Preflop: Seppy is UTG with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
Seppy calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls, <font color="CC3333">Seppy 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, CO calls, BB calls.

Ok, I have been runing good in this game and my ep raises are getting no action. That's my reasoning behind the limp re-raise, but this post isn't about pre flop, so please don't focus your comments here.

Flop: (13.50 SB) 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Seppy bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, BB folds.

considering how i played pre flop i think a bet out is better than a check raise on this flop, but i am not completely sure.

Turn: (7.75 BB) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Seppy bets</font>, UTG+1 calls.

I bet the hand again for value.

River: (9.75 BB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Seppy bets</font> ....

What are your thoughts on this river bet. I will post my thoughts along with the results after i get a few responces.

Final Pot: 11.75 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 11.75 BB, between Seppy and UTG+1.</font>

No reason not to bet this river, hopefully if he doesn't have a diamond or thinks his flush is no good he'll fold. If you get raised here I guess you will have to fold unless he is tricky

Time to open raise with some weaker hands

[dfscott]

With more people in the pot, I might check/call this river, but there's no reason not to bet this heads-up.

[Clarkmeister]

Perfect

I don't like the river bet...

goes in that same ol' "If he raises or calls, he's got me, if he don't he folds..."

and he might raise - so I'll check/call - RB

I would bet with just a good TP here. You should try it, you'd be amazed what people will call with even on the scariest boards.

[rjc199]

Do you call a river raise?

[SeppDeitrich]

It's not your poker skills Clark, it's the good looks and charming personality.

[SeppDeitrich]

Unlikely this guy isn't going to raise with less than kd, or maybe jd

in this low limit game i don't worry too much about being bluff raised on the river

[SeppDeitrich]

damn.... i didn't read this before i posted mine, looks like someone beat me to the punch.

I'll second that. In the last week (since SSH arrived, conincidence?) I have been betting the river MUCH more than I had been and I am stunned by what people are calling with. Holding hands they should have folded on the flop (never mind pre-flop), they will call a bet on the river unimproved.

[SeppDeitrich]

he could call with top pair or some such hand, he could fold a low dimond, though he would probably have to be stupid to do either. On the other hand if he isn't stupid why am i sitting at a poker table with him?

[SeppDeitrich]

it didn't look so pretty when the guy called and fliped over his a5o, with the 5 of dimonds. I still think my bet was right. considering the way he played the hand so far i'd expect he would have called with any A5 he might hold. If i had checked to him he would probably bet, and i'm not folding so i lose nothing when he has that baby dimond.
