer plays, its likely that the best case scenario is that you chop. The calling station probably has a T and maybe even a turned straight he is chickening out on a river CR. There are still two players to act behind you.
