Interestibng Way to Play a Flopped Set
I was watching Poker Royale: Masters vs. Young Bloods the other day and I found a play made by Michael Gracz to be very interesting. Gracz had pocket 4's and called a raise by another player that was about 3 times the BB. Gracz found a 3rd 4 on the flop, but when it was checked to him he also checked, and again on the turn it went check-check. The turn also paired the board giving Gracz a boat. The opponent actually held A-J and when it was checked to Gracz again after a river 6, he went all in. I believe the board was something like 10-5-4-10-6 with no flush possibilities. The player with AJ thought it was so suspicious he actually called with ace high and doubled up Gracz. (critique that play however you wish). I was just wondering what everyone thought of that play. I no it can only be used under certain rare conditions, but I thought it was a unique way to mix up your play and was a way to try and get money out of your opponent when he won't put it in any other way other than an off the wall play like that. I know many of you ask why the opponent didnt make the standard continuation bet, but like I said this can only happen under rare circumstances.

i didn't see this hand, and i can't say if i play it the same way, but obviously Gracz could not have played it any more perfectly than he did. the results speak for themselves.

Re: Interestibng Way to Play a Flopped Set
Is Gracz the type of player who would've called the initial raise with suited connectors?
If so, the 5-4 part of the flop makes the continuation bet a bit dicey, as Gracz could've been holding 7-6, and looking at an open-ended straight, which would've warranted a call or raise. In Dan Harrington's book, he says the best type of flop for a C bet is something like a 9-5-2 rainbow. |
