Default RESULTS

Forgot i posted this before I left for holidays.

I suspect this hand might be too read-based... I had a fairly good read on this player after playing lots of pots with him and generally paying good attention. I should have gone with my read and raised the turn to something like ~$275 and not put in any more money -- as a sort of pre-emptive blocking bet/ protecting my hand against a draw. I wouldn't like to face a pot bet on most rivers since he could be holding a lot of draws.

In the hand I thought for a short while and called.


River: ($340) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $350</font>

I thought for a while, at this point I got a gut-feeling telling me probably wouldn't bet a missed draw here, but he might have a king... I dunno... i used my timer and then folded. He showed 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Yuck.

TY for the responses.

I don't think you should beat yourself up for failing to protect against a 2 outer. although you should consider whether this guy is overbetting a heart river as well.

Default Re: 400nl AK turn decision vs. deep opponent

Raise, fold to a 3-bet, check behind on river. I'm only just getting to this long thread now and have only read OP so sorry if this is just repetition.

Edit: OK, I read the thread now and completely agree with the people who say to raise and not put in another dime. It protects against draws (5 outers are very likely here and they are worth protecting against if it's not going to cost you anything, which it won't in this case) and it gets good value from weaker kings without exposing your entire stack. And if he played a monster tricky like this, he will often try to c/r the river to complete the coup de grace.

And a bet that can fold a better hand or get called by a worse hand is called a "two way bet" not a "semi-bluff kinda".
