I value bet the river.. with ace high!
Man I am such a donk at times.
[/ QUOTE ] Hand 1: The CO was looney toons, his capping standards pre-flop and on the flop were light, to say the least. He would slow down big time on the expensive streets unless he had a legit hand, though. UTG is your typical loose/passive, calling down with any part of the board and chasing whatever may be there, but will not show down absolute trash.

I do not want UTG calling, at all. I think the CO has squat, but if UTG has any part of the board I'm cooked. This bet looks awkward, though -- what did this card improve? It is the brickiest of bricks. At best, I look like a frustrated TP that whiffed a turn check-raise, or some trash two-pair that I just picked up (thankfully I was the BB, so any two can look sane). I think that I was hoping beyond hope that UTG would fold something like bottom pair here. The proper play here would probably be to check-raise a bet from the CO, and fold to a bet from UTG. I had no assurance that CO was going to bet through after checking the turn through, and I needed to give UTG a chance to fold. Meh.</font> Final Pot: 10.50 BB [/ QUOTE ] Hand 2: UTG+2 is the same player as the maniac as the last hand, but he is not the villan here. CO is another LAGgy player, although he is not as maniacal pre-flop as the previous villan, but he will keep the heat on until someone plays back at him.

The few other times he went bananas pre-flop he has shown down two big cards (or ace-whatever) or PPs of some strength. Maybe he has A9-J9, but whatever.</font> River: (8.75 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Heroine bets</font>, CO calls. <font color="green">On second thought, this river bet looks bad. I seriously doubt he has the 9 or the 4, but he may have a T or a PP > 44. Meh. So I think I am good a fair bit of the time here (waaay more often than one every 8-9 hands). The question here is what worse hands here will he pay off with? Big aces? The proper play here is to just check/call here, hoping he takes one last desperate stab at the pot. If he checks through, oh well -- he probably was not calling. If he bets a monster, that is only one bet lost instead of two. Gain the same when you win, lose less when you lose. Yuck.</font> Final Pot: 10.75 BB -K |
