AQ River

Chris Daddy Cool · #1 07-15-2005, 01:20 AM

40/80 game last night, my first couple of orbits. i've played (and limped) exactly two hands thus far. so at this point i'm probably viewed as a weak/tightish player maybe.

i limp in EMP with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] folded to an active decent player on the button who raises. (he will do this with a lot of hands to isolate) sb folds. bb folds. I 3-bet. He 4-bets. I 5-bet. He calls.

flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet. He calls.

turn: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check. He bets. I raise. He 3-bets. I call.

river: A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

How aggro is this guy? Is he the sort that would 3 bet with an overpair on the turn? Would he 3 bet w/ A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the turn? In my normal game, this 3 bet means a set, no less. Although I don't play well enough to fold top two in a pot this big, i'm not betting out.

However, if the villian is capable of 3betting with the above mentioned hands, I would be inclined to bet/call. You'd hate to give KK a free showdown (although that hand might fold), and I'd rather 1 or 2 bets go in on the river then 2 or 3, after all the strength he's shown.

Bet the river and call a raise.

I really don't see the point of checking the turn.

only hand that your going to be ahead of that will bet the turn will be AJ or AK or <TT if he's a decent player and has a 4betting hand preflop.

any other hand your behind and your checkraise is just costing you another bet to draw.

I would've bet the turn, called a raise... would've made this hand a lot clearer.

anyhow bet river, call raise!

Considering CDC's image right now, I think this guy will bet any two cards he holds here. I like the checkraise.

I like a check call on the river.

If he's decent he has to have JJ here, it would also suck to be shown KT of spades.

where was this game played?
i think you check/call the riv probably, but maybe folding would be extremely expert.

folding with his image would be extremely bad.

I'd be very suprised if this guy turned over KTs. He isn't 3 betting with that here with a profile of 'decent' player.
