I would put toro on overcards here, making it a fold for me.

Also, why would you make a play like this more often later in an MTT, when your buyin is worth substantially more? the later on in a tournament, and the less variance i'll look for.

with just a naked straight draw i'd probably flat call his flop bet and hope to make up for the poor odds on the flop by extracting on the turn (when I hit).

Fine, but

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] This was not a naked straight draw. It was a straight draw plus two overcards. Just as a flush draw plaus two overcards is a lot stronger than just a flush draw, the overcards greatly increase the value of the straight draw.

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Check-raising may still be a better play than check-calling even without the overcards. In fact, in many games, check-raising with air is profitable. Having a few outs adds a lot of value to the folding equity.

if I put him on KK+ im about 35% equity, 1.75 to 1 isnt quite enough, so I fold. I wasnt at the table so im sure there were other factors, dont get all defensive bro.

Didnt mean to come on tha tharsh..

you mispoke in your thing which is what confused me..

you said two overcards, so i was thining like AQ or Ak.... but you meant overpair.. which is real different.

LethalRose · #25 10-05-2005, 10:04 PM

ah yes my bad, i meant overpair.

to think you have no FE 6-handed is ridicolous

[/ QUOTE ]
No, if he actually has KK or AA, then you have 35% equity or less. Apparently, what you put him on may have no relation to the actual range of hands with which he will raise 3 off the button, then bet the flop. Six-handed, there is no early position, so throw out your ideas of an UTG raise.

#29 10-05-2005, 10:51 PM

hey, at least you had a good hand, I got caught on a bluff reraise when exit held 10's, and I almost hit the fold button too. Short handed and short stacked, figured he could just be making a play at my blind.

That'll teach you...

i never make plays at blinds, i always have hands.
