I think you misplayed the turn too. Why 3-bet?

I think because he's putting villain on another ace and is freerolling with the Ah.

I figured I was freerolling w/ the Ah and both players were unlikely to have a 6.

Also, if the bettor has an overpair with a heart he will have to call two cold.

Why do you want him to call two cold drawing dead though? Won't he often get the picture and get out?

If that's your reasoning on the turn, how did you misplay the river? It looks fine to me.

I see your point, but I've been called plenty of times by a 36/20 holding a set or what not. If you can't figure anyone for a 6, and a guy with stats like that would have capped the turn with his big flush, what else is there that beats you?

Very doubtful he's playing a set this way. At any rate I have to be ahead more than 50% of the time when called and I'm not.

Let's say out of the times you get called....

You tie 79%
You win 11%
You lose 10%

Is that worth a value bet EV wise?

If we ignore having to pay off a checkraise from a better hand, then easily yes. If we don't, it's probably pretty close because I don't think I get check-raised too often.

I don't win more often than I lose when I bet, so it's a moot point.

Wow. I played a hand very similar to this less than an hour ago. I raise a 40/10 MP open-limper with AQ from SB. Board is 2345 with three hearts, I have the Ah. Bet-raise-3-bet he calls. I stupidly bet the river blank and he calls. F*cker had Q6s (not hearts).

It's a bad bet because best case scenario in the vast majority of circumstances we're chopping and we sometimes lose to a timid flush or an x6. Hopefully this is something we do once and it is seared into our consciousness - I don't want to do this again.

Much different though being OOP, yeah? Since you don't need to be ahead 50%.

A bit different OOP, but fundamentally the same issue - you're just not getting called by a worse hand, and you're never folding a better hand. The bet has no positive expectation.

66 or 67s are possibilities for MP though you're right of course that there are many more combinations of Aces. He could also have a flush already.

Did you have stats on UTG? If he's bad then the chance that he calls 2 bets with an overpair heart draw are balanced by keeping him around when he has a non-heart overpair or worse.

Last point is that you will make more money on average when a heart hits the river after just calling the turn. MP is aggressive so he isn't automatically going to check a straight or non nut flush just because a 4th heart comes down. And he's also loose so he's very likely to call your raise.

I think the best play might depend a lot on UTG's likelihood of continuing with a hand that has no hearts in it.

What do you mean why do we want him to call drawing dead? Him calling two cold is just giving Jeff money.

Yeah I misread his initial point. Disregard that.

Ok, I totally understand the freeroll 3 bet. However, I don't see how you can be so sure MP doesn't have 2 hearts. I mean what % of the time do you think he will have the flush here?

good post jeff. turn 3bet freerolling is good and i like the river check. depends what your perception of the villain is. is there a chance he raised the turn with a set? would he really fold a set for 1 bet on the river? probably not to both of those so there are really no worse hands that are calling.

Since Hero holds the A /images/graemlins/heart.gif exactly which hands is Villain raising UTG and capping with pre-flop that contain two hearts?
