6th Street Bet > For Value or Draw? Both?
Just sat down at PP Stud on my geriatric computer at my parent's house now that I'm home for the holidays and have nothing to do.
Villian in this hand is somewhat donkish, as his previous hand involved playing xxK and catching 10 K 10 on 5,6,7th respectively (and was heavily berated by the person with AA4 that didn't improve). I've seen about 5 hands at this point, 3 of which went to showdown with incredibly loose passive play. That's why I decided to limp with this hand closing the action and with a live K and live spades. Specifically, take a look at the 6th street action. 7 Card Stud High ($3/$6), Ante $0.50, Bring-In $1 (converter) Seat 1: $341.95 Hero: $165.50 Seat 3: $163.50 Seat 4: $162.20 Seat 5: $81 Seat 7: $162.50 Seat 8: $129 3rd Street - (1.17 SB) Seat 1: xx xx 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___calls Hero: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___calls Seat 3: xx xx 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___calls Seat 4: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___brings-in Seat 5: xx xx 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___folds Seat 7: xx xx Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___folds Seat 8: xx xx 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___folds 4th Street - (2.50 SB) Seat 1: xx xx 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___folds Hero: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]___bets Seat 3: xx xx 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___calls Seat 4: xx xx 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___folds 5th Street - (2.25 BB) Hero: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___bets Seat 3: xx xx 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]___calls 6th Street - (4.25 BB) Hero: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]___bets___raises Seat 3: xx xx 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___raises___calls River - (10.25 BB) Hero: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]___bets Seat 3: xx xx 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] xx___calls Total pot: (12.25 BB) Results: POSTED IN WHITE Main Pot: $70.50 | Rake: $3 <font color="white"> Hero: [ 6s Ks Ts As Kc Tc Kd ] [ a full house, Kings full of tens -- Ks,Kc,Kd,Ts,Tc ] Seat 3: [ 5s 2h 4s Ac 9h 3d 2d ] [ a straight, ace to five -- Ac,5s,4s,3d,2h ] </font> |

I like everything until 6th.
This is an easy value bet/call. The 3 bet is a little to agro here I think since you paired your door, that should be intimidating for him. |

I agree with beta, hes gotta be betting with something here. You have a decent looking board and hes still betting, your probably in trouble.

Re: 6th Street Bet > For Value or Draw? Both?
Raise 3rd. You should be ahead of his range and you want to play heads-up against him. If some other call that’s fine too.
Just call 6th. There’s practically nothing he can be raising with that you beat. Check-raise the river. People freeze up more often than not if you bet into them on the river like that, so unless you have a reason to believe that he’s aggro on the river a check-raise is best. Also, I don’t get the title of your post. What’s with the “for draw”? |

However, I'd be very interested in hearing what Mason and David have to say about it. If you don't mind, could you please elaborate a little further why raising is correct here? |

Re: 6th Street Bet > For Value or Draw? Both?
Read 7CS4AP. Really. Both of the books you cite have some really substandard advice.
Raising third puts more money in the pot with what is quite likely the best hand. If it gets heads-up, you're more likely to win by pairing one of your big cards than you are if the pot is multi-way. Playing aggressively early may set you up to buy the pot on fifth street if the other guy hasn't made significant improvement. Limping isn't terrible, but I raise third street about every time. |

[/ QUOTE ] So, there's a book out there, written by the best authors in poker, with advice you haven't seen in other books, and you refuse to read it? The fact that you don't know why raising is a good idea should be reason enough for you to buy this book. Seriously. |

[/ QUOTE ] 7CSFAP overemphasses the important of trying to get pots heads up and trying to win heads up pots. In most games that's counterproductive. You'll have maximised your %win, but your EV will be breakeven or slightly less. Sometimes I get the impression that SMZ think that you can play losing hands, but make up for it up on volume. |
