River bluff/value raise

thesharpie · #1 12-11-2005, 11:07 PM

The whole table was tight, noone over 30VP$IP so far, we had 4 hands in a row folded around when I first sat down. BB looks like he's defending his BB quite a bit, though. He's 26/11/2.2 with 20% wtsd over 70 hands. FWIW I wasn't intending it to be a value raise, but I thought the chance I had the best hand and the chance of getting a better hand to fold might be profitable.

Can't he play a small pair this style?
Pot is small, I think you're investing way too much.

I fold to the turn c/r.

Yeah, I think he has a pair or better on this turn. No way he's folding the river with a hand that beats you. I'm folding to that turn c/r, but if you think he's capable of bluffing, then just call it down on the river.

Crypto doesn't show you mucked hands, but he called the raise and MHWG. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Wasn't really intending it to be a value raise, but there's obviously no value in the raise over teh long haul.

I figured I usually had 10 outs on the turn, sometimes 4, ocassionaly drawing dead and occasionaly having the best hand, although it'd be tough to call a river bet. I didn't bother looking at the effective outs since it takes me too long, but I thought it was sort of close.
