I raised a lot on the turn (and I thought he had top set or something like that and would reraise all in), instead he just called and raised all-in on the river.

After the hand was over I thought about it a little more and now im growing confident that i was bluffed. Why wouldnt he reraise the turn with a set? Could he call that with a flush draw?

[r3vbr]

Could I have played this any differently? Suggestions please!!!!

try mid-high stakes PL and NL /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Yeah I'd tend to agree as you bet $100 on the turn then bet $56 on the river. That's not even a value bet for this size pot for a hand of your strength.

I'd think he'd be a bit more aggro with not 1 but also the backdoor flush coming + a couple of other straightening cards that would kill his action.

I'd definitely lean towards calling this.

P.S. how has the 200 millionth $50k prize changed your game/stakes if any? GL

Why on earth did you only bet 1/6 pot on the river? That bet is begging to be raised and he obliged. What made you put him specifically on top set? He can't have A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, here? If he has a set, why is he not protecting his hand against the 20 zillion draws?

Your tiny river bet got you in a lot of trouble. If you had a set and just filled up, you wouldn't give your opponent a chance to look you up for 1/6 of the pot. From your opponent's point of view, you really seem to dislike that 3. I would have made a standard value bet.

Stars had a promotion a while back for their 200 millionth hand and he won (winning that key hand).

[BoneCollector]

Are you the same guy who won the 50K giveaway at the microlimit NL? Just curious.

[r3vbr]

That's exactly what I thought at the time! he would HAVE to raise with a set on the turn....

Damn I was outplayed wasn't I!

looks like a bluff to me, imo. you were just asking for it with that river bet. you need to bet at least 200 here on the river, or even plan on check/calling anything. why bet 56? you are betting half of what you bet on the turn. and yes, he would raise you on the turn with a set, or just call with a flush draw. looks like a missed flush bluff.

Hmmm, they why don't people under bet the river to draw a big bluff river raise. Seems pretty profitable.
