Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm in a downswing that is approaching 100BBs, so I'm trying to batten down the hatches. UTG has been mildly aggressive/slightly tricky. Definitely better than the typical Party 1/2. UTG+1 is sLA-A after 115 hands according to bison's autorates.
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed)
Preflop: Hero is Button with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls, MP calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls, MP calls.
Flop: (7.50 SB) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, MP checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP calls.
Turn: (5.25 BB) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, MP checks, Hero checks.
River: (5.25 BB) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, MP checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP folds.
Final Pot: 7.25 BB
There weren't any real obvious draws on the flop, so I thought I'd check behind on the turn and decide on the river whether or not to call the inevitable river bet. However, when none comes, from two normally aggressive players, I think my hand is good. So: value bet, or be grateful I'm not confronted with a bet on the river and check behind?
