checkraise this river?
I thought about it then chickened out like I usually do when it comes to check-raising rivers.
Also, how do you guys play the turn on this one? I had top pair but obviously wasn't liking it too much. Do I want the CO and Button to go away, or should I have just checked and called because from the action it isn't looking too much like my Queens are good anyway? At the time I was thinking I wanted them outta there, but I'm not so sure that was the right choice. Of course, if they want to call 2 instead I guess that's fine by me. I'm guessing a river checkraise would be better if I had check/called the turn, so maybe it's best that I didn't try it. (Either that or I botched both of streets.) Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Re: checkraise this river?
Cash, I don't think you're ahead on the turn often enough to want to drive out the people who would pay you off if the flush hits. Check-call.
Given that you bet the turn and got raised I think this would be a fine river check-raise. If you'd checked... hmmm. |

Re: checkraise this river?
You don't want to C/R the river here, as with so many players remaining, I don't think MP2 is going to bet out here. He's got to fear a flush being out there, and will likely check behind you. But he'll almost assuredly call a bet.
Betting the turn is OK here, even though the flop cap from MP2 should convince you you're behind. At the very worst, he flopped a set and you have 8 clean outs. Your situation is far from grim here, although I'm really not wanting the button and CO to leave, so I would just check/call the turn. |
