Ok. A semi interesting hand from last nights tourney.
I've been lagging it up early and losing. Especially to Harv, who, for those who don't know, is a strong SS player who is obviously aware of my play and taking advantage.

Hero is SB with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Shadow29 limps. Harv72b limps. Hero completes. BB (ragstoriches? who are you?) checks.

4 players and 4sb to the flop.

FLOP: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero bets. Rags raises. Shadow folds. Harv calls. I 3-bet. Both call.

3 to the TURN for 6.5 BB: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets. Rags folds. Harv calls.

2 to the RIVER for 8.5 BB: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero ??? and puts villian on what hands??

ps. Shadow - will you make me a celebratory avatar?

What's the blind level here, and how does it compare to your stack? If you're still comfortable, I'd be inclined to check and fold. If you're getting low, I'd be more inclined to take a risk and bet. I think villain has either 76 or a couple of hearts that didn't pair with the board.

I just call the flop raise check/call the turn and check/fold the river I think.

Given your line I'd check the river and depending on stack sizes and reads consider calling with the nut no pair [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I can't see him calling a bet with jack high or folding anything that beats you and made it to the river.

Since we beat these hands and they'll both likely fold if we bet I would consider check/calling (we reallly don't mind if it gets checked through either) and we might induce a bluff.

oh yeah... forgot about this.

blinds were 30/60, so it was early.

my stack was about 800. (half starting size)
his was above 1500, maybe as high as 2000. i forget.

his stack seems big enough to call you. the turn card sux as i'd probably put him on Ax-[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

can't see him limping Ax [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] preflop.
or not raising the flop.
or not raising the turn.

KT? wild guess.

@bsolute_luck · #9 08-05-2005, 01:32 PM

yeah i'd agree preflop he'd hopefully raise, but i merely said what i did because of his read on you. since you said you doubted it though, i guess i'm wrong [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i thought 76, but i would have thought he'd have raised the flop too. i don't know what couple hearts he'd play like this as i thought he'd have a busted flush draw, but the K is out, you have the Queen. that leaves JT[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is out too. J9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is possible.
