nice suckout.

tongni · #5 09-28-2005, 09:54 AM

yeah : ( i thought he was bluffing.

wuarhg · #6 09-28-2005, 10:18 AM

Wouldn't you want to check-call if he was bluffing because you have an Ace, and even if you're wrong you have outs?

If by trifecta you mean spewing on the turn...

tongni · #8 09-28-2005, 10:41 AM

Well no, because he might have any two overcards, in which case I don't want to let him check behind something like Kx on the river, and he may fold a hand sometimes that has 6 outs vs me. It just so happened that he had a good overpair here, but if you aren't checkraising the turn after checkraising the flop at least some small percentage of the time with less than top pair, I think you are giving up something.

Also, I'm confident in my read that he wouldn't 3bet here when I'm ahead, so I lose a fraction of a bet when I'm behind.
