Re: Hmmm Flush Draw hand
[ QUOTE ]
Bullshit... AFter looking at this again, our fold equity is non existant, except in the case that we have a villain who is nearly drawing dead with a dry ace or similar draw, in which case we have more equity trying to induce a bet on the river. [/ QUOTE ] I don't agree at all here. A pretty good aggressive opponent isn't going calldown here with 98s or 99 or whatever IMO. The villian would have to be a fool to play Ax this way and it is unrealistic to think that he holds this hand. Anyway, the crux of this hand IMO is the pot size. With a smaller pot (say 5 BB) we would obviously want to call and see what we find on the river. In a huge 15 BB pot it would be more tempting to try and raise since any hand that folds (that beats us) is making a big mistake. You have to try and give your opponents a chance to make a mistake. I feel like this is a good time to do so in a pot that is 10 BB + our most likely hand is AK or KQ and the villian is drawing near dead if he doesn't have a king. Brad |

I actually like that part of it, especially since the check-raise drove everyone else out. But I don't think I want to throw in that first bet to start the ball rolling in that direction (far too many variables -- it looks like he chanced upon an excellent spot). |

Re: Hmmm Flush Draw hand
If you raise, he's getting 12:1 on a call. I really really don't think he's going to fold any more than a bluff here.

Re: Hmmm Flush Draw hand
This is by far one of the best post/discussions the micro have seen in a while. It is forcing me to think in ways that go far beyond "playing your cards". It is going in my favorites, and I am pretty sure that this will be a digest entry. Good stuff guys.

[/ QUOTE ] What can a good Villain actually expect to win with if he's raised on this turn? Side question for Shillx: Would you never raise this turn with AK (or KQ) or would you vary it? (This and the above question are related somewhat.) And bump because this was a fun read. Edited to add: I do agree that we have some good fold equity here against a thinking player, but I would not have thought to raise myself. However, it seems a bit counterintuitive to me that you can fold him out here with a raise but you would never raise a big king on this turn. I might just be tired. Later, I'll bump this up in the morning. |

[/ QUOTE ] It's not inconceivable that a good villian can think his 8's are good vs. an aggro opponent when he's raised on the turn. The free showdown play isn't that uncommon when the board pairs and the raiser has a marginal hand like a smallish PP or overcards. It may be possible he could've sniffed that out, but this situation is a little different when you're looking at Kings on the board, a PFR, and a flop 3-bet. It'd be a tough call to make but not a psychic one pending Shillx's image. |

Re: Hmmm Flush Draw hand
definitely not folding. I am leaning towards raising here. Since SB is good and aggressive, he might not have a king and just trying to represent one by S&G. Thus you'll take it down on the turn by your raise.
If 3-bet just call and fold river UI. |

Re: Hmmm Flush Draw hand
Call. SB represented having a pair of Kings or better on the flop. Therefore, might have made a set here.
