SB local vs. the Midwest Guy

[PokerBabe(aka)]

Here is a hand I observed in the 10-20 MIrage game today.

Two limpers (one is a non-bluffing weak playing tourist from the midwest).

Solid and tight local raises in sb with red aces, bb local calls and 4 guys take the flop for 2 bets.

FLop is 9, 6, 3 all spades. SB bets, BB raises, limper 1 folds and midwest calls the 2 bets. SB calls.

Turn is a red 4. Blinds check and call when midwest guy bets. River pairs the 9. Blinds check and midwest bets. Blinds fold

Comments on Sb's play and river decision.

Well SB is in a textbook reverse implied odds situation, so he would have been better off folding to a flop raise and a cold call from a non-bluffer.

But if he's calling the flop and turn, the river probably doesn't change much so he should call the river too.

The sb's check-call on the turn and fold on the river don't mesh.

He's a MIRAGE REGULAR. MR's enjoy nothing more than folding for one bet on the river. It gives them stimulation that winning a $400 pot could never match.

I really wish you and Clark would STFU about this.

What? I think SB played brilliantly. That's good solid poker right there, boys and girls.

i do not see why this was played brilliantly. what do they put the Mid on that they must fold on the end and not the turn. do you think that they hope to hit an ace and lose to the flush or do you think that the mid holds a nine with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or even a nine.

i would think this would be a call on the end or a fold on the turn.

please explain to me please----i guess im not seeing something

Well, I don't know what I'm talking about. I haven't acutally played any poker since August 1989.
