Re: A hand from my first Party session
[ QUOTE ]
This hand is interesting, tho, in that it highlights the difference in strength between a set and trips. Give Hero 55, and make the board A57, and I'm capping all the way through the river. [/ QUOTE ] Great point!

Villan, however, clearly disagrees. Given that he's unknown, I tend to take that at face value and slow down once he raises my bet on the turn.

[/ QUOTE ] That is an excellent point. If I'd had a set, I would have capped all the way without question. For those that are interested, I did in fact win the hand, but I wasn't happy with my play at all. I was torn between berating myself for being weak and not extracting more value, or berating myself for 3-betting the turn basically due to tilt. Based on the responses here, and my own thoughts, I'm pretty sure calling down from the turn raise is the right play. I used to think I didn't have a problem with tilt. Now I am realizing that the real reason I wasn't tilting was because I didn't care about the money. This is the first limit I've played where it's starting to hurt a bit more to see "my" pot go to someone else.

Think back. How many times in the past month have you played against somebody who didn't raise AA/KK preflop? For me, that number is in the tens, easily. Add in the possibility that this player has some mis-conceived notion about position ("don't ever raise anything preflop when you're under the gun," for instance), and when the flop caps I think AA is a strong possibility. In which case, his preflop play worked just the way he wanted it to.

[/ QUOTE ] Oh, it's not a default read for an unknown. But, given how aggressive your Villan became, I think this is a case where you have to expand your range of possible hands, rather than reducing it.
