Re: A free showdown raise with QJ (semi LC)
[ QUOTE ]
Hobbs,
I think this is a terrible spot for this play. How often do you think that Q high is going to win at showdown? If you are going to semi-bluff this, I think you have to bet the river - wouldn't you feel foolish if he took the pot with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]? (yeah, I know you said LC... I'll stop now)

Some thoughts on this hand as I actually like my play and think it is kind of interesting....we are playing HU so this guy is going to be open raising with all aces and most kings, thus I don't need to worry about him having Ax[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or Kx[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] most of the time. The second thought is that given the board texture and the preflop action this guy has a flush draw or nothing SO often that Q high figures to be the best hand here a lot.
