Re: My one interesting hand in a short 6.78 VPIP session (A8s SB)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I think without betting the river you're not giving him that final chance to fold and it also exposes your hand, showing weakness, that gives him a chance to bet hoping to get you to fold to his bluff. [/ QUOTE ] Good. That was my plan. The river is a scare card, putting 4 to a straight on the board. [/ QUOTE ] If that was your plan to have him bluff at you then why did you just call and not raise? Makes no sense to me... [/ QUOTE ] Because our raise is only called by a hand that beats us.

Unless he's hyper-aggressive or just very very very curious, he's folding. What did that raise accomplish? I don't win any extra money out of it. What happens if he's not bluffing and I check-raise him? He'll probably call. Since he's not bluffing, he probably has ace-high beat. Since he probably has ace-high beat, I'm probably losing two BB on the river instead of just one. So I can only do worse by check-raising his bluff. Therefore, calling is better.

Your line looks okay...but I might have just checked and called the entire way (or at least 4th and 5th if he called my flop bet). Brad [/ QUOTE ] Check-calling might be okay, I guess. I don't really like giving him the option of taking free cards if he's holding something like 97s. I think I would rather bet and hope he'll fold (at least on the flop), rather than check and play chicken with the turn and river cards.
