Impromptu Check-Raise
The check-raise was not planned. I decided to raise when I saw that UTG+2 checked behind. I did not fear the other two and figured I had excellent chances of having the best hand should he fold. UTG+2 semms to be a TAG and a decent player (too few hands to be certain) so I decided to give his flop raise some respect.
MP2 is laggy, boderline maniac. Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Re: Impromptu Check-Raise
2/4 so it might be psycho crazy as standard and full of bluffing maniac. As im a .25/.50 player ill go with what id do at my stakes.
BB special, Your kicker sucks and will most likly be used. Flop: bet/call - FINE turn: BET it& fold to raise, Or check/call it - What does check raising achieve when your probably behind 2pair/Ace+kicker> river: Check/call - Fine the way you played it, Cant really fold for 1 bet now. |

"turn: BET it& fold to raise, Or check/call it - What does check raising achieve when your probably behind 2pair/Ace+kicker"
the turn bettor is not the flop raiser. i like the check raise and call down. i'd expect to lose though. good hand to post. |

Re: Impromptu Check-Raise
I hat to see MP2 cold calling 2 on the flop. But if he's a borderline maniac, I like the call down.
I think the check raise was a good idea, you might have gotten a flush draw to fold, which is what I would think the UTG's have. |

Results
I wanted to share the results of the hand and figured we're far enough in the thread.
Still in white though. <font color="white"> MP2 shows [ Kc, 6s ] a pair of sixes. Hero shows [ Ah, 8c ] a pair of aces. Hero wins $56.50 from the main pot with a pair of aces. </font> |

Re: Impromptu Check-Raise
I like your thinking, and I think the way you played it was great. You may well have gotten at least one of the UTGs to fold a better hand (AT, for instance).
What was your plan if UTG+2 bet the turn? |

Re: Impromptu Check-Raise
:grunch:
Interesting situation. I think I like the check-raise here. Once the flop raiser checks shows weakness you have the ability to face him with two cold and can possibly fold something like A9/AT and flush draws. I assume your line was check/call until UTG+2 checked? This play has the potential to protect your vulnerable and isolate the maniac. Well played IMHO. |
