River call at PS NL400 with deep stacks
This guy was overly agressive and acumulated a very big stack. I wasnt very worried about a straight, only about a set, and i thought he wouldnt bet so much with a set so I felt he maybe had TJ and missed or just some lower pair wich he knew couldnt win.
Could I have called this?

Re: River call at PS NL400 with deep stacks
So he limp-called your small raise pre-flop from the blinds, lead into you on a raggy flop, check-raised turn and then nearly potted the river. One pair isn't usually good with that action - even in a blind war.
Reading the hand history, I had him on 67, 89, 9Tc or a set. I'd have [censored] myself when he tabled THAT straight though. mj |

Re: River call at PS NL400 with deep stacks
First, raise more preflop. I've seen you muscle bigger steals than that and I'm sure he has as well so get more in now.
Why did you flat-call the flop? Were you afraid of a three-bet? It doesn't seem like it as you weren't afraid of a turn check/raise. At what point did you decide you were ahead? I felt that once you made the turn call in the hand you were comitted to call the river bet, before he even threw it out. Why else would you flat-call on the turn as well? Bad beat but I think you played it too passively. When you flat-called the turn I think you made your decision to play it through. |

Re: River call at PS NL400 with deep stacks
yeah on the turn I said to myself that I'd call the river if a really scarry card didnt appear.
I played it passively on the flop/turn to mix it up I guess. I dont know exactly. i dont make my decisions based on a structured hand analisys, it's more like an instinct/gut decision |

This is a thinly-veiled bad beat post. Maybe if you sucked less at poker things like this wouldn't happen to you. Consider re-raising or folding the turn next time, or perhaps even killing yourself.
