Standard top pair weak kicker?
Questioning all my lines lately, how's this look?
So far the table seems passive, but I've only been here a few hands and no one stands out.

Re: Standard top pair weak kicker?
I just check the river and call 1. I KNOW I'm not folding if raised, and I DON'T want to pay 2 to show down. Thus, I'm checking and calling and noting what he called me down with when there is an A and a K on the board.
Of course, I also like to miss value bets. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] nh. |

Since you were called on the turn, I would check fold the river.

Three responses, each a different opinion. Perhaps I'll just keep playing it the same way.

Re: Standard top pair weak kicker?
I bet and fold to a raise here. If I respect my opponent I'll check/fold on the river, but for a typical micro opponent the call doesn't scare me. I think I'm losing over 90% of the time to a raise.

Bet/fold and check/call on the river accomplish the same thing, so in my opinion it doesn't matter which you choose

Re: Standard top pair weak kicker?
Well, I expect a call from worse hands who would check behind on the river much more often than I expect to fold the winning hand to a raise. I don't expect to see a better hand check behind if I check the river, so I don't gain anything by checking.

Re: Standard top pair weak kicker?
I think there is a difference between the two.
If I check-call, my opponent can't raise me with good hands and he may try to bluff. At the same time I miss value when he has a pair of 9s or 8s and would have called a bet. If I bet-fold, I may gain a bet when my opponent is holding a 9 or 8, but have the chance of getting bluff raised out of the pot. Since I have no read here, I assume loose passive. Bet-fold seems to be best versus this type of player because he won't try to bluff raise and I won't miss value. Now if the opponent were very aggressive or a maniac then I would tend to lean towards check-call because I want a showdown. If you disagree please explain why because I'm really not sure of much in this game any more. |
