Blind Steal

[sfer]

Live 4/8. I openraise black K6o in the CO with a tight button behind me. He folds, SB folds, Evan 3-bets in the BB, I call.

Flop is 68Q two hearts. Evan bets, I call.

Turn is the K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Evan bets, I call.

River is the 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Evan bets, I raise.

ok... i'll bite.

why the river, raise? what will he call/raise with that you beat? will he fold with a small flushie?

I would have raised the Turn and when the 4:th flush card hit the river i would have checked...

I don't know how well Evan knows your play, but considering Evan's caliber, I kind of like the river raise. I'm just curious as to why you didn't raise the turn. What was your thought process?

[Nate tha' Great]

I like a turn raise. He won't read you for having a made flush since he'd have expected you to have raised the flop with a four-flush. So I think he'll put that 3rd bet in a fair amount of the time, allowing you to 4-bet with the best of it.

Niiiice, I like!

Evan thinks for a couple of seconds and calls. I table my hand and he turns over 99 with the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for a frush and I lose.

Why do you not raise the turn? You have a double scare card on the turn (overcard, [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]), plus you have outs if reraised. The river raise seems to have no EV against a player capable of laying down when beat.

I'm raising the turn.

sfer,

1. why try to steal the blind against a good player with K6o?

2. what were your reasons for not raising the turn?

3. since you know evan is capable of betting w/out the heart here, the river raise is to get him to fold, right? you don't expect him to call w/ a worse hand, do you?
