Hero makes a play out of the BB.

Read on villain is thinking player, a bit weak and capable of making tough folds. Villain's read on me should be tight, maybe careful. So I tried this play...

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (4.33 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, CO folds, Hero calls, UTG folds.

Turn: (3.16 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 calls.

River: (7.16 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>...

fran tarkington used to try the naked bookleg, too, but had the sense, at least in his latter years, to throw the damn thing outta bounds when the defense had it snuffed out. you, OTOH, tried to stiff arm the defensive end.

when he calls the raise, you are toast. check fold the river. he called the turn. he's not folding the river.

The only thing I don't like more than the turn play is the flop play. Why not bet the draw on the flop if you have clubs?

I'm not crazy about the preflop play here either.

Lovely day, isn't it?

Yeah, the preflop play IS pretty bad...nothing like checking in the BB when you have 89 offsuit...

WTF??

I guess this is okay to try once in a while, but if he calls the turn raise, give up....
