clangs
I'm playing a lot of shorthanded these days. I'm in my best-ever mental and physical shape, playing in the toughest player pool I've ever swam in. It is war, and peace, together.
And I do love my enemies. And music is made from the clangs of our swords ... Five-handed $80-160. I was on the button with ten-eight sooted. UTG limped, the cutoff folded, I raised, the small blind folded and the BB called. Threeway. The flop was Q-7-4 rainbow. Checked around. The turn card paired the four, and it put a backdoor flush on board (not my suit). The big blind bet, the limper folded, and I called. The river was a jack. He checked, I bet, and he folded. |

Re: clangs
so was this your plan when you checked the flop?
don't you think you have a better chance of winning 6 sb's on the flop for the price of 1SB, than you do of winning 4BBs for 2BBs? or is that extra BB just too juicy to pass up? |

Re: clangs
i guess your play is fine, but i would much rather just bet the flop and take it down with the worst hand.

Re: clangs
I'm playing a lot of full ring these days. I'm in the drunkest and most incoherent shape of my life; I couldn't feel better. The game was 2-4, 9 players at the Imperial Palace. The taste of delicious, partially hydrogenated cookies filled my mouth. The action was folded to me; I look down at AK in the cutoff and raise. The button and big blind call. The flop comes, 862, rainbow. It's checked to me, and I bet. Everyone folds.
Victory. |

Re: clangs
i think this hand is above my level of thinking, but why not just bet the flop?
when you call the turn, are you planning to raise the river if bet into, or did you anticipate this river check? |

Re: clangs
This must be why you like the button so much.

Re: clangs
This is the kind of hand that never makes sense online, but I've done this live too. You just know that when the guy bets the turn he has absolutely nothing.
