Hand against another 2+2'er..River Play

OrangeHeat · #1 03-17-2005, 08:44 AM

A little background - Button is well known 2+2 solid thinking player. UTG+1 is certifiable loon with VPIP of >70% for the 50 or so hands I have on him. BB is little loose but not tricky.

Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, MP3 calls, 1 fold, Button 3-bets, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, Hero caps, MP3 folds, Button calls, BB calls, UTG+1 calls. - Standard play here.

Flop: (18.66 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Also played it itself. 2+2'er calling bothers me a bit as it seems he wants to keep the customers in between. His holdings after the preflop 3 bet and this flop action are pretty much KK, AA, or the other QQ. I put almost zero chance on AK, AQ, AJ as he would want to get the play heads-up after the flop. JJ also would not want any cheap cards for me to connect if I held AK, or AQ.

Turn: (11.33 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, Button raises, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

This pretty much narrowed his holding down to AA or KK.

River: (17.33 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, 

I bet knowing I have at best the second best hand.

Thoughts later.

I was hoping the 2+2'er had KK and put a small percentage on the chance that he would fold it. With the pot size even a small chance makes this worth it I think.

I have no problem with your line at all. And it was a goof fold on the river.

I like it. river bet will possibly get KK to fold. you can safely fold to a raise.

i really like how you were able to narrow down his holdings as much as you did by the flop. but a little confused on how you were so sure he didn't have AK.
