Semi-bluff vs Weak Fish?
Commerce 3/6
EP is a lady who is terrible. Calls to the river then folds frequently, and I've only seen her raise with close to the nuts. MP is a quiet guy who plays good hands but doesn't know what he's doing postflop. He 3-bet once with what he claimed to be QQ. He folded on the turn after an A77 flop and would have spiked a Q for a full house on the river. Someone had A7 to win, and he thought he still would have lost the hand. My read was that MP's raise preflop meant a big ace or a big pair. UTG calls, EP calls, MP raises, folds, Private Joker folds, I'm on the button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I say, "This is horrible" and make the call. Private Joker looks at my hand. Blinds surprisingly fold, limpers call. Flop: (9.5 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> (4 players)</font> UTG checks, EP checks, <font color="red">MP bets</font>, <font color="red"> I raise</font>, UTG folds, EP cold-calls, MP calls. Turn: (7.75 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> (3 players) </font> EP checks, MP checks, I bet, EP folds, MP folds. After the hand, Private Joker says, "I play it the same." I say, "Me too, except for preflop." He says, "Whatever, ten-nine suited is a great hand." -blumpkin |

I like everything about it aside from the fact that it was played live.

Re: Semi-bluff vs Weak Fish?
Is that preflop coldcall standard? Is it because you figured the blinds were coming along too, to help pad the pot?

Re: Semi-bluff vs Weak Fish?
No it's not. I would only cold call here if UTG was an aggressive preflop raiser, and the cold callers called light, and the blinds are loose. It's almost never correct to cold call a marginal hand like this with the bettor on your right.
Edit: Didn't you notice OP's comment about the PF call being "terrible"? You [censored] troll. |

I think Joker was being sarcastic and I don't know about shant.
