looks/smells like a blocking bet

kagame · #1 06-29-2005, 06:05 AM

i know i played the flop like a wuss but i didnt know what a raise would accomplish and im in position, and yes im pretty sure he turned a pair

so is this a blocking bet on the river and/or does he have a king? will he call alot of the time with said King considering the hearts?

thanks, been reevaluating my play lately, so all help is appreciated

It seems the turn is one of two things.. trying to price himself in for a turn (which the [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] helped him) or trying to get a raise. Either way I think you are dead on the turn.

i cant be dead on the turn i have a nut draw

and like i said, i thought he turned a pair, maybe a straight, noone plays a flush draw like this

By dead I meant behind, not drawing dead. Poor choice of words.
