Sigfried and Roy Confused on the river

[SeaEagle]

I have no idea what villian might have, but I would probably like to play at his table.

I play this the same way you did. Your river bet figures to be a good value bet, and you're going to call a bet from someone else anyway. You can't possibly expect that someone is going to raise you after checking the turn and a total rag river.

Villain has A8 and MHING. Weak turn play i'd say by Villain

Cost him one or two from others...

Yeah; I'd play it worse. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

In this situation, I'd spew chips on the turn, too. I'm not saying it's the right play, because it's not (heck, you're facing four foes; one of them HAS to have an ace). I'm just saying that's what I do, because I'm a tool.

Of course, if villain wakes up and raises on the turn (which he might, given the new inside straight draw added onto his top pair), you can then exit gracefully and save cash from the river. If he just calls, and everybody else does, too, then I might just lead out on that blank river card in the hopes that my QQ actually stands up. The raise gives me heartburn, and I make a crying call, and I lose one more BB than you did. Bleh.

Like I said: it's not a better play or even a good play, but it's just the play I'd make.
