A9s against a semibluff
This guy is (28/7/1.3). I check the flop to avoid a checkraise and take a free card and hopefully improve a backdoor flush. The turn I felt was a semibluff or a made hand, so I have to call it down the whole way, correct?
Or does the huge river bet require a laydown?

Re: A9s against a semibluff
I'm trying to think if that was a $37 pot on the river, if I would call a $60 bet. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I'm not so sure.
I'm not really in love with the line you took. I don't hate it either. I'm kind of in the middle. I guess a turn spade, 8 or 9 helps your hand out. I just like to be the one dictating the action when given the opportunity. It's checked to you and you have TP. I would lean toward betting there and starting the information gathering process. Your line would be perfectly fine if villian didn't overbet the river. Maybe I am being results orientated. |

Re: A9s against a semibluff
Looks ok, but I dont like A9 to a raise. Also that river overbet is suspicious.
He has AA right ? |

Re: A9s against a semibluff
I see what you're getting at, but you do not want to give a free card here to KQ or KJ here. I think a bet is mandatory.

Re: A9s against a semibluff
Fold this preflop. A suited ace with a weak kicker doesn't like to be heads up against a preflop raiser (especially coming in from UTG. It's a hand that likes unraised pots with lots of limpers. An excellent preflop guide for NL can be found here.
Bet the flop. That T means you cannot give a free card here, because a number of hands have gutshots. I'm not folding to that turn bet getting 18-1 (lol), but I'm definitely not giving him much action on the river either. A bet like that smells. He might be making a small bet w/ KK or JJ here though. Call and see if his river action is consistent with that possibility. River: Ok, this is 100% donk slowplaying pocket aces. Fold. |
