Pushing too hard or just right?
The original raiser in this hand is a total lag 40/20/1.5. His late postion raising standards are very thin however I havent seen too much of his play from earlier positions. The cold caller is a loose passive donkey.
Did I push too hard or put in the right amount of action?

I'd cap the river.

I'd cap the river. [/ QUOTE ] What do you put him on? After he 3-bets the river after capping preflop we can narrow him down to QQ or 99, but 99 might not cap preflop, might not 3 bet river, so QQ seems much more likely. Even if he had QQ or 99 with equal probability 50% each then capping the river would be neutral EV. |
Re: Pushing too hard or just right?
I like your line. IMO, as an earlier poster said, capping the river is -EV. I like the raise/call RR on the river. Would AQ be that far of a reach, or KK or AA here? I'm thinking QQ is more likely, but I've seen KK and AA played the same here.

Re: Pushing too hard or just right?
I would just call the river. He capped the turn and came out firing on the river. KT and QQ are more likely than 99.

Re: Pushing too hard or just right?
I think you played it fine.

Re: Pushing too hard or just right?
You might consider ending the post with "hero raises..." as the knowledge that your opponent 3-bets may influence the answers.
The river raise is the only place I have any doubt. Yeah, he raises 20% of his hands, but is he really capping KT? Is he really going to give all this action with 1 pair? These seem pretty doubtful, so you have to believe he has either 99, which we don't know he'll cap, and QQ, which he surely will. Since you are offering 2:1 on the river raise, I think a call is in order. -Eric |

If you put KT in his hand range, you should raise, as there would then bet 16 KT's and 3 99's we beat, vs 3 QQ's we don't, making us better than 6:1 favorites. good luck. eric |
Re: Pushing too hard or just right?
What could MP3 have called 4 bets on the turn and folded the river with? Not really relevant but I am curious can we put him on a hand that makes sense at all betting points?
I think we are missing a bunch on hands UTG could have assuming he is a 42% players. That's a HIGH number and 20% PFR! And he STILL has a PFAF of 1.5! Certified maniac!! He can certainly have: AA KK KT 99 QJ AQ AJ J9 T8suited 33 All you lose to is 33 and QQ. (If this were a 4 raise game my decision may be altered) I cap the river. |
