Crap against resistance
Villian is 22/7/3 after several dozen hands...hasnt done anything that stood out at me.
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks. Flop: (4 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls. Turn: (4 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Button folds, SB folds, Hero folds. Final Pot: 7 BB How does this look? I didn't want to check/call the turn because I would have to check/call the river, too if i was behind |

Re: Crap against resistance
Whats wrong with check calling? Although it would be nice to bet and get raised and then you can fold. However - If I had an Ace I would LOVe to have someone bet into me. Then I can call until I'm raised.
For me - if someone bets - I know they probebly do have it. Just my take |

Re: Crap against resistance
Preflop is good.
Flop is good. Turn is good. Nothing to dislike in this hand, other than your luck. If CO wasn't ahead and slow-playing trip aces, he just hit a pair of kings and you're horsemeat. You could make a useless reraise to try and "push him off his bluff," but he's not bluffing often enough for there to be a profit in it. There are 7 BBs in the pot now, and it's going to cost you two more to see a showdown. You're behind so much more often than twice in seven times that it's not even remotely close. Good hand. |

Re: Crap against resistance
My first thought when I get called in three spots here is "I'm check-folding this turn." There's just not enough out there for 3 people to call without somebody having the ace a decent amount of the time. And when the King falls I think there is no way i'm ahead.
Anyhow, I check fold this turn. Is that horrible? Why? |

By "preflop is good / flop is good / turn is good," I mean that YOUR PLAYS were good. You did it just right in each situation. "Nice hand" means I like the way you played it. |

Because it's not what I would do and am wondering why I should |

I guess it's because I played like a great big vagina recently and I'm on a backlash: "push with strength until pushed against." In reviewing this hand, however, this might not be the best time to do so. After all, any A or K beats you, and any Q ties you. We're playing four-way, and about the best we could hope for is a split pot; maybe this turn is better suited to a check-fold. I don't think that would be very wrong. If you're not going to check-fold, I think a bet-fold is called for -- represent that A and hope nobody else has one. You've got three opponents, and if you can fold them all one time in four, the bluff has value. Ultimately, a check is going to lose this pot just about 100% of the time, whereas a bet MIGHT win you the pot here. Note that I think this turn bet should be the last money you put in the pot. |

[/ QUOTE ] Reraising here is retarded... if he's bluffing you should let him continue, if he's not hes gonna pop you again... lose/lose "Driving out bluffers" ...? Why the hell would you do that |
