Flop (...and turn...and river) Bettors Anonymous
Hi, my name is Brian, and I'm a chronic flop bettor. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Seriously, I've recently moved up to 3/6 6 max, and I'm about 5K hands in. One of the things I find myself running into near constantly is how to play missed overcards against loose passive opponents, especially when HU. I find myself raising preflop, betting the flop, betting the turn, and then checking on the river -- and I never really seem to know where I'm at. Obviously, against these calling stations value betting is the best play. But, what do you do when you *might* be ahead, because they call with junk, but could easily be behind? When I check / fold, I just have this feeling like I'm giving up on the pot. Here's an example. Villain is 52/22/1.3, WTSD around 45. Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG calls, MP calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG calls, MP calls. Flop: (6.33 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP folds. Turn: (4.16 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls. River: (6.16 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero folds. Final Pot: 7.16 BB My thinking on the turn is simply that I've got lots of outs , but little showdown value. So, I want to keep the pressure on. Any suggestions? -Brian |

To call the river though the villain would have to be a complete nut to the point of calling all streets with just a bluff. There's really no draw out there he can be bluffing UI. My guess would be a low pair more often than enough to make a fold the right play. |
