Looks good to me.

Generaly strategy to decided about check-calling or bet-fold is whether you think your opponent is capable of bluff raising a missed river or whether your opponent is likely to bluff river with a missed draw etc. Since pretty much every draw misses here, I like check-calling rather than betting out.

I don't like this that much.

What is he calling you with?

Why are we so sure we're good?

punter11235 · #4 08-16-2005, 07:25 PM

We are not sure but str8 and flush draws are possible.

I play an overpair the same way he did.

punter11235 · #6 08-16-2005, 07:34 PM

Yes I understand that he may have strong hand , AJ, overpair or even str8... its difficult situation for me that's why I ask this question and ask about every street...
What do you suggest instead of my line ?

Flop and turn look okay to me.

You seem to have decided that you had the best hand on the flop and proceeded accordingly. So why change your mind now with the turn and river rags? I would just check call the river here given the action.

If you are so worried about being beat, well maybe you should have check folded the flop or folded preflop and not worry about being dominated (e.g. AJ). If he has a set well it happens what can you do. You pay him off. You can't worry being up against a set all the time...

I doubt he would be trying to make a move on you though.

I called , he showed KhQh (flush draw) and I took the pot. I didnt feel very good about my play though.
