Default Set of 2\'s

How do you guys like this one? The villian in this hand is terrible. I almost pushed all in at the river, but I really didnt want him to fold. I was pretty sure he would call another $150 if he wasnt on the flush draw.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) converter

MP1 ($129.7)
MP2 ($573.4)
MP3 ($374)
Hero ($605.1)
Button ($606.8)
SB ($110)
BB ($854.9)
UTG ($728.6)
UTG+1 ($191)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
UTG calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls $4, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $4, Button calls $4, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB checks.

Flop: ($22) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $20</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $60</font>, Button folds, BB folds, UTG calls $40.

Turn: ($142) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $100</font>, UTG calls $100.

River: ($342) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $150</font>, UTG calls $150.

Final Pot: $642

Out of curiosity, what do you put UTG on? He calls your bets on a really weak ass board, what did he limp UTG that makes a hand here? Seems like 9T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a possiblity, but I'm not seeing much else, so I think you got the max.

I did almost push, but I really didnt think he would call another $425 or so on the end.

He had Q9. Some of these guys are really bad

sometimes the worst players like to try to snap off bluffs in spots where noone would really be bluffing.

Agreed, but the question is this. Which is higher EV?

I had about $425 left.
Lets say he'll call $150 every time
Would he really call $425, more than once out of 3 times with that crap?

Hard to tell, but maybe.

i think it would be a mistake to assume he would call $150 every time

with a hand he will call $150 with 100% of the time id say hed call $450 much more than 33.3% of the time

make sense?
