And the Blind Battle rages...... Almost Prepared to Cap Every Street.

[MAxx]

No read on Villain except that I successfully took his blind money on the prior orbit..... only orbit with him. Prior hand I probably had a better starting hand and neither of us flopped anything and I lead and took pot and he probably suspected it, but what can he do?

Next orbit, I think its safe to say we both like our Hands... Do you play it the same? Results to follow....

I'm not sure I'd slow down on the river. I think the flush is pretty unlikely given that you led the turn and he still wanted it capped. So you're only behind to AA and JJ. I doubt JJ would go to war on the turn like that, so that leaves AA, and I don't give him credit for that until he 3-bets the river.

I would also raise the river. His threebet pre flop and cap on flop and turn makes me believe he has an A, and therefore can not have two clubs.

Results: I charged him the Maximum for his /images/graemlins/club.gif draw. Villain has KQ /images/graemlins/club.gifs, MHING.

When he capped turn I was starting to worry about AA. Up until that point I thought he was going overboard with some other lesser hand. When /images/graemlins/club.gif hit river, I got to thinking a little harder... and did not want to reward the flush draw like I have done quite a bit of. I also don't think most opponents would play his AA that fast head up in that situation. If a non club fell, I may not have capped... but it would have pretty close.

Truth of the matter is that many opponents will cap turn with a draw occasionally when they get a little heated. This is an extreme case.
