I almost folded
Background info:
Villan is reasonably donkish for this level. Has made quite a few blunders to build his stack. Generally calls on draws. Against a good opponent I would fold here just about everytime . Everything about the way this hand was handled by a tricky villan would scream, AA, KK or flopped set. In this case I figured it was pretty likely I was ahead. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter UTG ($110.09) MP ($221.17) Button ($112.05) Hero ($151.25) BB ($61.49) Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.50. UTG calls $1, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $3</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero (poster) raises to $6.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG folds, MP calls $4. Flop: ($16) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $12</font>, MP calls $12.

Re: I almost folded
AsKs bites you on the river, eh.
I pay off these kinds of clowns far too often, so I don't feel qualified to speak here. |

Re: I almost folded
i like a little more like $30 on the turn- defining your hand makes this easier on yourself. $21 just feels weak. when he comes over the top of weak 1/2 pot bet on the turn, his possible hand range is wider than what it would be if he came over the top of another 3/4 pot bet. i think you made this a tougher decision than it could have been.

[/ QUOTE ] This advice seems overly theoretical. Villan showed 88 for a turned set and I managed to get my whole stack in on the turn. At the time I figured I was ahead to either 1010 or JJ. It turns out I am wrong I have been running to an overwhelming amount of sets lately and have not been getting paid off on my good hands...end rant. |
