A5o value raise?

often, there is more to getting an aggressive heads up than simply reraising him with the best starters. to knock out those behind you, they must not like being in the hand with you because of how the entire hand pinches. the influence you exert at the table should result in everyone feeling a pinch, including yourself. but like the ballerina who does borderline contortion manuevers with a smile, you too must smile as the pinch you set off takes effect. when you smile at the table after setting off a chain reaction pinch by check-raising an opponent who will reraise, etc., as you smile, your opponents feel the pinch tweezing tighter and tighter. yes, it's tweezing you too, but you're smiling. well, whether you win or lose that hand, your opponents don't want to be in another like it. and if you are tweezing with goodly torque, then you should be able to get your aggressive opponent heads up. but notice that it's your playing style, not your starters that give you this heads up ability. and diplomat, K high is all you need, and good tweeze of course.

so you have to ask yourself, 'do i have tweeze?'. well do you diplomat?

It's a minor point but he had aces up, which beats 56.

That's not a minor point at all, lol. Somehow I got the hand screwed up in my head so that I only thought he had a pair of aces with no stick. Well, that explains why I'm the only one who thought it was a kamikaze resteal reraise. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Anyway, I think the river reraise is a bit anemic, although maybe made a little better since you really shouldn't have to call a 4-bet. I would probably go with my gut feeling at the table on this one, although from the desk I feel more inclined to just call.

heck i thought u should check call.

[bad beetz]

not with top/bottom. Top/top MAYBE. I bet/call a raise on the river.

Will this guy raise BTF with any ace? Than you may have a three bet. Can he four bet you with a worse hand?

I just check-call cause I'm a pussy

i think this post is out of line.

normally i have no problem with blatant egoism, but this post doesn't even add any value to the thread in the way of helpful advice.



for what it's worth, i don't think it's a good spot for a river 3-bet. aggressive players, i've found, like to slowplay their big hands. this could be the case here, and since you will likely have to call down a 4-bet, i would just call.

Cry us all a river. Life is out of line.

the exact opposite of what is correct.

I love how you just slam a response yet don't offer an answer.

You're a coward.

[Joe Tall]

I'd call this river raise. There is too much out there that has you beat to re-raise.

Why play Ace-rag out of the SB anyway?

Peace,
