Anyone else make this call as well?

Dommer · #4 10-21-2005, 08:59 PM

Well I guess not much interest in the hand... villain shows 22 and takes it down. Lame result but I was just wondering if the call was sound. Seems like its sooooooo rare to actually catch a bluff when they bet all-in like that, in my experience its usually like a half pot bet or somethingl ike that.

you got sucked out on, it happens, he'll lose money in the long run betting like that with his 2's.

What AREN'T you beating? pocket 2's, pocket 7's, any hand with an eight, and AK...

of those hands, the only ones that I could give credit for are pocket 7's and AK, because there was a large preflop raise. If he has one of those 2 hands, so be it, I pay him.

Turns out he had a bad hand that he shouldn't have called preflop with, and shouldn't have been calling with. I call and lose to that hand anyday, because I'll make it back against plays like that.

Check the turn or the flop and you won't get stacked b/c the pot size will be too small and I lead the end here for a small bet 1/3 of pot maybe less and fold to a raise. People rarely bluff people who bet.

Based on the way this hand went (and villain's stats), I believe you must call the river push. You're getting just better than 2.5-1 for your money, and the villain could easily be pushing w/ a busted flush-draw or a smaller Ace after your river check (inducing a bluff). Ace-x of clubs is always a possibility.

Your flop bet was OK, but I would've bet 28-30 on the turn to try to take it right there (the 20.00 bet may have tempted the villain to call, although a nine-out draw probably isn't getting the right price). Either way, you're pot-committed after the river push.

I must admit I normally don't like putting my stack at risk w/ top pair, queen kicker, but there's a good chance you're best.
