Do you have any reads on any of these villains?

newholdemguy · #3 06-09-2005, 07:03 PM

no reads - 2nd hand at table.

I'm of the opinion that you played it right.

Dariel86 · #5 06-09-2005, 07:11 PM

I would have probably played it the same. If the river would have brought a scarecard ( flush / straight), I problably would have folded.

I'd 3-bet pre-flop, flop looks good, turn good, raise the river. I'm very, very curious as to what the SB held.

Strange play. Can't see anyone calling two cold twice with a hand that could benefit. I think it's a donk slowplaying a monster hand, not a made draw (more likely that than 58 or T8). Either way it's sketchy. I like your line.

I don't like this hand. I don't see how MP1 could be cold calling 2 on the flop then check-raising the turn with an inferior hand to yours. Without reads though I think I call this down too.

Some people would push AA like this, even on that river, folding to a raise. Its not a good play, but people do it.

Why would you raise the river here? I feel like he would fold if he can't beat trip queens and reraise you if he can. What hands does villain just call with that you beat or fold that are better than yours?
