Working on upping my agression....

[djoyce003]

alright. Working on increasing my aggression and trying to make opponents have hands in order to beat me. Relatively new to the table. Villain plays way too many hands but I haven't seen anything donktastic at least up until now.

Converter is down so i'm typing it up.

Party 25NL

Hero - $25
villain - $17.

Hero is CO with 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain limps, Hero raises to $1.50
Villain calls $1.25.

Flop (~$3)J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero bets $3, Villain Calls $3

Turn (~$9) 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero bets $6, Villain calls $6

River (~$20)T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero Checks

Like it? Hate it? Standard? Who bets this river given the scary nature of the board?

Check behind on the turn

[djoyce003]

my standard default used to be to check behind on the turn as well....My thinking was that i'm doing this too much. If I don't fire another barrel at least some of the time it's pretty easy to pick off my continuation bets by just calling my flop bet and seeing what i do on the turn. I was hoping to fold out a 9 or J here with my bet by representing the king....given his stack size i'm not that afraid of a reraise as I'm calling given the various odds.

It looks fine. If you are going to fire a second barrel I like this hand to do it. Any club, 8 or Q puts you in a position to take down a nice sized pot. Checking down the river advertises your hand (you win if villain was on a draw) and it may get you later action from guys who are paying attention.

As long as this is something that you don't do every time, I think it is fine. At $200 and above you better be able to fire a second barrel or raise a turn with nothing but a draw. Might as well start practicing now when the right opportunity presents itself.
