looks standard to me. i'm not sure why you're vomiting.

Because I can never tell if I just got owned by a shitplayed KK or TT-QQ is scared.

that's why you just call down, and you get the best of both worlds. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] that's exactly how I'd play it.

an interesting question is do we play the same way on the turn/river if we catch the Jh?

Without reads your play is fine.

brazilio · #6 05-28-2005, 12:07 PM

Sorry , I forgot about reads. I didn't have nearly enough hands to justify a fold, though.

If he is a donk I might consider a raise on the turn (although if he pops it again....shees). If the J hit instead, I would raise I believe. (his check tends to put me in a more aggressive mood, which could be a leak)

With those PT stats I don't think there is a better way to play this hand. You lose the least when he has A with a better kicker or a K and you still win a good amount from his bets into you without making him fold with a worse hand. On this turn you obviously don't want him to fold a K or TT-QQ.

fireman664 · #9 05-28-2005, 12:33 PM

with those numbers do you think he would fold those hands?

just curious, I like the loose least gain most approach (I need to work on this)

numbers don't really tell you anything, but a more specific read, like "calls to showdown with underpair vs. preflop raise" would.
