88 on the Button

colgin · #1 07-26-2005, 09:04 AM

I just started playing 6-max so I don't have hardly any data on opponents. I just sat down at this table so I don't have any great reads on villain although he has not gotten out of line and does not seem overly aggressive.

Party Poker (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, CO raises, Button three-bets, SB calls, CO calls.
(Pot = 10SBs)
Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Button bets, SB calls, CO folds.
(Pot = 7 BBs)
Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Button bets, SB calls.
(Pot = 9BBs)
River: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Button (Hero) bets, SB raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 13BBs

All comments are appreciated.

I play it the same on all streets.

Everything looks fine. Good preflop 3-bet and post flop value betting. The only debateable decision is whether or not to call the checkraise. Without a read I think you have to look him up here. He could have been chasing a flush and try to bluff the scare card, though most bluffers just bet out here.

That pretty much sums it for me, too.

I am a little hard perssed to think of instances in my full games where I got check-raised on the river and my top piar/overpair hand was good. I just havn't seen outright bluffs and wonder if I am paying off too much in those circumstances. Here though I was unfamiliar with the player, unsure whether check-raise bluffs might be more common at 6-max, plus I had a hard time putting him on a ten as I would have expected him to check-raise the flop or turn if he did.

I like it all until the river. I would just check, as I don't think it's a good spot to value bet. SB called a 3-bet pre-flop and stayed in all the way. If you have SB beat, there's a good chance he folds the river anyway, in which case you don't win another bet. If he has you beat, you lose 1 or 2 more bets. I just check and take the showdown.

I think I'd check the river, but I play bad. Actually, I may bet. I think this OK.

If you are playing 5/10, you'll see all kinds of crazy [censored].

I bet/fold this river without a read.

If I know the player is aggressive/tricky, I bet/call the river.
