AQ & A8884 vs smart player all-in
$50 buy-in, .25/.50 No-Limit home game (my home), 6 handed
Late in evening's game, it's turned into a post-flop game with most players limping before the flop. UTG: loose/bad player, very lucky tonight MP: loose-ish, aggressive, thinks he's better than he really is Button: best player at table, smart/tricky, loose preflop (and is my boss) BB-hero: image is book-smart, tight, rarely bluffs (host of game) PreFlop: BB-Hero dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG calls, EP folds, MP calls, BT calls, SB folds, BB-hero raises to to 3.00, UTG calls, EP folds, MP calls, BT calls. Flop: (pot 12.00) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players) all check Turn: (pot 12.00) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players) all check River: (pot 12.00) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players) BB-hero bets 10.00, UTG folds, MP folds, BT raises all-in to 95.00 Now: 117.00 pot, 85.00 to call BB-hero: call or fold? |

Easy fold I believe. Ive been burned once with a play like that. Only win 11$ when you win and risks much more. Risk/reward is bad for a call like this.

I find it hard to believe he would over-bet a four. Other opinions? |

He said he had a 4, which makes me more sure he had an 8 and feel disappointed for not making more money. Just my opinion. Well played! |

Therefore, with a "weak" $10 bet infront of him, he knows you can not call that bet w/o an 8. Good play by him, tough but proper fold by you, imo. I wouldn't like it, but I would find a better spot to risk my stack. |

Re: AQ & A8884 vs smart player all-in
You raised when you could have checked preflop....you have been playing tight...what hand with an 8 would you be doing that with? I cant think of any.
If he is a good player he would know this. If he had the A and he knows you dont have the 8 then why not try this? Also is he a slowplayer? Think what level he is thinking on. If he is thinking along the lines I mentioned I would probably call since he thinks you are weak. Food for thought but I'd fold unless I knew my boss very well. |
