Bellagio $30/$60, 92s
I post in the CO, folded to me and I raise after finding the powerhouse 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Only the BB calls. I’m new to the table, but from the 3 hands or so that I’ve watched he has been involved in two of them. Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] He checks, I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he 4-bets, I call. Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] He bets, I…??? Where do you go from here, and how did I do so far? |

Did you 3-bet for value hoping to be called down by A-high? That a good flop for you, and I would be tempted to call down after his CR. |

[/ QUOTE ] 30-40 yrs old probably, not dressed real sharp, I think he may have been having a beer, or looked the type that could do his share of drinking. [ QUOTE ] Did you 3-bet for value hoping to be called down by A-high? [/ QUOTE ] No, I wanted him to fold. I didn't believe he had a king after his initial check raise, but I wanted to fold out any overcards, small pocket pair, or whatever else he may have as my hand is very vulnerable if best, and if there is a showdown I'm probably a dog to be holding the winner. When he continues to push hard, I have to re-evaluate the chances he has a king, or that he is leaning on me and is showdown bound with some other hand like TT, 99, that has me crushed. |

I feel that some of the decisions in this hand could be based on the way the player looks. I would ask myself this question before raising preflop: Is this guy iching to play poker, or is he here to patiently prove that he can beat 30-60 over the long run? Then I would check pre-flop, knowing that I'm not giving up much, and hoping to gain a lot more if he happens to be the kind of player that puts in too many bet post-flop when he is behind. |

I think you played it fine and I would fold the turn. Unless he's a maniac you have a maximum of 3 outs. If I knew more about him I would consider raising the turn, since the jack may well be an ugly card for him.

Re: Bellagio $30/$60, 92s
haakee, I would later discover this guy was loose aggressive, and that he was playing a lot of hands.
I didn't include that in my post, since when I was dealt in I had only seen about 3 hands at the table, but I wish that I had that knowledge during the hand as I like raising the turn here against him. Obviously I think we can safely fold to a 3-bet, and probably take our free showdown on the river if called. Anyway, I thought briefly...then folded the turn, he flashes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] as he rakes the pot. Ugh. |

Re: Bellagio $30/$60, 92s
Yeah, you're right. Although the jack pairing probably means he loses as he has to fold to a bluff. I still like the way he played it.
