Tough River Decision #3
My opponent is super loose-passive. He has been playing 90% of his hands, but I never saw him complete on 3rd. Typical calling-station.

Re: Tough River Decision #3
Curious you didn't fold when he paired his door card.
You told me that trips vs 2 pair was yuck. (but I know it's hard to lay em down) I'd call that raise on the river, but that's why I have no roll. I don't like to think anyone is getting "cute" and that's what it is, either he's got a busted flush with only queens, queens up, trip queens, or a boat. (I'm betting a boat) Sucks.

[ QUOTE ] You told me that trips vs 2 pair was yuck. (but I know it's hard to lay em down) [/ QUOTE ] If I had king up and he made open ACES, I would lay down. Here though, I can beat queens up, so it’s much better. If, say, he raised on 3rd and queens were live, I would have to consider folding. |

Re: Tough River Decision #3
I think it is close against an unknown but given your read, there is noway you are ahead here 10% of the time. Passive calling stations dont bet all that often, let alone checkraise - that is way too much agression for him to not have the goods.

Re: Tough River Decision #3
Have you seen him raise before at all?
There is a question to be answered here. Did he catch the case Queen on Fifth or did he stumble onto trips/FH on the River. That would seem to be worth one BB. Do you think people play you a little differently because you don't pay off, at least not before the river? |

Re: Tough River Decision #3
Tough to lay down two higher pair, but it looks that you are beat. Fold. Use the $4 to buy a couple of slices.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, against better players, calling for information can be worth that one big bet I guess. But I don’t think finding out that he rivered me will save/make me any $$$ in the future - even if I find out that he check-called on 5th and 6th with trips, that will hardly keep me from slowing down against him in similar spots in later hands; even if he had trips in this hand, most of the time he won’t have them, simply because he plays so many hands. Thus, betting in these spots will be +EV. Like I said though, if he played less predictably or was tricky, you would have a point. [ QUOTE ] Do you think people play you a little differently because you don't pay off, at least not before the river? [/ QUOTE ] People who pay attention, sure. I don’t think this guy was, though. I doubt most people are. |

Well, I called. He started with Kh7h in the hole and hit the case queen on the river.

Re: RESULTS
Well, now you know he can raise. I feel better knowing you weren't slow-played. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

He could shuffle show after all. But the way he played it combined with the fact that he is obviously clueless and couldn’t care less about whether anyone sees what he started with make me think that he rivered me. |
