check call mode? comments on the play thusfar?

[prayformojo]

Barring a diamond, I think check-call is your only option. Unless you have a better read on MP1, you are the underdog to at least a pair of aces. Correct me if I'm wrong, but once you're heads up it's no longer +EV to raise the nut flush draw and second best hand.

If a diamond fell, of course, well, you know how it goes from there. I would be interested to know how people would play the turn if a 7 fell. I would probably bet out. Is this too aggressive?

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

I think you're up against 44, A4, K4, or Ax here. AK, AA, and KK would've raised pre-flop. I'd bet/raise a diamond or a K (cap a diamond, but not a K) and check-call anything else. You may be drawing dead if another A or 4 comes, but you've got to at least see the river and probably call it down.

[kgrad5]

how many would have three bet here? should i have just called the raise? there was no chance of an overcall..

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

I would've just called the raise. Your 7-kicker probably isn't going to make your 2nd pair any good and you're on a draw.

[tech]

Heads-up and out of position, you probably don't want to 3-bet here against an opponent who is not capable of folding. If any of those conditions were different, I probably would have raised.

your play?

[JDErickson]

I'm going for the river CR here. I think you can be confident your opponent will bet if checked to.

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

I like the CR too. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if he's scared of the flush, or for that matter, that he would raise a bet. I also don't like the chance that he holds AJ. I wouldn't object to betting out.

[DMBFan23]

I like check calling the river here, the flop cap screams either possible set (which he filled up) or maniac. is he the type that could limp with AK preflop? if he is, then you are still ahead here, but given the flop action, I check call with the boat possible.

[kgrad5]

hes the type who would play any ace even to a raise, i have no clue what to expect

Final Pot: 11.75 BB

i see the merit in check calling there is always the chance of a full boat here, but i was thinking i was up against any ace or 2 pair at most, any bets on the outcome?

[DMBFan23]

lol, I'm guessing from the way you worded that that he either turned over Q4o or AA

really though, my guess is A4s...I think you would have been three-bet on the river if he had the boat

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

I'm sticking with A4.

[bisonbison]

For what it's worth, I think you played this hand beautifully.

[kgrad5]

Results :
Hero shows Kd 7d (flush, ace high).
MP1 shows 2c As (two pair, aces and jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins 11.75 BB.

i was not expecting the 2 kicker... i think i played this hand well, with the exception of the flop 3-bet although i dont think its such a bad play on a 3-1 shot its not something i do every time, thanks for the comments, and i dont know how you coulda guessed A2 heh /images/graemlins/wink.gif thanks for all the comments

[DMBFan23]

dont forget to post the rest of the hand:

"Hero adds MP1 to buddy list. Hero gets rich."

[Jaran]

I'm betting here. I don't want to take the chance of the river getting checked through.
