Re: Rate this river call
thanks for all the responses (extra props to those who went to 4 and 5 decimal places--I appreciate the thoroughness). I posted this hand because this is an area of my game that may need work. A lot of times I find myself heads up with a player in the 10/20 6-max and get either raised or check-raised on the river. If I had a legitimate, but not overly powerful hand, I would usually just auto-call without thinking just to see what he has (as opposed to calculating pot odds and thinking about if I win often enough). It seems that lately I haven't been winning too many of those times.
Here, I think calling is probably right for two reasons: 1. the opponent is unknown 2. I kinda played my hand like I hit a 9, so he may be raising with AJ. thoughts? |

Re: Rate this river call
I think folding is fine. Not many players play AK this way, and if he's stubborn he'll 3-bet the turn. My rating: 3

Re: Rate this river call
against an unknown i call this down every time. I don't see merit in making an arty farty fold against an opponent i have no read on. I do expect to lose though.
The second reason of something that you played it like a 9 sounds like absolute rubbish to me. If anything, your opponent may think you did the ol' cliche check-call-the-set-on-the-flop-to-checkraise-the-turn move. Most opponents will not raise the river with AJ here, but since you don't know to wich group he belongs : call. ps. I would have definitely checkraised the flop, or made a stop 'n go on the turncard but this doesnt seem to be the issue |

Re: Rate this river call
I would say this is an 9. Also, I agree with Apocalypse that you should check raised the flop.
This might make me sound ignorant but what does "made a stop'n go on the turn card" mean? |

what does "made a stop'n go on the turn card" mean [/ QUOTE ] call the flop, lead the turn Am i missing something but why do people consider this to be an obvious line for a nine. I mean calling a missed flop with a king, and then checkraise your "luckily" spiked secondpair into the PFR?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] People, when seeing this line at a table, consider it to most probably be a nine, are probably as a result of that calling down way too much i think? |
