Value Checking My Nutz

Georgia Avenue · #1 08-25-2005, 11:39 AM

Perhaps the worst turn check of all time? We'll see...

½ NL Home game. Villain is rather LAG. Earlier I doubled him up pushing with AJ on board of 6266 when he called with 92x. Also earlier I made a 2/3 pot value bet on the river after hitting quads which got many oohs and ahhhs so that was a consideration, too.
Villain has $250, I have $400.

I have qj spades in the CO, two limpers (incld. Villain). I raise to 10. BB, both limpers call.

Flop 9sTs3x. Checked to me. Bet 25. Villain calls.

Turn: Ks. V says “Ooooh you flushed up huh?” checks. I………?

So I check. I know. But I really put him on a lone 10 or 9 here. My best hope is 2pair.

River: Qx

He checks again…
I……..

I would love him to have JT but that seems unlikely. 9T maybe but more likely A9 or AT. Push and pray? Pot? ½ pot? I don’t even want to tell you what I really did (hint: I didn’t exactly check).

In the first hand you pushed with nothing and villian called with a boat and you hit one of 7 cards to win...

In this situation bet just under pot to try and make it look like a steal

Just under pot? So like 70? I was thinking I blew the steal possibility by checking after his little "flushie" comment...

Also, I missed my seven outer in the earlier hand. He doubled up on me, not vice versa. So he's not steamy or anything.

Nothing huh?
So I guess it's a consensus. 2/3-pot sized vb. That's not at all what I suspected, but I bow to the forum's silent majority. I figgered: Bigger bet might be a bluff: he pushes...
Smaller bet might be a weak bluff if he hit his str8=he pushes (or just calls cryin)

Anyway, I bet 10$ he called and didn't show. Weak.

I was hoping he might get crazy on me and raise, but of course with 3rd pair on that board...you'd have to be REALLY crazy.
