Feigning weakness
Is this standard if you know somebody will bet the Ace, either as a bluff or as really having it? I liked it at the time.
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Nimbus is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Nimbus checks.

Re: Feigning weakness
i think anybody would've bet the turn too after you checked the turn (looks like u semi-bluffed overcards on the flop).
still, i think i woulda stayed aggressive on the turn with both the flush and straight draws out there. |
Re: Feigning weakness
I think it probably could have gone like this:
[ QUOTE ] Turn: (4 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Nimbus bets, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Nimbus 3-Bets</font>, MP1 calls, CO calls. [/ QUOTE ] IMO - bet the turn - Sarge[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] |
Re: Feigning weakness
But it's not like they're gonna fold their draws, so I should mainly be thinking how to get the most money in the pot on the turn right? Hence my line.

Re: Feigning weakness
In an unraised pot there is decent reason to believe an Ax may be out. It is also reasonable that you were taking a stab at the pot from BB.
However, I would like a read that the player to my immediate left is very aggressive. You don't want anybody folding and checking through really stinks. I have been advised by 2+2 books and this board numerous times that straightforward play usualy wins the most $. I think this is what Sarge is trying to tell you. |

Re: Feigning weakness
The player to the left was very aggressive, the other one was loose passive - but I had a feeling he'd donk-bet if checked to. He's done it in the past.
So in that regards, assuming that I was 90% sure one of them would bet, was it a good line? |
Re: Feigning weakness
Assuming you were that positive one of them would bet, I think it's the best way to maximize your profits. Seems fairly standard to me.
