View Full Version : Turn check/call puzzles me

Crypto .50/1 pound 6-max (I know, the rake is higher, but the play is bad enough for me to justify it.)

I'm UTG+1 with 102 and I get T/images/graemlins/diamond.gifT/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, I raise it to 4, CO folds, Button folds.
SB (bizzare play postflop, and hard to put on a hand, but loose and slightly aggressive preflop) calls, with 57 behind.
BB (super-LAG preflop) calls with 77 behind.

Flop 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif7/images/graemlins/spade.gif3/images/graemlins/club.gif

SB checks, BB bets 3, I raise it to 15, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn K/images/graemlins/spade.gif

SB checks to me. I sit there stunned. I have no idea at all what she's holding (I assume, by the username, that SB is female; I could be incorrect). SB has about 38 left. I push.

Comments?

hmm

well, no draws got there, and if you put them on a draw like 9T or 56 then push is good, however, if the player is bad enough to have been drawing to Kx, then your bet has no positive expectation.

given this, i'd say the push or check is really read-based. honestly, barring any read, i'd check behind and call on the river if no A, J, 8 or 4 pops off. that way if he has a draw and missed, you can make more money, and if he really has Kx or makes his draw, your flop raise will probably give you a cheap showdown on a hand which you're probably not going to fold right now.

tough one tho, esp at intercasino where he could have AA as soon as 72o.
