a loopy logy little hand
Five-handed $80-160 at Bay101. I was under the gun. I raised. The cutoff folded. The button called. The small blind folded. The big blind called. Three players.
The flop was 9 9 9. The big blind checked, I checked, and the button checked. The turn was a 5. The big blind bet, I called, and the button called. The river was a 4. The big blind checked, I bet, the button called, and the big blind folded. I showed K K. The button showed K 9. |

There still must be a typo, how does he just call on the end with the pure nuts?

Re: a loopy logy little hand
Seeing the button play this hand puts the whole debate about the merits of Tommy's play in perspective for me. Should he check KK on the flop? Who cares? Game selection is where it's at, the rest is just details. -eric |

Re: a loopy logy little hand
tommy could you please explain your flop check?
i like betting because any A or pocket pair will almost always at least call that flop having called preflop shorthanded. why did you decide to check? |

[/ QUOTE ] That and you also make the pot bigger so they get tempted to again call on the turn with 33, AJ or whatever. I dont get it either. Do you do this because you like to check behind a lot of flop that you miss, so its more of a metagame thing to keeps you from being robbed on 4th in later hands? |

[/ QUOTE ] Which is cool and all Tommy, but i really think a bet works better here, especially when a 55-77 type hand gets frisky and puts in too many bets. Maybe you had a specific read to the contrary, but i definitly think betting here makes more in the long run. |
