An unlucky beat by triple sixes on the river. My initial bet may have been too low, though I'm not sure.

Game

My pocket was . I limped in with four others.

Maxy 6s6c

The flop comes and I bet a meagre $0.20. I had a strong hand though I'm not too positive about it. I thought I'd just check what the others have. Siddel and Maxy both call.

I check on the turn as I'm rather afraid that somebody has a straight or also two pair. Siddel bets a rather limited $0.60, not telling me too much about what he has -- though it feels like a bluff. Maxy and I both call.

On the river I feel in good position since the six didn't likely complete anybody's straight or match their high cards. I move in with $1.55, what I consider a value bet.

Maxy calls and shows beating me with a lucky six on the river.

Review

My bet of $1.55 seemed right, I had no idea that somebody could be drawing for trips, in particular sixes. When she called $0.60 she was getting 4:1 ($2.5:$0.6) pot odds. In a strict three player game here win chance on the turn would be 30%, but in a 9 player game where 6 poeple have folded here chances are more in the range of 3-10%.

I'll consider her call to be the result of using the wrong program to calculate her odds at that point. Something I need to keep in mind in the future.
