Re: Hands from the WSOP (Hand #5)
So you're telling me that B called off his entire stack on this one? Or close to it if I can still add, 1200 + 4200 + 11400 = 16800 and he started with 18k?
On what I can only assume is AK/KQ with a 4 straight on the board? With blinds of 200/400 he's hardly desperate, and I have to believe he'd play a set more aggressively than this. Overall I hate this hand. Drink More, RedRum

Re: Hands from the WSOP (Hand #5)
If i want to bluff this pot generally I'd rather call the turn and lead the river here. Also, if player A wants to take the pot down he'd do better to bet the flop. The only way this play really makes sense to me is if A picked up that B was weak by the way B bet the turn. Also I can't see B having anything but a big ace (maybe two pair, but I think more likely he couldnt get off AQ).

Re: Hands from the WSOP (Hand #5)
I need to clarify my last post, since my brain skipped about 3 steps before my fingers typed. The only reason to cr the turn is to bluff out a better A (all the while having 7 emergency outs). Otherwise calling is clearly the superior play (a hand that might be good with 7 outs to improve to beat a hand like AQ, AJ). I think the best play for A is to call the turn and blocking bet the river. Hopefully we will get some hands like A10 to fold and also make it impossible for a hand we have beaten to push us off the pot (since A7 can't call a big bet but might very well be the best hand).

Re: Hands from the WSOP (Hand #5)
Im not sure if im following your posts completely, but if i am i have a couple of questions:
1) What made hands are checking the flop, check-calling the turn, then leading the river? I feel like the flop check is really wierd and kind of cripples you for the rest of the hand, if u are trying to set up a play later. 2)[ QUOTE ] also make it impossible for a hand we have beaten to push us off the pot (since A7 can't call a big bet but might very well be the best hand). [/ QUOTE ] What hands is A7 better than? 3) [ QUOTE ] The only reason to cr the turn is to bluff out a better A (all the while having 7 emergency outs [/ QUOTE ] Isn't this exactly what we want to do? or maybe fold out a medium pair by raising the turn and betting the river? It doesn't seem like pairs will fold if you check call the turn and lead the river.
