($11) top set vs coordinated board

Sorry, converter doesn't work with PT hand histories.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

Two hands prior, Villain (BB) got all-in preflop against SB. Both had marginal hands.

NL Texas Hold'em $10 Buy-in + $1 Entry Fee Level:3 Blinds(25/50)
Total number of players : 7
SB ( $985 )
BB ( $1235 )
HERO ( $715 )
MP1 ( $815 )
MP2 ( $1095 )
CO ( $835 )
BTN ( $2320 )
Blinds(25/50)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ]
HERO raises [150].
5 folds.
BB calls [100].
** Dealing Flop ** [ Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ]

** Dealing Turn ** [ 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ]
BB bets [375].
HERO is all-In.

Considering that villain is in big blind and could have nothing, could I make a weak flop bet to try to induce a bluff?

On turn, what should I have read Villain to have? (I can't see not calling, but the cards surprised me.)

Push the flop and this solves the problem. That said you have 10 outs to the river even if he does have the flush, all in on the turn.

Is this necessary? There has to be a better move. Personally, I prefer the way the OP played it. I think I'd play it the exact same way.

Perfectly played start to finish. Sucks he hit, and you didn't.

Hero has 750 chips preflop, he raises to 150

Now he has 600 chips and the pot is 275 and you want to do less than all in?

Hate it, he NEEDS to push this flop.

I think he played it perfectly. The thing is, he wants the flush draw to call on the flop. If he gives poor odds, he should welcome the call. He has the nuts on the flop and should do everything he can to trick a worse hand into putting as much money into the pot as possible.

Having 600 chips is only relevant if he plans to fold when raised. If he plans to do that, then betting half his stack makes no sense. Since he is inducing action, it makes perfect sense.

You played it fine.

#8 10-17-2005, 03:02 PM

Yup, I'd do it the exact same way.

I have no idea if this is a gimmick account, or what. I'm very confused.
