Surfbullet · #1 06-26-2005, 07:28 PM

These are hands where I've kinda gotten lost lately...I've got a bluff-catcher hand, I'm not sure if I want folds or I want him to keep betting... 2 different lines - thoughts?

Hand1:

Villain is a 44/22/1.3 over 50 hands.

Looks like you are overplaying your overcards.

I'm finding folds in there. Maaaaaybe not in hand 1 b/c he's out of money.

baronzeus · #4 06-26-2005, 08:23 PM

I don't know. I either raise the flop or lay down the hand in hand #1. I hate getting bet into when I raise PF and I miss

in which case the turn should be popped if for some reason hes on FD and will check fold river. rare, but will happen.

Hand 1 is the type of flop where you're probably stuck. You might as well just raise the turn though.

I just don't see too many unpaired hands for him to have in hand 2 on that board given that he bet into two players on the flop. I would probably just fold the turn there.

Very true, nothing wrong with popping the turn and it can help--but there won't be a c/f on river, he'll be all in on the turn, if he calls.

I agree I'm looking to fold the great majority of the time in both hands.

That's what I'd historically been doing, but my WTSD has been creeping lower and lower to 32% lately, so I'm working to figure out good spots to go to SD w/ high card.

Here's another one, a blind war:

Villain is 28/13/3.5
