View Full Version : too passive?
BB in this instance is very loose and very bad post-flop too.
Hero is on the button with A-Q. 3 limpers, hero raises, BB calls and limpers call (10SB’s)
Flop: 5,5,6 rainbow. All check, hero checks?
Turn: Q. BB bets, all fold, hero calls
River 10. BB bets, hero calls
Reasons for not raising turn or river:
· He could easily have a 5 that he wanted to check-raise the flop with (cos he likes check-raising as a rule) and I don’t want to be 3 bet here
· If he’s bluffing I don’t want to scare him off (turn)
raise turn, he much more likely has a Q, a pp, a weak 6 or even a straight draw. some players will even bet here with A high.
regardless, your ahead of the majority of his range, and if he peels the turn raise you get the same 2BB from calling down, but when you raise you get a chance at a 3rd on the river.
Answer - WAY 2 Passive
bet the flop to keep control & see if you get a c/r (a Much better sign of one of the only two 5s left)
Raise the turn - once again to see if he likes his hand or has something like 6-2!?!
If after this line BB still bets the riv, then call. AS it stands, you win here very often.
FWIW, don't give a ML opponent credit for the nuts as a rule of thumb. Make them earn it by their play.
thanks for the replies, if we get c/r'd on the flop, how much further do we continue?

Agree with Beachman42
Raise flop, raise turn, then call down with further resistance
Where's AK when you need him?

While more info (# of limpers, read on villian, etc) would help, if all limpers fold to the raise, I fold too. Pot would be too small to try to draw to a 6 outer to 2nd best. This is exactly why you bet the flop - cheaper to let go in smaller pots.

You're right, it was a stupid question really.
I like your line, thanks for the advice.

Grunch:
I think that I would bet the flop to keep the lead.
On the turn I think I raise also. Once you raise the turn it changes the dynamics of the rest of the hand. In the case that he comes along for the river and bets again I call it and see what he has. (this river line may be passive)

sure you can. it is also for value. you don't want someone else getting a free look at their gutshot or 6-outer when you most likely have the best hand and/or 6-outs against a small pocket pair that might give you a free turn card too.
it is very unlikely this hit anyone, so you should bet.

If you have the best hand, which is very likely, for every two random cards that you fold, you will increase your equity by ~15%.
Bet the flop. Raise the turn.
