Check-raised w/ 2nd pair and seeing a showdown
MP is something like 50/15 but has been playing back at me a lot.
Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP calls. Flop: (5.40 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP calls. Turn: (3.70 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>, Hero calls. River: (7.70 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">MP bets</font>, Hero calls. Final Pot: 9.70 BB I realize folding to the turn check-raise would have been a decent play, but I felt like he would have check-raised the flop with an A. Combined with how he had been playing, I decided to call down. Comments? |

Re: Check-raised w/ 2nd pair and seeing a showdown
you would need some pretty compelling reasons to call down here.

What do you guys think about folding the river when those draws come in?

Re: Check-raised w/ 2nd pair and seeing a showdown
Do you think it's likely that he would wait until the turn to jam his flush draw? Also, nothing about the play indicates a straight draw, but I'm not sure anything would.
I might have folded for both these reasons if I had spent more time thinking about it, and if I wasn't extremely suspiscious of his previous play. I lay this down easily against a solid or uncreative player. |

Check the turn and induce a bluff on the river.

[/ QUOTE ] agree 100%. you're not gonna cost yourself the pot by giving a free card, any hand that he is drawing live with he is calling the turn with. you will occasionaly miss a bet with a hand he would have called twice with but that should be made up for by all the bluff you pick off on the river that he'd have folded to a turn bet. when you can see the checkraise coming a mile away, and you dont welcome it, just check it through and call the river. |
