Mirage 10/20 - chance for a great river laydown

[SinCityGuy]

Good game, average of four or five to the flop, raised about 50% preflop.

Unknown player open limps UTG, I limp UTG+3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], calling station limps in the CO, weak/tight button raises, unknown BB calls, all three limpers call.

Five to the flop for 10 SB's.

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG bets, I call, CO calls, button raises, BB folds, UTG calls, I call, CO calls.

Four to the turn for 9 BB's.

Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

UTG checks, I bet, button folds, BB folds, UTG raises, I call.

Two to the river for 13 BB's.

UTG bets, I call. Should I have saved a big bet here?

You had a clear check-fold on the turn. Didn't you see the flush??

[Diplomatdcm]

LMAO..classic.

Certainly should have saved the river bet. Especially because the top card on board was not of the flush suit, you should probably fold the turn against a decent player. Too much of the time he could be there with KQs ATs or something like that.

Actually, Clark, I'd fold the flop here. The opponent has Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and is freerolling against Hero.

Making great river laydowns is the hallmark of all top players in the Mirage 10/20 game. It's a part of my game that needs a lot of work.

[SinCityGuy]

He had K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and MHWG.

I briefly thought about folding the river, but then I pictured Ed Miller and Clarkmeister glaring at me with their arms crossed, and I decided to call.

Boy are you playing with fire. Don't count on getting so lucky next time.

I like check fold the turn here too.
If I am ahead - there are most likely plenty of ways my opoonet can outdraw me on the river. If I am against a flush im drawing dead. Also potato, where do you come up with the read that one of his opponets has QT of hearts? Maybe you were joking - but it seems like a silly post seeing as you cannot reach that conclusion with any certainty...
