MP1 - hero
SB - villian

- "hero" AQ/JJ open limping from MP, doubtful
- "hero" AQ/JJ checking behind 4way on a SD flop, certainly not the AQ
- "hero" AQ/JJ value betting the turn, ok (if we got past the PF/flop irregularities)

RIVER: "villian" c/r'd...

What is hero trying to accomplish with 3betting here?

For value?

-- what hands would "villian" call with that are behind...
--- AQ: a weaker Q? a 2?
--- JJ: a 2?

-- what hands would "villian" be ahead of us here, yet fold...
---AQ: trips? a boat?
---JJ: a Q, trips, a boat?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only possible situation I can dream up here to support pushing over the top (for our hero) would be...

True Villain: 99-JJ.....PRAYING our hero has checked TP on flop, check-called TP on turn, check-raised TP on river.

Our hero has no business pushing this river IMO. If I had to guess, he lost to bigger trips or a boat.

Probably lost to 2's full IMO. But then again we don't know the stakes, it's an 800 stacker so villains play(results notwithstanding) probably questionable.

well i dont know if you noticed raptor, but i DID have a feeling.


oh, and since i feel like i now know how this hand should have gone (maybe a small bet on a turn, and a bet/call on the river), here are the results:

villian shows 77 for sevens full. rigged.

Thinking about my last post I realised it was a pile of poop.

I thought about the hand again.

Hero is dealt 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] a drawing hand in the SB. He couldn't be more OOP.

First consideration when you get a hand is it's possible strengths and weaknesses. If you should play the hand, why, and what are you looking for ? with this hand you want to hit the flop hard. Period. you want at least two pair/flush/straight draw.

Second consideration. Position. If you folded here it would probably be soft but not bad. For 5 chips though its worth the gamble.

The flop. No good. You have a weak pair, no real kicker and no real draw to speak of. You have achieved none of the objectives this hand requires for optimal play. You are now looking to
a) dump the hand - check/fold
or
b) try and steal the 75 chips in the pot - bet/fold

Turn - assumes you have chosen option a - hence you should fold. You have no reason to call here. Fold. If you want to continue in the hand you should raise if only so you're not operating in the vacuum you're currently in.

River - You shouldn't be here knowing as little as you do about the other players hands unless you want to throw some more chips down the drain.
