This is Part Four of our second "Play a Hand with the Masters". If you haven't already contributed to Part One, Part Two, and Part Three you should do so first.

Setup
$100+9 Party Poker MTT
Blinds 50/100
Hero is Gigabet
No strong read on villain

Stacks

Hero: t2670
Villain: 2915

Pre-Flop
Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG folds. Hero raises to t275. All fold to the BB who calls.

Flop
Pot: t600

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB checks. Hero bets t300. BB raises to t600. Hero calls t300.

Turn
Pot: t1800

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB bets t800. Action is on the hero.

Range of hands for the villain? What do you make of the villain's bet? Do you fold, call, or raise? If you raise, to what amount? If you just call, what's your plan on the river based upon the card and the villain's action?

I would go allin of course, we only have like 900 behind after the 800 chip bet.

I believe the hero has t995 behind if he calls the t800 bet.

900-995 there isnt really much of a difference. Note I wrote 700 for like 5 seconds before editing it, you might think you are responding to that.

You are correct.

Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #2 Turn
 

Since i can't imagine that he'd fold here... i'm pushing.

a rough guess of a range he'd have would be ATo+, ATs+, KJs+, KJo+, TT,JJ,KK,AA,

Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #2 Turn
 

I don't mean to stick in a one word reply here, but there's no new information here that changes the point of view I had on the flop, so going over the villain's range and justification therefore again would just be wasting space.

Therefore, short and sweet: I Push.

Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #2 Turn
 

With our call on turn, he thinks he is value betting AJ. I raise all in.

Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #2 Turn
 

It seems like we have the same issue as with the flop. The turn is a blank. Does he have a weak(er) ace, something like AJ, AQ or Ax. QT seems stupid. AA or KK seem less likely because we have AK and there is an A and K on the board. JJ is the only thing that worries me. If this guy has JJ, so be it. I'm pushing all-in.

Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #2 Turn
 

go ahead and push now. He's getting 3500:900 or just under 4:1. If he can fold now, god bless him. If he's beating us, then c'mon A/K.

The only other option that i see is risking letting him draw again to his 2 or 4 outer and see the river. I'm just not sure that he fires his last 900 when we would be getting such an attractive price.

so, push.

Kinda blah hand, IMO.
