Re: How much respect do I give this guy?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] 5/10 live game at the casino morongo. UTG is a supertight old player who has only pushed in twice, once with a set on the turn and the other time with a nut flush. I've seen him play K10 suited for a decent pot, but only with position and he doesn't even raise with QQ in MP preflop. Button is just a complete idiot-he's called my reraise for $200 preflop with A5 suited and puts in a small raise on the button every hand. UTG has $1000, Button has $4000, I have $3300. I'm dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the big blind. UTG limps. Folded to the button who makes it 25. I call, UTG calls. Flop comes down K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I check, UTG bets 35, Button calls. I raise to $135. UTG and button call. Turn comes K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet out for $120, two callers. River comes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] At this point, I'm worried about what UTG could have so I check. I check, he immediately moves all-in for $720. Button folds. Do I call or fold in this spot? [/ QUOTE ] The only reason to check this river is if you intend to call. I hope you didn't fold, I'm pretty sure this is a "damn, that guy who I thought was tight all night pulled some stupid [censored]." [/ QUOTE ] Nah, I checked because that guy sticking in the pot made me doubt I was good. Everybody at the table was talking about how they were shocked he only had a weak king and they all assumed he was full. If it makes you feel better, I ended up taking his stack with a set versus a severe overplay of AA. |

Re: How much respect do I give this guy?
I don't play these limits but I think you needed to bet about 250-300 on the river with intentions of folding to an all in. You will probably see K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]X [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] here but A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and 99 look like real possibilites.

Re: How much respect do I give this guy?
It's tough to say what UTG has given his tiny flop bet and then just smooth calling the rest of the way. Seems like 99/44 is the most likely hand.
Also, I'm wondering why you check/raised the flop? Was this just for deception? |

i would have bet 250 or so on the river into him, as he will just call with a weaker K if your hand is good. he could have flopped a set and looked to jam the turn to out-price the diamond draw, but he managed to fill up and wanted the idiot button to come along and pay him off on the river. 2-1 on your call isn't enough here to make the crying call i dont think, as i expect your hand to be good a far less time than that. [/ QUOTE ] All of this sounds right to me. |

Re: How much respect do I give this guy?
How tight could UTG be limping with K3? I know it's been said, but i think a blocking bet is key here on the river.

The first option seems terrible and the second is odd because if he's got a raising hand he's got a calling hand so I might as well bet to make sure that a worse K doesn't check behind...I would appreciate if you attached a $ amount to the words "block bet". As for the K3 limp not making him tight, needless to say everybody was shocked. The guy was a rock. |
