Final Pot: 12 BB


My read on villain at the time is that he was likely to bet a flush draw or a middle/bottom pair so I couldnt find a fold here. I thought a raise was in order to protect my hand from lone A-K-Q draws. Anyone disagrees/agrees?

[Iron Tigran]

I agree. And as no one showed any strength, I think you played it fine. Unless you were showed some lame 2-pair, I figure you won. Either way, nh.

I like it. Id probably chicken out and check through on the river but the river bet probably has value with your read on villain.

[NDHand]

I'm mostly curious about what BB had, haha

[therockofgibraltar]

The raise was fine. I might check the river though

[Paxosmotic]

What's the plan if a Q K or A shows up on the river?

[NDHand]

Check through... against a bet it becomes pretty uncomfortable. If SB bets and BB calls, its a fold. If SB bets and BB folds, I would call and hope against hope that he was bluffing. A bet and a raise is a definite fold and if SB checks and BB bets ugh, I would call and pray that SB folds. I guess a raise might be ok if I had an extremly strong bluff-read on BB ("When you do not want overcalls" comes to mind) but since I dont have that its a close one between call/fold for me here, I would probably call.

[Webster]

Fine but I start check calling on the turn, Why is he still in the hand and what did he bet with.
