hopefully you didnt run yourself into QQ or Axhh

this has been coming up a lot for me. when you raise the flop on a semi-bluff and check behind a blank turn, what's your general thought process on whether to try a river bluff?

Big_Jim · #4 09-28-2005, 07:57 PM

I can't talk for AZK, but for me, either some other scare card has to hit, or villian has to be pretty weak/tight.

In this example, the flush completed, which was perfect.

hmm...I think that villain was me.
nope, nevermind...just a very similar hand

HoldEmKillah · #6 09-28-2005, 08:37 PM

I agree. That [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] was perfect. I'm trying to put him on a hand here though and the only thing I can think of is AA-QQ...god I hope not QQ. But there is a chance you can get QQQ to fold: your line looks VERY convincing that your just rivered the nuts.

Big_Jim · #7 09-28-2005, 08:44 PM

Did you fold?

What did you have?

tommo · #8 09-28-2005, 08:59 PM

meh...I guess it wasn't that similar, this is the hand:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button ($473.80)
Hero ($616.20)
BB ($600)
UTG ($279)
MP ($617.40)
CO ($484.35)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $3.
2 folds, CO raises to $16, 1 fold, Hero (poster) calls $13, 1 fold.

Flop: ($38) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $36, CO calls $36.

Turn: ($110) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks.

River: ($110) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $60, CO calls $60.

Final Pot: $230

clearly I was just being stupid and this hand isn't similar at all. The villain had K6 of hearts

Strange, it looks just the same...

Big_Jim · #10 09-28-2005, 09:09 PM

Yeah.. that's not really the same at all.

BTW... 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is on the board.
