66 on the Button

LouDogg33 · #1 05-16-2005, 10:43 AM

Did I play this right pre-flop? Also, do you think that slowing down on the turn could have gotten me an extra bet on the river?

MP1 has shown down some questionable hands, and BB is TAG.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP1 calls, 3 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB 3-bets, MP1 caps, Hero calls, BB calls.

Not a typical raise on my part, but I was trying to isolate MP1. Once it got capped, I called with every intention of folding had I not hit my set.

River: (14.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Final Pot: 16.75 BB

Results in white below: 
BB has Ac Ah (two pair, aces and tens).
Hero has 6s 6d (full house, sixes full of tens).
Outcome: Hero wins 16.75 BB.

Well played.

No point just calling the turn and raising the river because it will probably net you the same amount anyway. I would consider calling the flop 3-bet and raising the turn against a less aggressive opponent but your line is good.

looks good to me. i'd have played it the same.

I just limp in preflop, but I understand your reasoning for trying to isolate MP1.
Other than that, I play it the same.

Nothing I change here. BB's most likely holding a top pair - don't think slowing down on the turn buys you an extra river bet. I like it.

I think that raise pf was very good to try to isolate, and after it gets capped i think u have the right idea, see flop for set, if not then fold, nice catch, i think it was played great the whole way.

I like the whole hand.

This just caught my eye, I don't know if I would have thrown this away immediately on a 522 board (ignoring the fact that we now know BB had aces). You'll be ahead here a fair amount of the time.

I'd probably wait until the turn to go into war, but I think raising the flop is fine too.
Preflop is fine.

I don't like the raise PF.

Yes Yes one limper, but 66 is tougher to play - especially with a raise, in this spot - if your not sure the blinds will fold.

Other than that nice hand. Keep putting chips in the pot every spot you can - no need to slow down.
