K7s blind steal

cab4656 · #1 04-01-2005, 07:58 PM

Both blinds are pretty tight, though I would have tried a steal with this hand anyway.

On the flop I was just peeling one off since the pot odds were nice.

My main question here is the river - is this worth a value bet? But if I screwed up somewhere else, please let me know.

I'm raising the flop, and betting the turn.

I definitely would've bet the turn. River bet would also be good.

I like smooth calling the flop, if he bets again you can raise (folding to a 3-bet), and check behind on the river. Since he didn't bet, you should.

Dude, you HAVE to bet the turn and bet the river here. You'll get crushed in SH games if you routinely leave bets on the table like that.

yep, this is my line against an aggressive guy. If he is overaggressive, capable of 3betting turn without pair I prefer calling as long as he is betting.

If he is capable of checkfolding turn, if I call flop, I would often raise flop and bet turn.

You are often ahead on this flop, its not a quesstion about having odds. Its a question of attacking and hoping u are ahead and folding if he shows u, u arent.

Hmm, maybe this is part of the reason I'm a marginal loser over 25k hands. Thanks a ton for the advice.

this is probably most of the reason. when he checks the turn, why are you checking behind? do you actually think you have the worst hand?
