Over the past couple of days I've been experimenting with checking the river when I have a good hand and a pseudo-scary card hits with the intention of calling any bet. This is along the lines of if I bet and they have nothing they will fold and I win nothing, but if they actually hit it, they get to take all my money, but if I give them a chance to bluff, I sometimes get to take more money from them. Unfortunately, I have been using it as more of a general strategy on the river, rather than really looking for places that villain might or might not call a straight river bet. Anyway, on to the action.
Villain was somewhat loose and somewhat aggressive preflop and had been a little tricky (check-raise flop) postflop. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter AliasMrJones (t960) UTG (t1060) UTG+1 (t2045) MP1 (t915) MP2 (t1180) MP3 (t110) CO (t2185) Button (t790) SB (t755) Preflop: AliasMrJones is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t60</font>, Button calls t60, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, AliasMrJones calls t30. Flop: (t195) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> AliasMrJones checks, CO checks, Button checks. Tried for check-raise, but it didn't work... Turn: (t195) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">AliasMrJones bets t120</font>, CO folds, Button calls t120. ...So I bet out the turn. River: (t435) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> AliasMrJones checks, button goes all-in(610), AliasMrJones calls. I thought an A or flush draw was more likely than a 5. Comments? |
