Default Re: Passive Fun with a Set (check my autopilot)

In response to the check/raise flop question. It's read dependant; I think there are some players where this is OK with. I agree though that in general it probably shouldn't be done.

As for c/r the river. The reason you haven't been played back at is because the flush card just came. A flush draw may or may not raise the flop, and a donkbet on the turn isn't that great either. Him betting here can't tell us it has a flush, but we can't be sure he doesn't. Re-raising him says "4-bet me with your flush please" risking the raise on the river isn't worth it. There's also 3 to a straight out there (reasonable card straights too). MUBS, maybe, but I don't like 3-betting this river at all.

what makes you think it's spewing? we haven't been pushed back once and he only bet after we had checked.

MP1 didn't have a flush to push back with until now. Most players don't know to raise their draws. If I make my flush on the river and the guy I was planning to raise just checks, I'm going to have to bet it myself. I think we have enough equity to call but I don't know that we're ahead. I'm just interested to hear arguments.

hero should have just bet the river. c/c seems really weak. if we are going to c/c and someone bets behind us i think we can raise and fold to a 3bet since we're getting paid off often enough from an A or K. But i'm not convinced w/ the c/r but i dont like the c/c really, however i dont know exactly why.

Read dependant, but I probably at least consider check-raising this flop.

Where is my bet going to come from? This would be a bad flop to let get checked through. I think betting out is better here..it is for value.

i dont like a flop c/r either.

I don't like raising this from the bb. This is hand that is going to very difficult to play post flop especially OOP. I think you need to lead the river, costs you one extra bet if someone has caught a flush, but I think you leave money on the table when they don't. Might even get checked through.

I'm sure this is somewhat results oriented, but I think a c/r on the flop would run off at least one caller. I don't have a problem calling the river any more than I'd have a problem check/calling with 2nd pair after leading the whole time.

The only callers we chase off are drawing almost dead in the first place, so they can hang out and sip some punch in our pot. Anyone with a strong draw such as a flush or JT is going exactly nowhere.

irishpint - I agree, I like a bet/call. I have no problem with two bets on the river, I just think that ours should be the first and that if anyone else bets or raises we need to call it. Unless of course it goes bet-raise-3bet, in which case, toodles.

i won't raise 99 in the big blind until i have a read on the players.

i think this is just a routine river value bet. no reason to check this river.

Exactly my point. Let the dead hands stay. I don't want them chased off.

Oh, your post wasn't exactly clear that you felt chasing off a caller was a BAD thing. Alright then, carry on.
