congrats, but whats with your line on the turn?

Fantam · #4 06-29-2005, 03:53 PM

You missed a bet or two on the turn.

But hey, I am guessing that you didnt want to scare MP1 into folding and stopping you from drawing to your 1st Royal. LOL [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Next time you can raise the turn!

Heck, this is PokerRoom. It's +EV to make sure villain stays in the hand just to draw to the Royal. PokerRoom pays a $200 bonus for that hand, but they don't pay if villain folds before you hit it.

don't you love spending the time posting a rivered great hand where you think you played unbelievably well and are proud of....only to come back and find posts commenting how bad you played it? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

was gonna c/r the river. didn't want to lose him. decided to lead out b/c the board paired.

pryor15 · #8 06-29-2005, 04:08 PM

yeah, but what can you do? to make it even better, villain had QQ (cue evil laugh)

Grease · #9 06-29-2005, 04:11 PM

You gotta raise that flop.

Just calling HU in position with a really strong draw is gut-wrenching. You have to make a play for the pot at some point. Don't rely on luck.
