Re: Fun with gutshots
With a read, fine, without a read, I don't like it. Against an unknown $11er, I think this is pure spew, the guys who bet the flop with AK in the $11s can't fold it even when they miss, and also the typical $11er isn't folding JJ here either.

Re: Fun with gutshots
I like that you're thinking creatively, and I think (from just a few posts I've read) that you are on your way to becoming a a very good player.
That said, I hate this play. Calling preflop for 70 more, out of position, with a drawing hand is no good. Then you check-call a very large bet on a gutshot. (With the intention of betting most turns?) While it's always good to think outside the box, you are playing the $11s. Many people don't remember the very important fact that you profit from your opponents mistakes. You should play in a way that takes advantage of the mistakes they make. Early in $11s, the mistakes made by most are calling, betting, and raising too much with weak hands. By bluffing, you almost make them play correctly. To take advantage of their mistakes, you need to nut-peddle. I know it's boring, but it's just the way it is. When you find an opponent that continuation bets every time, and folds too many hands to a turn bet after being called, you have found a good play here. Always remember that you gain from their leaks, and that you need to exploit them. Sometimes they will be hard to find/exploit. I played with a guy the other day who was a very good, aggressive player, but 'value' bet/raised marginal hands on the river when he could've just checked an showed down, even on scary boards. To take advantage of him, you could call more draws on the turn and flop because of implied odds, and you could check-raise or 3-bet the river. But yeah, wait till you have a better read for this play (and are playing at higher levels). Also, leave out him folding when you post to get a better response. |

The flop is maybe even worse. The turn is good. .333 ain't bad. Better than A-Rod. |

Re: Fun with gutshots
I don't like this at the $11s. Too much of a chance that the player is a moron to be making plays on him with a 25 BB stack.

Re: Fun with gutshots
Here was my thought process.
Preflop: I'm getting 2-1, I've got live cards, I have a good idea of his range (AT+, KJ+). I feel that I can outplay him on the flop - so I like the favorable pot odds. On the flop: I don't think he has a piece of that at all. I'm betting the turn if it's not a A, K, or J. Turn: Safe card, lead out and take the pot. The fact that I had a gutshot doesn't even matter. I'll make the play with any two cards, as long as I don't see an A/K/J turn. |
