400-800 hand 7-handed

Shawn Keller · #1 02-03-2005, 09:38 PM

the game is 7-handed $400-$800 I'm playing with 5 players who are pretty decent and one player who is a little too loose, limps to much CC threebets two much after limping in ect.

I limp utg with 89s, next player folds to a very good player as far as I know who raises loose player folds to blinds, blinds who fold I call.

Flop comes 566 one sspade I know at this point that he will bet so I check he bets I call.

Turn is a 7 I bet he raises I threebet he calls. River is a jack I check, he bets I raises foldsthinks for 5 seconds then for one more bet!

After the hand I don't show but I do tell him I had the 89ss He says that he folded 1010, if he threebet the river I would have to just call and fear JJ.

What do u guys think, responses welcome.

Best of luck!

Why did you check the river? After all of that action, I would expect a lot of hands to check behind that would call you if you had bet. I'd have played it the same way except for the river, which I would have bet, and then called a raise if it happened. Nice pot, though.

What's your image in the game?

I'm having a hard time seeing the river bet or raise call by your opponent with any sort of normal image. I think your better of just to bet it.

89s utg is a muck for me, what happened to you preflop is exactly where I don't want to be.

I do not play limits near this high so my opinion might be way off but here goes. I think this is a very loose call in a 7 handed game especially considering that it is a tough game as described. I think I would rather open raise here after folding. I love the turn play as well as the river, what made you think he would bet the river if you checked? I also just call a 3 bet on the river.

I don't really like the preflop limp, or the flop call. The turn and river look fine.

i think you can go 4 bets on the river if it comes to that. my experience at the higher limits is people play hands like AA and KK much much faster than in smaller games. a lot depends on what he thinks of you though. if he can put you on 98 then you have to fear he filled up or has quads at some point.

also limping utg there with 98s is a significant mistake and will needlessly burn up chips, even if done only occasionally. that said, when it does get raised behind you, which it inevitably most times, the correct play is to reraise preflop and represent one of the few hands you should be limping utg with: namely AA, KK, and AKs.

I want the reasoning behind preflop but flop call is standard.

You may have as many as 110 or 12 outs on the flop. YOu have to at least call.

Hero is getting 6.5-1 on the flop. He has 4 outs to the straight which are probably good just about all the time. He has 6 outs to top pair, but they will not always be good, and even if he hits top pair on the turn there will always be a redraw against him, so maybe 3.5 outs for those, so I give him 7.5 outs. Yeah, I guess the flop call is correct. Not sure why I didn't think it was before.
