Re: JTs against a loose passive
My initial reaction was that checking the flop would have been best, however thinking about it more we have ~12 outs (im only giving 0.5 outs to a T) which means about 12 * 4 = 48% equity.
Therefore isnt a bet on this flop a bet for value? On the river, i think its very unlikely we are going to get called by a hand that we beat (if he has a J we are spliting most of the time). Its a pity we dont have any AF number for villian..but if he is a tad aggro i would go for a check/call and hopefully induce a bluff from a busted str8 draw. After all we only have to win ~17% of the time to turn a profit, and i can see villian having a str8 draw more than that. Against a passive opponent a check/fold is best. |

Re: JTs against a loose passive
first up i check the flop,
1) when you hit your straight you want other players in 2) it will give you better information on the vils respective ranges 3) someone else will probably bet it anyway 4) you are probably behind without the equity to value bet im gonna go out on a limb tho and say check/call the river. if he has a K there is a good chance you would have heard from him by now, and a Q or J most likely checks behind on the river for fear you are getting fancy with trips (only at this level of course) besides even if another J does decide to bet it is highly likely a split. i think a bet from a player that plays this many hands is much more likely to indicate a bluff from a naked ace or missed T, remember he is playing a lot so hands like T8 or T7s are all possible. definitely he is bluffing more than 1 in 7 anyway. so yeah, check flop, check/call river |

Re: JTs against a loose passive
I kept going and bet the river, he mucked. Guessing he missed his straight.

I don't think I'm betting this. Getting raised on this flop blows. Check/fold. |

So why not check the flop with the intent of raising if it's 1 bet back? It is likely that the bettor will call one bet back. Then check the turn, gambling that the flop bettor will also check for fear of being checkraised. If it works, you get to see the river for 1 BB. If the turn is a blank and the flop bettor bets again, you can be much more sure you're beat and fold. [/ QUOTE ] The problem (or more accurately, one problem) with this logic is that you won't be able to fold if villain bets a turn blank because of your straight outs. [ QUOTE ] Because hero has a lot of outs, he really wants to see both the turn and the river. [/ QUOTE ] |
