Deep Stacks
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter
BB (t3000) UTG (t3000) UTG+1 (t1220) MP1 (t6020) Hero (t2880) Villain (t6140) CO (t840) Button (t2548) SB (t3500) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, Villain calls t100, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls t80. Flop: (t330) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villain raises to t400</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls t200. Turn: (t1130) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villain bets t500</font>, Hero calls t500. River: (t2130) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players) The only available info on Villain is that he doubled up on a set of deuces after calling a modest raise preflop. When his opponent bet the flop, he miniraised. Mostly I'm curious about how to handle the the river, but if anyone hates earlier streets (would you consider folding the turn?), please let me have it.

Re: Deep Stacks
Pot is big right now, I'd put in a 500 bet on the river before he can check behind or make a bet. If you are sure he is going to bet, then go for a check raise all in, but if you sense he might check, go ahead and put a bet out there to possibly get more chips.
That said, I probably would have check raised this turn, or made the call on the flop followed by a bet on the turn, which he might want to raise anyways. He might have had AQ and in which case, you stack him. Can't put him on exactly a set here. |

Re: Deep Stacks
blocking bet of 500. Fold if he pushes.

Re: Deep Stacks
Ugh.
I think I'd want to bet more like 800 and fold to a push so that the chances of me being bluffed off the pot or value raised by a worse hand is lessened. I also think that maybe I shouldn't be folding these in a smallish buy in online mtt. top two pair is tha nutz, -Jason |

Re: Deep Stacks
I would bet something on the river....with the intention of calling any raises. I'm not confident enough that my opponent won't raise the river with some 2 pair. |

Re: Deep Stacks
Sorry, should have mentioned this was $73+7 Satellite (though far away from the seats; average ITM stack will be t13,500).

Re: Deep Stacks
I put villain on 77/AQ most likely, QQ/AJ/AK possibly, Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a distant possibility.
QQ probably reraises preflop, but might call to see a flop with stacks this deep and a respectable 5x raise. Flop and turn play is fine. On the river, you have to bet out. AQ/AJ will pay you off if you bet, but they'll probably check it through if you check (flush possibility on board, dangerous K) AJ/AQ/77 will probably just call a bet you make, with a number of hands that now could beat it. QQ will probably reraise, but might also just call, fearing your possible AA/KK/flush. With 1880 behind and a 2130 pot, I think leading out for 500 or 600 is the best move, fold to a push, but I don't foresee one coming. |
