Villian is smart aggressive player effective stacks $300 Hero on button with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Villian limps utg, 1 more limper Hero calls sb folds,bb checks flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Villian bets $6 hero calls turn($22): T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] villian bets 20, hero calls (?) river($62): 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] villian bets 40, hero ? Do you think that a flop raise is better than a call? why? Does anyone make a move on the turn? big raise? min-raise/check behind UI? fold?? What if I hadn't picked up the flush+gutshot? Set actually seems likely from this villian,aa,kk,qk,ak are possible too). Villian has 3-bet quite a bet. As played can I call the river? We need to be good 40/100 = 2/5 of the time right? what are we expecting to see that we beat? please, any comment on any street. thanks. |

The turn is a better place to raise than the flop. You have 12 "nut" outs and the J outs may be good too. I think that's your best chance to get a fold from a stronger king.
You don't have odds to just call for the flush; doing so obligates you to call the river. |

Fold the river, we only realistically beat a bluff. AK/KQ/KT/K9 are all sitting there beating us over the head.
The only thing we beat are busted hearts. |

I can probably bluff any [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and get some value on any [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] so calling the turn is ok. We might even have the best hand. |

I am an aggressive 25/50NL player but..
With two limpers I raise that from the button. You must raise the flop. Make it $20 to go. If you had done the above, this hand would play itself from that point on. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree, and I agree that calling the turn is not bad. But your best hand will cost another bet to show down, a lot of the time. If you count that equity in the turn-call decision, you need to follow through on the river. With position, I'd rather spend the same money on a turn raise, and take a free showdown with anything I beat. |
