Re: Results
I agree with Leptyne. I used to try underbetting the pot on the flop to induce a raise and it is a very successful play when you are in front and your opponent catches a small part of the flop. The problem with this play is that many times you will get into situations where you have to consider laying down monsters. I got myself into trouble because your underbetting may disguise your hand, but you get no information on your opponents hand when he makes this routine raise.
A hand that got me to stop this play was a few days ago in
a party 200NL game.
Blinds 1/2.
CO~$175, Hero has CO covered
Hero dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 limps, Hero raises in MP to $9, CO calls, rest fold, UTG+1 folds.
Flop K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].(Pot ~$23)
Hero bets 12(hoping for a raise)
CO raises to 30(aha, the play worked)
Hero moves all in
CO instacalls
Turn Blank
River Blank
CO shows JJ and takes down pot.
Basically after that I realized how much you are blinding yourself by underbetting the pot OOP. Just my thoughts based on my experience. Anyone else have similar hands?
