Default Re: Havent posted one of these in a while (a-high screwplay)

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure I see the point of the screw play here. Is this for value or to get a better hand to fold?

If villain has some kind of mediocre pair, I think that screw play might get him to check the river, but probably not fold the hand.

If villain has as worse Ace, isn't it better just to lead the turn and, perhaps the river also?

[/ QUOTE ]

when I do it im pretty much never trying to get a better hand to fold cuz that pretty much never happens. like spicymoose said, it often extracts an extra bet out of overcards that would have folded to the turn bet, and sometimes 2 extra bets because they call out of frusteration. another reason that i occasionally do it with ace high is because i will fairly often do it with very strong made hands.
