QQ with paired board

jskills · #1 03-03-2005, 02:23 AM

I admittedly was confused by my opponent's play. He tended to attempt to slowplay big hands and I did see him bluff at a couple of pots. I had also seen him cold call preflop raises with small pocket pairs. He was a frowny (slightly loose preflop, aggressive preflop raising, passive postflop) after 50 or so hands.

1 fold, Hero raises, 2 folds, MP2 calls, 2 folds, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls, Button raises, BB folds, Hero 3-bets, MP2 folds, Button caps, Hero calls.

I felt pretty certain he did not hold a ten.

Final Pot: 10.75 BB

Why not bet the river? If he wanted to slow play he would leave the raising for the more expensive street. Therefore he most likely does not have a ten due to the flop betting and the turn call (and not a raise). I'd bet this river.

What about the flop or turn action led you to believe he didn't have a ten?

I think you gave too much action on the flop. If you're ahead, you're way ahead. If anybody's got a ten, you're hosed. In other words, I wouldn't mind MP2 coming along, and I don't want to barf chips all over the Button if he's holding trips.

I call the flop and turn and probably check/call the river.

You're saying this because you saw the check.

Well I felt pretty certain until all the flop action, then I wasn't sure.

Ah, since the comment was placed after the flop action I thought it was what you thought upon seeing the flop action.

Villan showed down 66. Weird line he took no? Admittedly, it did mess my mind up a little.

Couldn't really bet the river when he bet the turn could I?

I was in call down mode and confused honestly ...
