Default Re: A5o value raise?

All apologies, Diplomat.

I was wondering about the compeletion of A5o? If you are going to play it, flop top pair, bet the flop.

is that I can only be called (or reraised) by a hand that beats me. Is that about right, folks?

Yup.

Peace,

Yeah, the completion is definitely questionable considering many of the jokers that regularly play in this game limp with AXo all the time. I've got no argument there at all. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Anyway, let's put an end to this thread. He called the river raise and the aggressive player showed QJ, with the J of [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Meh.

If this was at the Holiday Inn, I would suggest that you are making things a little too complicated by 3 betting here. The edge in these games does not lie in this type of play. I would just about never 3 bet here in that game mainly because I know that I am going to clobber these guys by just playing a modified ABC game i.e. ABC with a FEW curveballs thrown in.

Besides, I don't even consider it to be that wise a move in any game.

Yep, Holiday Inn hand.

The more I look at it, the more I agree. Maybe it's just the way it went down, it seemed like he had total crap when he raised the river.

Of course, since he did have total crap, he might have folded to a three-bet. Or called with a Set. Or 4-bet with a flush.
