Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
Greetings from the very good NoCal live mid-limit games. I had been playing an hour or so and was down a rack when the following hand came up.
UTG (a weak/tight regular, a rarity in these games) raises, UTG+1 calls, 1 MP player calls, cutoff (who is a MAJOR fish, probably something like 75/8/1) calls, SB calls and I call in BB with: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Flop comes 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I bet, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Cutoff Fish raises, SB folds, I call, the UTG+1 calls. Turn is K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I check, UTG+1 checks, Fish bets, I raise, only Fish calls. River is T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I bet... Comments on all postflop streets appreciated. |

I like it. I am trying to find somewhere to say, "well, on this street, this is another option" but the only thing I see is maybe check the river, but I think its a good value bet.

Re: Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
This is what i think:
The flop play is just standard/good. Only thing that is not good is that the fish is raising, whenever a fish raises he has got a hand and is under no circumstances folding. However i like your turn raise, because you got MAYOR outs. The river play is horrible, just save your money and check-fold. Fish is NOT folding, greetz, dutchsmoke |
Re: Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
I would've 3-bet the flop in the hopes of getting rid of the UTG+1...and then led out on the turn. I think if you're expecting the fish to fold on the river for one bet, you have to have played this hand more aggressively.

Re: Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
I think you have to check/fold the river unless you've seen the fish raise with crazy inside straight draws or bottom pair.

Re: Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
Hi all,
I believe the flop play was the worst of all the streets. I didn't 3-bet because I was planning on C/R ANY turn card (I was stuck and annoyed and apparenty that means I make ego plays). Given that I made that line, I'm surprised that so many posters think I should check/fold the river. At the time, and to some extent still, I felt the only play is to bet the river--perhaps as a bluff and perhaps as a value bet. |
Re: Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
should go check check on river

Re: Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
Check and call flop. You don't want AA, KK, QQ to raise...all likely hands for a weak tight UTG. Your hand is not strong enough to withstand a lot of action and there is a good chance you are not ahead.
Check and call turn. If you want to semibluff, I prefer betting. I don't know many fish who, after raising the flop and betting the turn, fold to a CR. Also, I think you want UTG+1 to call here. River I think is close....check and call or check and fold...all depends on your read of this player. I don't know what hands you have beat here. I think the above gets you more when you hit, and saves you money when you miss. A pair of 7's with a 6 kicker on the flop is not likely to win unimproved in a multiway pot. |

Re: Tilt, Brilliant, or Boring?
If you don't know why you're betting the river then I think you need to re-evaluate that decision. You're certainly not bluffing him off a hand that is better than yours.
