No reads.

At the flop, any hands that I'm behind for the button (a hand where the button would preflop raise into 2 + blinds)?

Flop: planned to C/R for value, but the c/r came from my right, didn't want to make the field eat 2 at once. After the 3-bet I figured what the hell, I'm ahead of all but 3 possible hands.

Turn: Standard I think.

River: What's my plan?

raise.

mp2 raised preflop with a 3?
i doubt it.

I probably 3 bet the turn. As you played it, I would bet-call the river.

milesdyson · #4 10-04-2005, 09:06 PM

why oh why did you fail to three bet the turn?

bet the river because button is now scared.

First, I don't know why I didn't 3-bet the turn... Didn't even notice that til you brought it up.

Back to the hand:

My prediction: MP2 has 78

Edit: Wow i reckon thats the most weak/tight post ive ever written..

Flop: check raise for value?? WHAT?? With that flop? What if they all check behind you? Check-raising may be okay with an Ace or King on the board, but not with that flop. BET BET BET!!! Don't get cute, if they all check how can you know where you stand at all? I really don't think the turn play is standard, I would have raised. Well if you would have raised on the turn you would have really gotten some information, but even given the passive turn play, raise on the river and call a re-raise, if you lose to a higher set so be it, but playing this way will pay off much better in the long term.

Nightbrace · #8 10-04-2005, 10:14 PM

thought you were bet into on the river, well its easy enough bet for value on the river, and call a raise, why fold now? Obviously he's not too happy with his hand.

Greg J · #9 10-04-2005, 10:17 PM

Your checkraise attempt I think you should 3 bet the flop instead of smoothcalling when it gets back to you. Most of the time an unknown is only calling and not 3 betting. I think I would usually bet this flop instead of CRing, but I don't hate the CR line (as I like the occasional long bomb attempt).

This would change the dynamic of the later streets, but keep in mind at some point it becomes prudent to start slowing down.

As you played it the river is bet/call.

You should go see a neurologist after not 3-betting this turn, as you may have an undiagnosed aneurysm.

Who cares about button? Unless he has JJ (which he isn't folding for 1 bet) or unless he happens to have A3 (which he is never folding ever), we are crushing him. I'm way, way more worried about getting check-raised by MP2. I think i would still bet, though.
