to the turn: $575 in the pot, al has about 4.25 left and you have about 6.25 left.

you bet 1500 blind into the 575 pot and all pushes on a board of

AK65. would al do this with a naked ace? if you bet blind, you could have a bluff, why would he want to set you in when he could easily call with his hand and let you bet the river.

he either really wants you to fold or he really wants you to call here and im leaning towards the latter. think about how he'd play this with his different range of holdings. would any random bluff hand bet the flop here into a known checkraiser (apparantly)? would he then push another 2.75 into the pot on top of your 1.5?

i honestly think his hand range here is AK/AA/KK/55/66/maybe A5s/A6s if you've been opening way light, and maybe, just maybe AQ/AJ given your image.

id think that on teh turn you are virtually crushed. 3.5 or so in the pot and you have another 2.75 to call. so just over 2:1. given the range and "outs' you have + the chance you're outs are no good i think make this a fold.

HOWEVER, the bet on the turn is quite large and its one of those monster/air type bets. if he thinks you've been nutso enough to bluff this far then his only real option is to push, but i dont see a top player thinking like that assuming thats what he is. if, however, you've gotten him into a state for which that play would not be out of the question then yes i agree with the call.

as of right now though, i vote fol.d

i really dont like the way you played this hand, but i'm assuming this is because you know something about al krux that i dont. With your usual image i'd think you make a decent amount off of AQ/AJ w/ almost any line you take (except this one), however if Krux is the type who likes to take stands (which i assume he is since you called his push) than your line is probably good. Were you hoping for a push when you bet this turn? Also why not just check/raise, and lead the turn? I really would like some info on Krux, i know he is semi-famous from the WSOP, but i dont know anything about how he plays.

He is pretty bad, and overvalues top pair waaaaay to much, especially against me.
I flopped a set and moved in 3x pot on a rainbow flop and he called me with TPTK instantly.

I check, Krux bets 200, i call, and bet 1500 in the dark.

Who the eff check/calls then bets 1.5x pot in the dark??? Only thabadguy I guess. LMAO. Great line considering your image and read of Krux overvalueing top pair hands. I hope the river wasn't an A or K.

LOL!
Thats exactly wat his reaction was!
Infact the whole table was like...wtf is this kid doing.
Musta been the booze talking.

any results? im curious as to what krux actually had.

#10 11-08-2005, 11:40 AM

given your image i also like the CR flop.

Curious as to what the blind turn bet does. The obvious sign is that is shows strength. Would krux pick up on that and decide you're doing that purposely as a bluff?

What I don't understand is why he pushes there? If he has you crushed (or at least thinks his AQ or AJ is ahead) why not smooth call and let you bet again on the river?
