Re: First hand of the day, AA
Why slow down on the turn and lead out on the river?

Re: First hand of the day, AA
Why not raise turn? What are you afraid of?
CO didn't raise pf. Might have 2-pair, but more often then not it's a hand like AQ, QT, or KQ. QJ would suck, but I would still raise this on turn. Interestingly inconsistent on the river. You are pretty sure that CO will raise. A good play is to bet to have CO raise (hopefully w/ a lesser hand) and potentially make SB fold to 2-bets w/ a possible better hand. If that's the case, I applaud you for the effort, but it's Party .5/1... SB won't fold 2 pair. It looked like you felt you were behind on turn and bet river? Hmmmmm..... |

Re: First hand of the day, AA
Bet the turn. CO could be pumping a flush draw on the flop. Check/call the river if raised on the turn. If CO wasn't pumping a draw you're probably beat.

Re: First hand of the day, AA
I wouldn't post a hand that I thought I played well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. The river bet is exactly the reason I posted this. I think I talked myself into the fact that he missed his flush draw and yet might have enough of the board to force him to call. Retarded, I know, but that's the whole point of my posts on 2+2.

I gotta use it everywhere.... So, let's just all pretend it's Party.
