QQ and it gets capped with little of my help

Opponents all seem fairly reasonable. I just sat down. All streets are debatable (maybe not turn.) Thanks for the imput.

I like all streets actually

Bet the river.

He capped it PF. Or doesn't that matter?

Grease · #5 06-26-2005, 03:43 PM

Wait, he didn't.

Yeah, betting the river may have been the optimal road. Not sure yet though.

You're going to get a lot of skewed replies because you showed Villian's action on the river.

I don't think there's really anything too interesting about this hand. It's standard. Nice Hand.

Sorry my hands suck.

I keep trying to get interesting hands on, but they're interesting to me for about 2 min after I play them.

Ah...I missed that too. Was thinking river Villian was MP1.

You said "Opponents all seem fairly reasonable". MP3 cold-called a PF cap and has played overly passive to the river. This Villian is not what I'd consider "fairly reasonable".

I think you read likely wasn't really very good in which case I don't think your river check is so bad. In the future - I think you should be aggressively value-betting rivers against this guy.

For the record - I never said it "sucked".

Now that I realize my mis-read of the MP Villians - I think your river action is a bit more debatable. The real issue, IMO, is that your read doesn't seem very good.

I thought that this opponent was the one that capped PF, so I made that first mistake. I only had around 8 PT hands, and so far no one was ridiculous.

Had I known it was the guy who called the cap cold, I would have bet the river.
