Re: A blind steal - A4o
Whats the chance of sb folding to a turn raise with anything that we could possibly want to fold out?

bb was a donky LAG. [/ QUOTE ] Really a LAG, or just not a very good player? Looks to me like you lost to acey-deucey, and BB is actually kind of passive. I don't actually like it much. I think you either need to play back at him or GTFO; the only hand you're beating that might hang around is A3, and the calling station worries me more than the LAG does. |

Calling stations stats: 79%/0%/0.27
I mean he would call down with ANYTHING. LAG had a great dislike for me as I had beaten him out of a few pots that were "rightfully his." |

Re: A blind steal - A4o
I dont think you can get away if thats what you want. If you got CRd on turn I might fold but a donk? I think you need a read before you can drop it.

sb was a passive calling station. bb was a donky LAG. [/ QUOTE ] If this is the kind of sb who'll always defend his blind and never fold postflop, I don't really like stealing with AXo hands. Also, how laggy/donkish is the BB? I assume hes capable of semibluffing a 3-frush board, so I like raising this turn. |

Re: A blind steal - A4o
I can see what youre saying, but against the players you've described? Youre ahead of the LAG the majority of the time, and you mentioned he's been taking shots at you, plus the SB isnt folding any piece of the board. Why not make him pay two bets w/ 87o or something ridiculous?
On, the other hand, the pot isnt that big on the turn, so a suckout isnt that devastating...Whats your reasoning for not wanting to raise the turn? |

Re: A blind steal - A4o
I don't like raising the turn for the simple reason that the sb is padding the pot. Why would I want to push him out? I have a player who I'm pretty sure I have beat betting at me, plus another player calling hopelessly along. By raising I say, 'well actually, you're both fecked,' and there's a good chance they'll fold. I don't want them to fold.
Plus there is the possibility that I'm already beat. Wouldn't it suck big huge donkey balls to raise the turn and get reraised in such an average size pot? |
