dubious turn play followed by tough decision

[JaBlue]

My read is that this guy has a john malkovich from rounders avatar. I'm also playing very low compared to what I'm used to because my bankroll is bleeding from non-poker costs, so I can very easily be giving these players not enough or too much credit.

Who calls, who folds?

[JaBlue]

Bump.

I don't like my turn check-raise by the way. DOes anyone have comments on this at all?

[MarkL444]

i fold, line looks fine

[swedeD]

Because it's full ring and the pot is small, I will fold this one. At 6 max I don't know. If he isn't a rock, I will probably call.

Yeah, your checkraise will not trap any worse hands. Maybe get some money from people drawing for a better flush. Better to lead out. But if he have the nut flush, your checkraise maybe saved you some money this time. (If he raised you bet, what would you have done? Called or raised? River?)

[JaBlue]

the converter messed this up. Sorry.



He flat called turn

A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] river and I bet 15$ into the 20$ pot. Then he raised me all in and there is 35 in the pot and 25 more to call.

Given the way you played it, it's close. If you had led out the turn and gotten called, this is easier for you to play, because I think your hand is slightly less obvious. The A on the river makes this tough, because he could easily have AT. The call might be slightly -EV, but not terribly so.

[JaBlue]

yeah this is why I don't like my turn check raise... it pretty much exposes my hand. Also, my thoughts on the river were "hmm he knows I have the flush but isn't afraid I should fold... wait maybe he has two pair! I call!" and of course I get shown Ax [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I think I should fold because of the way I gave away my hand in the turn but I wasn't disciplined enough to do it.
