Re: Huuuge River Overbet
I agree with the above. I personally think he had a jack since he did not show his hand and wanted to keep people thinking he is a little nuts. It is possible he made the boat but I think against someone playing this many hands, and considering your very tight image you need to call here.

Re: Huuuge River Overbet
EZ fold. You said he played strait forward. You put 25 bucks in the pot, now you are gonna put in 175$ more? Just hope that next time he does this you have a hand you can call with.
Pretty much the only time to call this is if you have a strong read or you have watched the guy get out of line at the table. |

Re: Huuuge River Overbet
I'd probably fold here. I've seen a lot of bets like this from someone who has the boat and hopes you just made your flush. There should be better opportunities to take this donk's money.

Re: Huuuge River Overbet
I think I'd call with the ace-high flush here, but not the king-high.
Boat's possible...but the jack-x combinations are all pretty weak. Of course, the odds of him holding 2 spades isn't all that great either, but I've seen it happen. Personally, if I have trips, and a 3rd suit comes down, I'm not gonna be betting huge into the hand. More than likely he has a flush or boat of some type. |

Re: Huuuge River Overbet
Some good advice: do NOT chase flushes / straights into paired flops -- you could already be drawing dead or could be up against an opponent that 1) has a MADE HAND and 2) has MORE outs than you (trips drawing to a boat = 10 outs vs your 9 outs to a flush)....

I'd have let this one go 1st chance I had -- there's ALWAYS another hand coming........ [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: Huuuge River Overbet
After reading this thread, I played the following hand (1/2NL Pokerstars):
I start the hand with $355, opponent has over $300 also. I'm in the BB w/ K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. There are 4 limpers around to me...I raise to $11. UTG limper calls, everyone else folds. Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I bet $15 and he raises to $298. What could he have? Maybe a set, but why the hell would he raise so much? After coming close to not following my own advise about folding, I finally come to my senses and lay it down. I type "nice bet, i guess"...he shows me Q9 for the flopped nut straight. Then he types "i didn't want you sucking out a flush on me". Stunning. |
