5/10 River OOP - Blocking help
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
Button ($1002.35) SB ($421.50) BB ($1199) Hero ($1104) MP ($1306) Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $5. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $30</font>, MP calls $30, Button calls $30, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Flop: ($105) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $80</font>, MP folds, Button calls $80. Turn: ($265) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $250</font>, Button calls $250. River: ($765) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, Button calls $642.35 (All-In)... Now I hate myself for checking. WTF am I supposed to do, block for 275 and fold to an all in. (New villain, never raises preflop.) I swear I seriously thought about moving in on that turn, but I told myself that's just ridiculous. |

Re: 5/10 River OOP - Blocking help
Can someone clearly define "blocking bet" for me?
I see a lot of you refer to it, and I kind of understand what it is [a smallish river bet with marginal holdings], but I don't really understand its purpose nor value. Can someone please explain? |

Re: 5/10 River OOP - Blocking help
betting this river and calling all-in is a no brainer. most players will not be calling 250 on the turn with a draw.
now that you checked you should be calling quickly. |

Okay flawless, why is that check good? I appreciate the advice, I just want to know why. Stack sizes?
edit - he also typed in "made 2 pair huh" in the chat box when i bet the turn |

Re: 5/10 River OOP - Blocking help
The turn CR def crossed my mind, but I was thinking if he did just pick up an ace with his flush draw he can't like his kicker.
He was VERY VERY VERY passive on the turn, and would have def checked. |
