open raising with KTo in the CO is value betting at its finest [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: My Thoughts
 

Didn't you tell me the other day in a hand that a turn raise is better, in case he was just bluffing the ace, he won't bet into you again on the river and may check/fold?

Why am I not surprised that after all this time on here, you still get things totally screwed up. The hand you are referring to had different preflop action, a different flop, different types of opponents, and I think the hero was bet into on the flop which, oddly enough, makes it a totally different hand in a completely different situation. Strange how that works, but trust me it does. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I agree, this is definitely a value raise. I could easily pick up the blinds in this spot. I also could very well have the best hand here and raise for value. I believe my position also has a great effect in the value of my hand. I did neglect to mention that the button was fairly tight and the SB was an unknown.

Even in a loose game, I think I raise in this situation every time.

Results
 

Since I don't have internet access at home yet, I'll post the results now.








This was one spot where calling the turn ended up being a mistake. My read was very wrong. He was taking a shot on the turn, and when I smooth called, I allowed him to draw. His KQo was good in the river.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

It´s only a mistake if he wouldn´t have bluffed the river.

If he could fold to a turnraise, but will bluff the river then calling is alot better since he may pay off the river raise when he hits a K or Q aswell.

I like all of it.
