Continuing on every street, a Party 10/20 hand

[flawless_victory]

you dont mention stacksizes, but your river bet is way too small here... youre trying to get him off 99-QQ here... and you bet half pot? bet 2000 on river.

The pot had 1200ish in it, and I bet 800. So, 2/3 the pot. I only had about 1400 left(he had me covered), and felt as though this would be a convincing enough "value bet" and would have as much effect as betting the rest of what I had - but who knows, I'm just feeling my way through here as I said before.

When someone pushes as hard as you did on a fairly drawless board on all 3 streets, I generally become skeptical.

so what happened and what's your defense because this is an interesting thread to me. also what were the stack sizes?

thanks.

What's my defense? I've already outlined clearly why I bet the river... as for what happened? Will my play be better if he folded and worse if he called with 55? Anyways, this time he folded and I won. I'm trying not to be too results oriented(though I'm finding it much harder to do this in NL) so I suppose I'll post a few more hands as they occur to me.

well nh.

if he had 99/10's this still seems week to me after the flop/turn call. i wonder what he had? maybe 5's that he felt he took to far?

I have a tough time putting villain(with his stats and the the call from BB) on anything but JJ or QQ.

this is why the fold is confusing to me [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], and why i would have checked the river and probably lost the hand [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

seems borderline. this sounds like the type of player that may well fold his medium overpair but i think you could have saved this line for a better board. after he calls your flop bet 3 of the hands your hoping he had 88/99/TT have extra reason to call your turn bet. id just take the card here. once you make it to the river like this i think he will fold somewhere near the right amount of the time for you bluff to work. i think 55 probably folds the flop here btw.

Don't like it. He has QQ a lot here and I doubt he'll fold it.

You may even see a weirdly played AA/KK or even a set. Seriously.
