Re: Put to the test on the river
[ QUOTE ]
calls, and wonders if he played the turn correctly. [/ QUOTE ] Hmmm, so you're wondering if it's better to check it through on the turn and then call any potential river bet? I honestly had not considered that option. When the flush card hit on the turn and he checked it to me, I figured I'm most likely either 1) quartering another A2 or 2) chopping against a flush. In the unlikely scenerio that he has an A2 with diamonds, well I'll have to take my lumps. With 1 and 2 being the most likely scenerios, I decided I wanted to squeeze him as much as possible. If I'm quartering him, I want as much of his chips in the pot as possible. If he has anything other than the nut-flush, I'm hoping my bet will squeeze him enough to fold so I can hog the whole pot.

Re: Put to the test on the river
There is no one correct answer for how to play this hand. The truth is its a close decision dependent on table conditions, opponents propensity to fold/bluff, and your image.
Argument for checking Checking the turn will often get worse hands to lead out on the river hands that would fold to a bet now like set/twopair or A2 with worse high. (btw, this is how you take money from overaggro players like AirHumpy [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] ) And it will lose you less when you are behind to A2 with diamonds. Argument for betting Balanced against that is a) how often a better hand will fold. But A2 with a weak flush will not be folding here (witness that many are suggesting that you call the river with A2 with worse than a weak flush), so that will be pretty rare. And b) how often a worse hand will call but you are pretty much hoping that A2 with a worse high than a straight will call and the only possible hand there might be A2+set. In truth you probably should be taking both these lines to mix up your game
