river call

[jt1]

In a passive $3-6 game. I get AKo in early MP. UTG raises. 2 callers. I re-raise and the buton calls. He re-raises me and I cap. Everyone called.

The flop Q65 rainbow. He bets. one caller. I raise. Everyone except him now folds. He calls.

The turn is a 10. He checks and I bet. He calls.

The river is a Jack. He bets. I call. What do you think?

JT!!!! You bet when you have nothing but a draw and when you finally hit your draw you only call!

I'm sorry. I had AQo. I feared my opponent hit his draw.

I'll say! I've rarely seen a game so passive that someone doesn't raise the river headsup with the stone cold nuts!

You get four bet by a passive player, and you cap it?

Ok, I can see raising the flop, with your overcards, but you are really hoping for a free play aren't you.

Once again, you capped it preflop, and then your passive opponent bet into you on the flop, so by the turn, did you think he was behind you? Did you think he was going to fold any hand with that much value? Take your free card on the turn.

Finally, what was the point of just calling on the river, you have the nuts, and you haven't played your hand like you have AK, your opponent might be playing pocket jacks like this, raising here doesn't have a downside, but unlike your turn bet, it might make you more money.

So too aggressive preflop. I like your play on the flop, if you were going to take a free card on the turn, but you didn't. You probably should have checked the turn. Finally, you should have raised the river.

I don't think misplayed on every street is too far from the truth.

No problem Bob T. It's my bad, but do you think I played the hand well?

Hi jt,

No, you did not play the hand well before the Flop. AKo or AQo, you should not be capping pre-Flop. I would just call the River, because there aren't many hands that you can beat here. He probably has AK, but maybe JJ.

Preflop, against an UTG raiser, especially if you think that they are passive, you should fold preflop. Given that you raised, and the button coldcalled threebets, capping was silly. The flop, and turn were OK, and calling on the river, was probably the most that you should do.

G'day,
In a passive $3-6 game. I get AKo in early MP. UTG raises. 2 callers. I re-raise and the buton calls. He re-raises me and I cap. Everyone called. .

how does this work? UTG 2-bets you 3-bet he 4-bets(I usually call this capping) and you raise the capped betting round? I think you mean you called. Personally, I hate AQo in this position(Ime correcting the AKo from the original post). At most I would call and hope for a good flop -- and I dont like that play(fold is probably best).

The flop Q65 rainbow. He bets. one caller. I raise. Everyone except him now folds. He calls.

Not a problem here -- you got the flop you wanted!

The turn is a 10. He checks and I bet. He calls.

OK by me

The river is a Jack. He bets. I call. What do you think?

You cant win. I cant think of a hand that plays like he's played his and you beat. i.e. your praying hes an imbicile that has overplayed AJs...

Hi gacm,

In B&M games the cap on betting is usually 5 bets, not 4. I think 1 or 2 online casinos may do this as well.
