Default Re: Play from the blinds: T7o

Yeah, it is new and I think I am going to keep track from now on no this how often it works to give me a way to "study" I didnt used to go as low as 23o at first but then when I thought that I would do with T7o or 65s with the main reason because I think he will fold not that I will hit, why not do any two? Ill try and get like a 500 sample after this month and tell you how off I was.

Forget it splash, he thinks he's found the answer to all SNG play and won't listen when he's told something is a leak or -$EV, he just will keep doing it anyway.

His money, his choice.

You and splash have both told him it's -$EV, but neither of you have told him why.

I'm pretty sure that it's -$EV because when people realize what he is doing, they will start reraising PF and calling (or raising) post-flop. His play may be working because this is how some people slow-play strong hands at the lower buy-ins. Once people catch on to what he's doing, it won't work nearly as often.

They aren't that smart. However, they are also not smart enough to realize he is slowplaying and then fold, so it's a wash.

Scuba, as to this hand I would give up the bluff on the river because you are getting called by his ace. Any other river and it's fine.

When bluff calling the flop oop, I think you have to lead the turn.

Okay, that's what I was thinking. So, by this measure, make a smallish bet on the turn, and a big bet on the river?

No, I'd bet 3/4 pot on the turn and that's the last chip I put into this pot. I don't think villian can call that much on the turn without a K and fold the river enough to make it profitable.

Agreed. If you were going to bluff, that would be the street.

FWIW, I like raising or completing PF but would probably just bet this flop - fewer cards for him to have caught, and at a 33 he won't call you with less than A high.
