Blind steal gone wrong?
Been at the table for one orbit, but I've played with the villian before and he's definitly capable of bluffing a bad board.
Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 8 handed) converter Hero ($576) CO ($591) Button ($588) SB ($294) BB ($450.80) UTG ($187) UTG+1 ($428.14) MP1 ($782.25) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $3. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $20</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls $14. Flop: ($43) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BB checks, Hero checks. Turn: ($43) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $30</font>, BB calls $30. River: ($103) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]<font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $55</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $200</font> And once again they put me to the test.... Can anyone put the villian on a hand here? |

(6 max, 8 handed) [/ QUOTE ] Interesting For the hand, this is higher than I play, but since you raised pre-flop I'm probably betting this flop. Since you checked, I'm checking behind on the turn. Fold the river. |

Re: Blind steal gone wrong?
i don't see anyone checking the flush three times. unless you think he'd call a raise from you preflop with KJ or J8, i'm pushing. i think that he thinks you're stealing and was trying the resteal river check-raise.
i'd follow up with a flop bet and check behind on the turn. shrug, your way works too. |

Re: Blind steal gone wrong?
he's either bluffing on the river with a diamond or he actually caught a straight with KJ, maybe a king of diamonds. i feel like he has the kj, but i'm not sure. it's a mighty huge raise for a good hand wanting a call. this would incline me to call the huge raise because i think it's a bluff. the tough thing here is that a pair doesn't make sense because with KQ or AQ you lead the flop to protect. if he's getting emotional with like AT or something, that would be whack. i dunno man, i feel he has the straight with KJ, but he could be just bluffing with nothing or a midpair (with a broken diamond draw). please tell us what he had

I wouldnt go for the steal with four people to act with 2 low suited cards, but thats just me.

Re: Blind steal gone wrong?
In higher limits you need to mix up your play, raising here seems fine, but i dont understand why you dont autobet the flop.

Noah [/ QUOTE ] I normally would, but I dont like to bet flops that I have 0% chance of improving from if i get called. If I bet everytime i raise preflop people start to play back at me a lot more as well, mixing things up seems to work nicely. With 3 diamonds out there if i get called on this flop im prolly something like 5% to win the hand at best, so im pulling a complete bluff which i dont like to do. Since he checked it twice, he obviously doesnt like the board either so i took a stab. |

Re: Blind steal gone wrong?
This looks like a slowplay to me. The check on the flop, check/call on the turn, and check-raise a huge amount on the river hardly looks like a bluff. I put him on a flush, bigger straight, or a set. If I were to put him on one hand, it would be A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I just dont see someone check-raising the river with something that cant be what you have. |
