ATo, some raising, no improvement.

pf: you have a drawing hand just limp

You are lucky he folded the river. You would think he either called your turn raise with two /images/graemlins/heart.gifs or a hand he was willing to showdown - both of which you lose to on the river. If I was going to put raises in anywhere in this hand it would be on the flop.

[deepsquat]

obviously its very read dependant.

I would have prob raised or folded the flop. If i raised and was 3 bet id dump it.

If he calls i bet the turn, if he calls that i would prob just cut my losses and check behind on the river.

[SCfuji]

no way miles. dr lklopek bet and raised with the best hand and put a great move on this villain making him fold his worse hand. it was an expert play.

[bigalt]

I've tried pulling this crap before and run into trouble more often than not.

if he's got a pocket pair he's going to call you down to the river most likely. the types of guys that are willing to try to bluff the pre-flop raiser are often willing to bluff-3-bet as well (which I assume you'd fold to).

my line would be, raise the flop, take a stab at the turn and check the river through.

edit: of course I probably try to pull it on the wrong people.

No way.

[SCfuji]

why raise when we dont even have a pair? we should wait until we hit an ace or a ten.

[deepsquat]

why is the raise on the turn better than on the flop? He doesnt have a pair on the turn either.

More fold equity, I think.

this is terrible advice. PF raise is fine.

[balkii]

river bet is awful. you have A-high. he's not folding a better hand.

do you think he'll call on the river with a worse hand 55% of the time? i dont. easy check through on the river.

turn: i'd only raise if i thought villian was capable of releasing a 3 or a PP to my raise. they never do. I think calling all the way down is the best line if you cant trust this guy.

[SCfuji]

why should hero raise

[SomethingClever]

Blech. Okay.

I like the raise preflop. You're 7-handed... ATo is a great hand to raise first in there.

You could consider folding the flop. Unless SB is very aggressive.

You caught him on a bluff here, but I don't like this line against your typical, passive donk.

omfg you must be joking.

dood, it's 7-handed. ATo is a monster.

[Aaron W.]

Are you trying to make him fold a hand better than AT or do you think he's trying to bluff his way through this pot? If it's the latter, you played it horribly.
