Re: Pair higher than middle pair hands oop
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Bet this river. Bet your marginal hands in to loose passive opponents. [/ QUOTE ] To expand a bit, Grunch, what if the callers are, say TP-P? Is there a point at which you'll slow down on a read that your opponent probably has you beaten but is to timid to raise? Or will you just bet it all the way down against that guy as well, knowing that it's unlikely to cost you an extra bet? [/ QUOTE ] Don't bet marginal hands in to tight opponents, especially more than one. If both opponents are T here, a check is the way to go. It comes down to how often your opponents will call with worse hands if you bet. If your opponents are tight, when they call they usually beat you. But with loose opponents, when they call there's a very good chance they have less than you. I should point out that if there were 4 passive opponents, I probably wouldn't bet then. |

Re: Pair higher than middle pair hands oop
[ QUOTE ]
I kinda doubt that you'd be posting this hand if you were not shown the queen, but don't let the results fool you. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I just see this situation come up a lot and picked the first hand out of PT that sort of matched the situation. I'm not sure if I got shown the Q or not. However, I am a bit upset at the specific hand that I picked, because I have a straight draw on the turn. My Q has more to do with what happens on certain boards when the only hands that call have you beaten, like JJ on an 88K rainbow flop or something, but I'm stuck with the hand I posted.

Re: Pair higher than middle pair hands oop
Any reads? If they're your typical loose/passive/bad players they could be calling down with anything. Flop and turn look good. On the river, not very sure you can value bet this.
If you check and MP1 bets and the other guy calls, you have a decision to make. If MP1 bets and the other guy folds, you only have to be good 9.5% of the time, so you can probably call. Edit: Yeah, I know I'm the only one doubting a river bet. I gotta stop pussying out in these situations. |

Re: Pair higher than middle pair hands oop
I don't think K88 is all that bad of a flop for JJ. There are fewer ways it could have hit your opponents, but LPP's will still call the flop with just about anything. Bet it, but be prepared to duck out fast if someone tells you that you are beaten.
Also, good for you for not necessarily posting a hand you lost [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. |
