Newbie question about blocking bets
How can we ensure a villain makes a mistake by using a blocking bet on the river, if he is chasing a flush draw for example? Let's use this hand as an example... where we are putting the villain on a flush draw. This hand is entirely fictional...
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter BB ($29.20) UTG ($21.75) MP ($15.48) Hero ($27.35) Button ($44.40) SB ($21.15) Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, Button calls $1, blinds fold. Flop: ($2.10) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, Button calls $2. Turn: ($6.10) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, Button calls $5. River: ($16.10) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $8</font>, Button calls $8. Final Pot: $32.10 On the turn, the villain called a $5 bet. Since his flush draw has 4:1 odds to complete on the river, he needs to win a $20 pot to justify his $5 turn call. On the river, the pot is $16... what are we supposed to do? Check/fold? If we bet more than $3, the opponent makes a correct turn call... am I missing something here? |
