Re: Do you bluff here?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I fold the river. I don't think that villian is laying down his hand especially if he caught his ace (which is likely) and because you are already ITM. I agree with everyone and bet the flop though. A substantial bet at that. [/ QUOTE ] Why fold the river when you just have to call 300? [/ QUOTE ] Because I fold when I believe I have a 0% chance of having the best hand. No chance villian makes a bet this small without a better hand than a pair of fours. Of course, I never would have put myself in this position in the first place... this hand was played very poorly in general. EDIT: Moving in is better than calling here but folding is still by far the best option. |

Re: Do you bluff here?
[ QUOTE ]
My question is why did you check the flop? I would've bet while I was likely ahead. [/ QUOTE ] I think I push this flop to a non-tricky min-raiser who just checked the flop to me. (See Scuba's post though if he usually bets these.) Unless I missed something and this is a thinking, tricky player, I think I'm ahead. Then again I've developed this agression thing that once ITM has gotten me a lot of 1sts, a few 3rds, but not too many 2nds recently FWIW. |

Re: Do you bluff here?
I bet this flop too. anyway...
[ QUOTE ] BTW, his turn bet convinced me that he had a weak K or A and had missed completely. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, that bet struck me as odd. He makes a half ass bet that leaves him with almost exactly what little stack has left. Is he planning out what to do when he loses? I think so. Sounds like missed Ace high to me. If I checked the flop, push turn. The way it played out river looks like a value bet that you have to pay off. |

Re: Do you bluff here?
I thought about pushing the turn, but was 5:1 to improve (not to the best hand) and pot odds were 3:1, so I just called.
BTW, I agree with everyone that I played this hand poorly and got my a*ss in a trap. That said, does anyone push all-in after Villain's t300 bet on the river? Thanks! SlackerMcDonkey |

Re: Results
I fold pre-flop.
If I make a move I do it on the turn. |

Re: Do you bluff here?
If you are going to bluff, fire out a bet on the flop.

Re: Do you bluff here?
AAARGH! I already admitted that the hand was played poorly from the start, on the flop and the turn. Appreciate the advice and all, but...... <----(note to Drapes).
I did not ask how to play 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] pre-flop, post-flop or the turn. The obvious play is to fold this pre-flop. The obvious play is to push on the flop. The obvious play is to fold the turn (having missed the straight). The only question is: Do you or don't you bluff having found yourself (or forced yourself) into this position? And, what are your thoughts behind your decision? My thinking is included above. Probably not Level 2 or above intelligent thought, but I want to win chips. How do YOU win chips given this circumstance? SlackerMcRant |
