Had a weird night at Canterbury 4-8 last night; lost flopped sets 5 times and still came out 2 1/2 racks ahead. Quite probably the best game texture I have ever played. 4-5 on every flop; if there was a raise it was either from me or one other guy. Two guys playing every hand till the river with any made pair or 3 outer. Life was good.
I am trying to figure out if I could have saved any money on these two hands. One of my biggest leaks is making thin value bets on the river and not folding to a river raise.
1st- good player raises UTG+2. 3 cold callers and I complete with pocket sixes in BB.
Flop J64 rainbow.
I bet, three callers.
Turn is a seven completes rainbow. I check, initial raiser bets, two callers, I check raise, called by everyone. River is K. I bet, raised by initial raiser. I call.
Q. Based on initial raisers play, I had him on a pocket pair, Q,K or Aces. Should I have checked the river?
Hand two-
5 limpers to me with KK in small blind, I raise, BB and everyone else comes along. Flop K68; two spades.
I bet, 5 callers,
Turn Red J,
I bet 3callers, Button raises, I Reraise, 1 cold calls two, two drop , my reraise is called by button. River 9 or clubs, I fire away again, get raised by the guy who just cold called two. Button also calls two. I make a crying call. Can I let this go.
I am pretty sure that button either has two pair or an underset. He has not semi-bluffed a turn draw yet. I figured the guy who cold called two for spades.
