20/40 For Grisgra - taking K-hi to showdown... KTo
Villain here is a 58/40/2/48 with 65 attsb. raises anything and everything. Continuation bets too much.
Party Poker 20/40 Hold'em (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Surf is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Surf calls. Flop: (4.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Surf checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets</font>, Surf calls. Turn: (3.25 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Surf needs a plan! How is just calling down? If I expect to be ahead here enough, should I c/r the turn to prevent him from drawing to 6 live outs? I doubt I'll fold a better hand. Does a donkbet just set me up to fold? Surf |

if he has like J8 he has 6 outs to win and 8 to split.
When that 2 comes you split with KJ/KQ and are ahead of a lot of his raising range. I would call down rather than checkraise for the following reasons: 1) Checkraising gives him a chance to 3bet you off the best hand or one with a lot of outs. This sort of player is exactly the type to do so. 2) THere's a good chance he'll bluff the river if he misses so making him fold a 6 outer isn't particularly great. 3) He probably won't fold a 6 outer. |

I also think calling down is clearly the best choice. Heads up gainst psychopaths like this I do my best to get the preflop betting capped anytime I have showdown value (KT definitely qualifies against him) and then showdown almost always. Obviously I do so as cheaply as possible unimproved and as expensively as possibly otherwise [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Continuation bets too much. [/ QUOTE ] What more do you need to know? A possible place for a donkbet could be the river depending on the card, but certainly not the turn. Let him bet your hand for you. |

The times you pick up a last cannon on the river will make up for the times that he catches in this small pot. Don't worry about protecting your hand.

thx for the replies - that was what I thought.
Anyway, i c/c'd turn. River was a 6, I c/c again. Villain had Q6 and MHING. He said something along the lines of "OMG k-hi you are so bad." For some reason my poker confidence takes serious blows when players trash-talk me, becaues my last month or 2 has me reeling. I think i'm going to turn off player chat. Just a checkup. Surf |

Well, if it will make you feel any better, yesterday I thought for a while, made a K-high calldown on a nearly identical board, and was shown a full house. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Yesterday was just like that. |

I'm so much less prone to tilt now. Even when someone gives me a genuine compliment on my play it puts me on tilt a little. Now I just play like an automoton. The other players aren't even real to me and it's so much better for me mentally. |
