unfortunately i don't have the hand history available but here goes.
$3/$6 10 players
UTG folds.
Villain is UTG+2 and raises.
Here is MP1 with A /images/graemlins/heart.gif A /images/graemlins/club.gif and 3-bets.
Everyone folds.
Villain calls.
Flop:
2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Villain bets. <font color="red">Hero calls</font>.
I really should have raised there.
Turn:
K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Villain bets. <font color="red">Hero raises</font>
So here's the deal. I can play this 3 ways. Either simply call him down and hope he doesn't have a diamond. Most likely cost 2 BB.
I can fold, giving myself no chance to win.
or...
I raise. He's going to have to throw away anything without a /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. Also unless he has a very strong hand he'll have a hard time betting on the river, thus the cost is most likely also 2 BB. If he puts up any more resistance I fold. I'm putting up 2 BB's here to win 6.5. Am I getting good odds that he doesn't have a diamond (or will fold a smaller diamond?)
I sort of like my line, but am unsure if it's reckless.
Comments?
