follow me through a hand with many decisions (part 1)

[mike l.]

you decide to raise the turn and utg 3 bets it. cutoff folds, sb calls, and you call.

the river is 3c giving you a wheel.

sb checks. should you:

bet or go for the checkraise.

[steveyz]

Easy call for flush value alone.

[ QUOTE ]
the flop was checked through.

now the turn comes: [4h Qh As] 2s

sb bets into you! what's your play?

fold
call
raise

please state why and be detailed. again do not ask questions about how sb utg or cutoff play. that is unknown. all we know are there numbers on the screen. isnt online fun?

when youre done move on to part 4!

I call as I don't care much to be 3-bet by someone who may very well have missed a flop checkraise, and there aren't many hands I think UTG/CO can have here that can call two bets, let alone one.

I checkraise as long as UTG's river aggression is 1.4 or higher. He's usually not putting anyone on a 5 here.

[steveyz]

Go for the check-raise unless UTG is checking a set of Aces here, which I doubt unless he's extremely weak.

[mike l.]

ok so it's a boring thread i realised that now that im done.

i might be up at hp tomorrow why dont you climb out of your cave and say hi you big phony.

[flawless_victory]

id raise the turn, but its real close... calling seems fine, but it wouldnt really be a disaster to get threebet with that draw and i like your current pair of aces just fine.
if someone behind you picked up a spade draw or has JT or something i want them to fold, or pay.

[flawless_victory]

checkraise/cap, duh.

JT usually won't be calling but you wouldn't mind if he did, as he's making a mistake here (getting 5:1 with a gutshot). I get what you're saying about [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] draws but I don't think they are going to be out there in the hands of UTG or CO often enough to raise when you will inevitably have to call a 3-bet.

If the pot were larger I like a raise much more here, FWIW.
