Re: kk vs maniac, dangerous monotone flop

[ QUOTE ] He's also eager to play me since I got most of his stack five minutes before by calling a monster turn raise with just a weak flush draw, which came in [/ QUOTE ] May I ask why? Garland [/ QUOTE ]implied odds apparently... sounds like it worked out. |

Garland [/ QUOTE ] From the way he played it, I knew he had a set and therefore would pay off for an allin if I hit my running draw. I did the calculations afterwards and it turned out to be very close to 0 EV. So not my best play. The real answer is I was stuck for the day and needed a big score ;-) |

how i played it
I decided that if I got a lot of money in on the flop, that money would not be going in with a big edge, and I would get a bigger edge if I waited until a turn no-heart. So I checked. I figured I wanted a small pot if the heart came and maybe could check call or something. If I got a blank, I planned to ship it allin.
The turn was not the blankest of blanks. 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], making the board J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Villain led for 1/2 pot, $100, which I interpreted as some sort of weak pair hand. So I pushed. |

Re: how i played it
I like how you played this hand. Betting flop doesn't make sense to me, folding turn is weak, no point in flat calling turn, only option left is check flop, push turn. Nice hand.

Re: how i played it
I'm pretty sure this is exactly how I would have played it. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Re: how i played it
What if he didn't check the flop and he threw out some kind of bet, what do you do now? Call, raise or fold?
Just wondering if you considered that and if you did what you were thinking? Ed S. |

He was a slight favorite on the flop and about a 70-30 dog on the turn. |

Theoretical question...
What's your flop play if:
(a) Villian leads the pot or (b) Villian open-pushes? Garland |
