A6o in BB

[kidpoker22]

I don't see the bettor on the turn being able to bet the river without a hand that could beat A little. With two callers on the turn, he can't possibly think Q's are good. I fold on the river if it's bet--depending on my line on the bettor.

"You can't find a bet on the flop for one small bet with five SB in the pot? You dont think everyone will fold to your bet one out of 5 times?"

But if I were to bet out on the flop from the big blind any time the pot is five-handed, as you suggest, wouldn't I be increasingly more likely to get called or raised?

Tommy,

I think this hand is really interesting, and I am curious your play if:

...the river was a black 6

...the river was a brick

...the same river and SB folds to button's bet.

ohhhhhhhhh, didn't see that. my bad.

Why?

[Michael J. Sykes]

I will not argue with your flop check. Would you have been inclined to check-raise a bet from the last position player?

I will not argue with your turn play...that was an ugly card.

On the river, I would likely bet and fold to a raise (but not against particularly frisky foe). Putting aside metagame considerations, under what conditions (if any) would betting the river be better than checking?

I disagree.

why? its nice to take it down on the flop that small percentage of the time, but what do you do on that turn when you get called in 2-3 places or get raised even? Either you're slightly ahead or horribly behind and drawing to 3 outs or less. I don't undertand how betting into this flop is a good idea.

Tommy -

Do you fold the flop for 1 bet or a bet and call back to you? I think you'd call.

Do you fold to a bet if a spade hits the turn after getting checked around? I think you'd call.

A spade draw wouldn't have folded to your flop bet, but do you think the gut shot would have folded with an A and fl draw out there? I have no idea but guess he might have.

If you had decided to call it down if it's just a bet or a bet and call back to you, would betting out and possibly getting raised in an attempt to get h/u with you be that bad?

I can see the check on that flop, but also see why betting it wins it for you too.

tommy you can't make posts like this anymore...
I mean.... you have to post more on feel and intuition.... if you can describe that on paper moreso than the cards that would bring your posts out so much more...

Forget the cards... you are beyond the cards....
