Do you bluff here?
Three handed in a $22 on PP. SB has been in a lot of hands recently, had pushed or folded from the button mostly. Button doesn't matter here.
I had been a little too tight the past couple of orbits, but had checked him down and won a mid-size pot with a marginal hand not long ago. Also, he folded when I pushed over the top on his last steal attempt. Seat 6 is the button Total number of players : 3 Seat 7: Villain ( $2748 ) Seat 9: Hero ( $3352 ) Seat 6: Button ( $1900 ) Level:7 Blinds(150/300) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Hero [ 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ] Button folds. Villain raises [450]. Hero calls [300]. ** Dealing Flop ** [ 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ] Villain checks. Hero checks. ** Dealing Turn ** [ 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ] Villain bets [448]. Your time bank will become active in less than 20 seconds. If you do not want it to be used, please act now. Hero calls [448]. ** Dealing River ** [ A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ] Villain bets [300]. Hero??? |

Re: Do you bluff here?
My question is why did you check the flop? I would've bet while I was likely ahead.

Slack [/ QUOTE ] I don't think so. Unless you already have some info on villain, as I suggested in my previous post, then I don't know what checking does to help "define" this hand for you. Betting the flop helps define the hand for you. |

Re: Do you bluff here?
Villain had tried to buy the pot a few times, but mostly checked. He almost always bet the turn with a bet like this regardless of his hand.
BTW, his turn bet convinced me that he had a weak K or A and had missed completely. |

Why not just bet the pot, it's cheaper. Either way, I think there is a better way to play these hands, and check-check isn't so good, IMO. |

Re: Do you bluff here?
I bet this flop too. anyway...
[ QUOTE ] BTW, his turn bet convinced me that he had a weak K or A and had missed completely. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, that bet struck me as odd. He makes a half ass bet that leaves him with almost exactly what little stack has left. Is he planning out what to do when he loses? I think so. Sounds like missed Ace high to me. If I checked the flop, push turn. The way it played out river looks like a value bet that you have to pay off. |

(See Scuba's post though if he usually bets these.) Unless I missed something and this is a thinking, tricky player, I think I'm ahead. Then again I've developed this agression thing that once ITM has gotten me a lot of 1sts, a few 3rds, but not too many 2nds recently FWIW. |

Re: Do you bluff here?
Does villain normally lead out on the flop, to "buy" the pot. If that's the case, a check usually means he's hit it pretty good, like top pair or better. If not, I would have lead out on the flop since you have improved, and folded to a reraise. If villain calls, there's a good chance he's on a draw, so I bet out again on the turn, and then I'm done with the hand (unless I'm improving).
The way you played this hand makes it a little more difficult. Less time to gather information. Your hand is vulnerable, you've got a nice stack, let this one go. Scuba |

Re: Do you bluff here?
I fold the river. I don't think that villian is laying down his hand especially if he caught his ace (which is likely) and because you are already ITM. I agree with everyone and bet the flop though. A substantial bet at that.
