6M: A6o - inducing a bluff

numeri · #1 11-13-2005, 12:43 PM

This might be standard. Villain here is ridiculously loose - something like 80% VP$IP - and passive. He also plays very oddly postflop. A couple hands ago, he donk bet the 3rd flush card on the river with only a pair, and called my raise. With that in mind, is this standard?

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls, MP calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets, BB folds, MP calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks.

My reasoning here is that I don't want to get check/raised. My hand is good, but a c/r would really suck here. Is it OK to check behind?

River: (4.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 6.25 BB

A c/r wouldn't suck as much as giving a free card to a player that could have anything. If raised, call down.

you're not really afraid of a free card here

i disagree. if you bet you're folding hands that you beat and getting check-raised by hands that beat you. Inducing a bluff here is by far the best play.

I think this is good vs laggy players but not so much vs your opponent. Given your read though, perhaps raise the river.

I usually save this one for the more "aggro" crowd, I dont know if this guy is even capable of C/Ring. Against someone this bad, just value-bet his ass off(even w/ 6high), and drop it to any further aggression

Yeah, I was torn. I had that recent hand in mind, so I felt I could trust him to bluff the river, but I thought I might have missed out on an extra BB on the turn.

At that point, I only had 26 hands. Since I wasn't sure if villain would bluff C/R, does it make this play any better?

Yea, your sample-size is meaningless, but after a few orbits, you can usually pick these(>60% vpip loose/passives) guys out pretty easily. I'd still bet and happily fold to a C/R
