X-Party skins are best! (and a hand with content)
I stayed away from x-skins clearing bonuses at PS and Absolute (X-llent!). I still have $200 in my bonus acct with Euro, so I tried to 4-table the 1/2 6-max games. And they are great. A lot of weak players plus bad players. LAG's paradise.
The following hand from these games but don't let the above affect your replies: Both players have recently joined the table but the looked to have an idea of what they were doing (simply meaning they were not idiots). Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls. Flop: (8 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls. Turn: (6 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, SB calls. River: (15 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero? |

Call because the pot is big.

Call because the pot is big. [/ QUOTE ] That's what I was going to say. The way you played the turn, you should call the river. |

I think a river fold is fine.

Does anybody raise the river to force out SB, giving us a better chance at winning? Should we just fold?

You propably have SB beaten and you shouldnt worry about him at the moment. Plus, getting raised would suck

If it's only based on 40 hands or so I'd probably call as I've been surprised lately when someone plays a draw really strongly on the turn and his play could be 66 or even A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. If my read was that he was a good player over 80 or so hands I'd probably fold. |

Re: X-Party skins are best! (and a hand with content)
I wouldn't raise the turn. You've got a new aggressor, it feels like BB is possibly slowplaying (or semi-unlikely got some help with that turn card). With that 2nd best pair, I'd want to get to showdown cheaply, and would hate to have it 3-bet behind me.
The way it went down, I guess it's a call. I really don't have much hope to win this pot, but maybe BB went nuts with a bluff/semi-bluff and realizes that the only way to make it pay off is to continue on the river. If your hand was good enough to call the turn 3-bet, you have to think it's good enough to call the river, FWIW. |
