Default Re: What do you think

Well, I take it you're trying to drive out MP2's straight or flush on the river. Maybe you can -- his river check is odd -- but you're asking him to put in a lot of thought. He needs to conclude that your flop slowplay was spoiled by the scary turn card but then the river bailed you out. He also needs to come to the conclusion (if he just has a straight) that he's probably chopping with you at best and thus his odds aren't as good as they appear, since you're a big threat to have a boat or a strangely played flush.

Or I guess you could just rely on his "weak-tight" instincts to help him find a fold, for whatever reason.

I think the checkraise is all right, since CO probably just has the naked 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or nines up or something, and I don't think many players would check a flush on this river, fearing a boat. But if MP2 folded, my guess is that he didn't have a 7 after all. Maybe his 85o got counterfeited.
