Protecting my hand in a big pot and an interesting river
Live 4/8 with bdk3clash on my left and fryking on my right. Fryking has chosen the worst seat at the table, because for the 3rd time in an hour I'm UTG on his BB and I straddle. 3 bad players limp, an erratic gambooler raises in the CO, an aggressive thinking player 4-bets on the Button, blinds fold, and I 5-bet with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], everyone calls.
6 to the flop for 30 SBs. Flop is K96 two crubs, no heart. I check, checked to the button who bets, I checkraise, two bad MPs call, button calls. 4 to the turn for 19 BBs. Turn blanks a non-paint, non-crub. I check again and it checks to the button who thinks and slowly bets. I checkraise again and we lose an MP. 3 to the river for 25 BBs. River blanks a non-paint, non-crub. I check intending to call 1 bet.

Re: Protecting my hand in a big pot and an interesting river
Any consideration to check/calling the flop and checkraising the turn? Doesn't seem like checkraising the flop protects your hand from anything including a bare ace (what doesn't have odds to call getting 31.5:2?).

Re: Protecting my hand in a big pot and an interesting river
eh, I don't think check calling this river is a big mistake since I personally have to call if raised here with 28bb in pot (assuming I bet and get raised with no one else in). Normally, I'm in agreement, though.
I'll be at the club Friday night, hope to see you there (but it's fine if you're at a different table).

Your river play is bad. You need to bet this river and rivers like it. [/ QUOTE ] After thinking a long time about it I agree, although I think we have very different reasons behind it. If he calls, this particular player will always have a better hand.

Re: Protecting my hand in a big pot and an interesting river
I hate it. I think you'll freeze up a lot of better hands with a bet here due to the aggression you've shown and I can't see a worse hand that got this far folding.
I'm putting the button on AK but I can't see him raising and you're calling anyway so I don't uderstand the check.

You Brad and Chris are + EV for poker sociability, -EV for actual play. Hence, the optimal situation is to have you in the club but at a different table.
