Re: Keeping the Lead in the Blinds
[ QUOTE ]
Meanwhile any A, 8, or good T is beating us. So do low PPs, weak Ts, and 5s really outnumber As, strong Ts, or 8s here? My guess is no because a 5 seems so unlikely. I say check/call the river. [/ QUOTE ] If he has an Ace or 8, he will be betting the river when checked to anyhow so how does check-calling favor bet/folding in that aspect? |

The only other random paired cards that we beat and will call are weak tens and fives. [/ QUOTE ] we beat no tens. i check call this river. there are plenty of missed straights or turned flush draws that he can bluff with. |

we beat no tens. [/ QUOTE ] we kick the hell out of T9, T7, T6, T5. I've seen all of these and more called out of the bb when the sb opens. |

When you say Ace high, you mean something like K9 that counts as A-high because of the Ace on board? [/ QUOTE ] yup. should have been more specific, but many good high cards hands will call here.

I say check/call the river. [/ QUOTE ] while its true that many aces are beating us, I'd say we can pretty comfortably rule out AK-AT, A8, and most overpairs - as they would have found a raise waaaay before the river. probably preflop or on the flop. that's 1/4 of the aces right there. the only one pair tens that beat us are QT and KT. Two pair tens either raise that flop or that turn. An 8 improved on the turn, so it couldn't have raised pf or on the flop without another piece. I usually see an immediate turn raise, but a river raise is not unreasonable. so when its our turn on the river we're likely up against -the lower 3/4 of the ace range -the upper half of the eight range (as 83o probably folds pf) -the middle 3/4 of the ten range (as big tens will raise pf or on the flop, and crap ten probably fold pf) -a pp 99 or lower -some crap king high hand that's looking us up -a busted draw (like 79[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]) that will probably fold I think the portion of that range that both calls and would check through if we gave it a chance is significant enough that we have to bet it. I also hate calling the raise, because the river is the blank of all blanks and it stinks of a slowplayed turn. people play poker so they can call. Give them a bet to call with.
