NL 100 - Turn/river line check
 

This hand has been bugging me for the last day or so. The more I think about it, the less I like my line. No secific reads on villian as he was relatively new to the table.

follow the link given in a hand history post of someone else....check out my AA post and there is a link supplied by the converter in the post itself.

Thanks for the link to the covereter.

Judging by the lack of responses, maybe my line isn't so bad. Teh 2 questiosn I really had were:

1) Is it better to raise the turn when my draw got stronger?

2) Does my river raise look too much like a missed draw? Now, there is obviously no way this would work in this case b/c villian has a made hand. But against a weaker holding, can this line work?

I have to fold to that rerasise, it's a bad situation.

Fold to the flop re-raise. He's not trying to price out draws, he's building a pot. Donk bet followed by 3-bet usually means "Go ahead with that 4-bet push partner, I'm ready to collect your chips"

Re: NL 100 - Turn/river line check
 

Personally, I wouldn't fold the flop, since his 3-bet is so small. if you didn't have the backdoor diamond draw, I'd be more inclined to let it go.

Turn is fine, I don't like a raise here because our fold equity is really bad--villain's play is a big hand a high percentage of the time.

River, why are you raising? He clearly has a hand, you can't bluff him off this and your hand is almost certainly worse, just fold.

Re: NL 100 - Turn/river line check
 

Why are you putting so much money in with 2nd pair bad kicker and a pretty weak draw?

Re: NL 100 - Turn/river line check
 

At the time I wasn't sure that he had such a big hand. I keep seeing people make these smallish bets relative to the pot with marginal hands (i.e top pair) at this level. In retrospect, I guess the fact that he bet again on the river should have made it clear that he had a good hand.

If villian has something like 2 pair and not str8, does my river raise look any better? Or does it reek to much of a missed draw and get called more often than not. Interested to get some feedback on this as when to play draws agressively is a big leak in my game (me thinks).

Re: NL 100 - Turn/river line check
 

I have also noticed that a lot of people at these levels will make weak bets relative to pot size with something like TPWK... which is what beats you here so what is the point, and a bluff isnt likely to get them to fold that right at the end when the river doesnt complete any draws in my opinion.

I've also noticed that people at this level call on the river with the stone cold nuts.
