Hello,Players! I raised the bring-in 3/5BB when it's

SittingBull · #1 10-24-2002, 01:34 PM

folded around to a conservative player showing a "9".I had a 3-flush with a "K" showing in this 1-5 no ante game.
This player plays tigher against me than he does against most of his other opponents. He rarely bluffs. I've been locking horns with him for several years now. He's about 72 years old. A friendly gentleman who respects my play.
Win OR lose,he ALWAYS has a happy attitude.

In this case,he called the 3rd Str.3/5BB bet.
On 4th Str.,I paired my doorcard and fired away!
The "tight" player CALLED my bet!! [img]/forums/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]
Hmmm
On 5th,he and I both seemed to have caught rags.

What would U do on 5th??

Bull,

Why don't you say $3 like a normal person? 3/5 BB looks kinda silly if you ask me.

It's heads-up. You've paired your door card. A tight 72-year-old who respects your play is calling you. He has Nines beaten, probably badly. All you have is a three-card flush to go with it. There's like $17 in the pot, right? I'd check and fold if he makes a $5 bet.

a pair of "K's"--NOT a pair of "9's".
Now what would U do??
Hmmm

You didn't say if your opponent had a potential draw himself, maybe a four flush, that would have caused him to call your bet. If that's the hand you put him on bet. But if you're not pretty sure, against a tight opponent, I'd just check and fold to a bet.

OK, so I misread the post. Doesn't change my answer much. Can this guy be on a draw? If not, he has you beaten, perhaps badly. The pot is pretty small, so I'd be inclined to check and fold. If he has two smaller pair, you should continue, but if he's a tight player who respects your play, he should have trips or a straight-flush draw.

The more information you give when posting a hand, the easier it is for the rest of us to comment. I know that it's hard to remember all the details of a hand, but you consistently give us a sub-minimal amount of information.

did not have a 4-flush or St8 draw.
I did not know what to put him on.

Hmmmm
So your advice would be to check and fold 5th Str.,huh??

Hmm

very little information for the posters to make an informed opinion. However,please use your imagination and arrive at a theoreti [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] cal decision. Since I'm NOT presenting sufficient data for U to arrive at a "correct decision",your reputation will NOT be damaged by a "theoretical conclusion".
I simply highlight what I consider the most important points of the play(s). The main reason is that I can't remember anything else that has transpired.
I have a poor memory. Hence,I would probably have serious problems playing with the "big kids".
Anyway ,I decided to fire again on 5th. On 6th,I improved to a 4-flush and fired again.
On 7th,I remained with "dried" K's and checked.
My opponent bet out.
What would U do on 7th, ASSUMING U had gone this far??
I know that U said U would have folded to a bet on 5th or 6th. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Happy pokering, Andy!

I should check and fold to MONROE'S bet on 5th.
However,I decided to fire on 5th . On 6th ,I improved to a 4-flush and fired again.
However,I now know,in retrospect,that it was pointless for me to semi-bluff on 6th.
But I was construing my bet as a "value bet" in case I would have connected with my flush.
So my bet was not really a semi-bluff. In addition to my flush "outs",I had 2 additional "outs" by possibly obtaining a set of "K's".
MONROE did not show any pairs on 6th.

So I believed I had a decent chance to take down the pot.
On 7th,I remained with "dried" K's and checked.
MONROE bet out.
What would U have done on 7th had U gone this far??

Happy pokering,MRB! [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
