Can you dump this hand?

Thoughts: he would reraise with a 10, and would reraise preflop with a better ace. Standard?

Bet the river. Don't be results-oriented.

? Why didn't you bet the river. What do you mean: Can you dump this hand?

Bodhi · #4 05-27-2005, 12:57 PM

Hell no! Bet the river.

He lost, and now he thinks there must've been a time when it was correct to fold.

In general, I think that you should blindly put your foot on the gas in hands like this until someone raises you. There are a lot of passives at 1/2 that'll end up showing you quad tens, trip tens, aces or something like that at the end of the hand, but ignore that. Bet again on the river.

Yeah, I'd open fold the river.

Exactly what I was thinking. There's no use checking behind when you know you're beaten - that just allows your opponents to see what terrible cards you're holding.

Explain? I love it when I show down a hand that could give me more action later on (I don't play party .5/1 where this isn't necessary or even beneficial).

Read krishan's post, my post, and the hand again.
