Daily Hand Post: unimproved 33

[jason_t]

This hand is perhaps more standard than the others so far, but I still find it interesting.

is that river bet to block anybody taking a stab at the pot (because you really don't want to be calling any bets here)?

or hopefully they'll drop their 5s?

[brettbrettr]

Forgive me but I think this is very standard.

It would be great if someone dropped a 5. There's also a good chance hero has the best hand.

Getting 44, a 5 and 66 to fold and asking to be called by A high. I'm representing something big here.

I was just looking the river again, and the number of opponents. The bet is standard for me which doesn't tell us much [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] but I'm thinking that maybe betting into 3 guys isn't the right play. I dunno.

So the discussion begins, I hope.

You could check and call but not overcall. I think that might be a better line.

Since we're not calling a raise here anyway there's really no concern about getting bluffed off of the best hand.

Checkraise the river if when the action comes back only one opponent has put in.
