i normally don't checkraise this turn but i do it from time to time.
when villian bets this turn i know he has a better hand than me, but theres a really good chance i have a better hand than the button. so i mix and match and decide that checkraising the turn might get villian to fold out something like QQ-TT (99 can't fold because he has a gutshot) and get me HU with the button. also nate's points in this hand are very good too. anyways, i checkraised the turn and much to my dismay he calls and the button calls. and in my head i say i will not put any bets on the river unless a club, Q or 6 comes up and if they don't come up hopefully villian would want to avoid the humuliation of a double c/r and check it through, but if he bets again i know i can muck. anyways it was a moot point because i river the flush and villian pays me off with TT. |

Re: Q6s bb special
I think this is a value raise against two opponents. I see 14 outs and a pair of sixes that may well be good despite the king. Very often the king splits Villain's overcards and as painful as that is for him I don't see what else he can do but bet the turn against a dodo and a likely drawing hand.
Of course any folds you get are greatly appreciated but I'm not planning on them. You just win this more than 1/3 of the time. |

Re: Q6s bb special
14/46 = 30% so it's close...not quite for value on a draw alone...but certainly doesn't have to win you the pot by getting a better hand to fold that often to make up the difference.

I want to check raise to keep donk in, but I guess it's easier to get donk to C2C than it is unknown player, and check raising usually only gets two bets here which sucks, so flop play is good. [/ QUOTE ] Chris, Was this your thinking at the time as well? You were counting on the the villain to raise and the donk to call 2 cold? |

Well, here's the thing. You know there's a pretty good chance that the good player is going to raise if you bet out, mostly because the turn card does not complete straights and flushes, and to a lesser extent, because the card puts a king on the board. In other words, there's a good chance that you're going to be paying two bets on this street even if you bet out. By check-raising, you give the guy a chance to fold. Whether he folds a better hand or not might depend as much as anything on what sort of mood he's in (one slight problem is that, if the third player is truly donkilicious, he might not protect the pot for you since the good player will believe that he's ahead of the donk), but you give him that chance. But you also potentially collect an extra bet that way from the donk if he has something like a gutshot, which is desirable if you do not believe that you presently have the good player beat. [/ QUOTE ] Wow, now there's a level of thinking I've to even dream about. Adam |
