Re: J5s in the BB hand-stack sizes?
[ QUOTE ]
you forgot to post the stack sizes for this hand [/ QUOTE ] Doh! I had around 45$ or 50$, he had the same. [ QUOTE ] By the way, the range of hands you put him on on the flop includes KQ [/ QUOTE ] I ment QJ, not KQ, for openender plus two overcards. But since he did'nt toke the free cardon turn, I disregarded that possibility. -Happy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: J5s in the BB hand
[ QUOTE ]
You said that he would have raised with AK, but should that have been KQ? (it's KQ that makes the straight, AK doesn't do anything). [/ QUOTE ] Your right, I ment KQ, my bad... [ QUOTE ] Do you know that SB is not on a flush draw? (You implied this, I'm guessing because SB wouldn't lead at the pot on the flop with a flush draw) [/ QUOTE ] On the flop I'm not sure yet. But as I said, He always take the freecard on the turn when semibluffing so is turn bet tells me this. [ QUOTE ] Finally it looks to me like you could have raised on the river, given your read, as you were sure he didn't have a hand that could beat yours. If he did have T9, he certainly would have called a reasonable sized raise. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, he precisely had the only hand I see him calling a raise with and loosing, T9. But T9 was a possible hand in my mind, not an absolut. I really thought he had just a T on the flop. AT, KT, QT or JT. Had I know he had Top 2 on the flop, I would have folded right there. But my read evolved whit the hand. -Happy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: J5s in the BB hand
[ QUOTE ]
One question: Did you really make that precise a read (all your cool, green commentary) or is some of it after-the-fact rationalization? [/ QUOTE ] That's my actual thought process during the hand. Note however that I did'nt put him precisely on T9 but rather on a range of hand of witch 75% I could beat. AT, KT, QT = 12 possibilities each for 36 hands JT = 9 possibilities T9s (He don't play T9o) = 2 possibilities That's 47 hands. And I thought I could beat 36 of them, about 75%. But he really DID have one in the 25% hand that beated me... -Happy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: J5s in the BB hand-stack sizes?
I seem to be in the minority here but I think you played this correctly. You can't be looking for monsters under the bed everytime someone bets and you have a non-nut flush draw. Limon may be right if you are playig against all-world tight-a** competition, but against typical small buy-in players I would play this way much of the time.
Calling this down accomplishes two things: Winning the pot, and establishing a non-rock image. If you only play nut flush draws you will miss out on huge amounts of money, as long as you can laydown flushes when u suspect a higher one. There is nothing that puts people on tilt more than a hand like J5s sucking them out when they had top two. If you never make plays like this you will miss out on a lot of action IMO. |

Re: J5s in the BB hand
I agree with this. I was trying to think of a pot size/stack size ratio that would make this call good, and couldn't think of any. The position is just too bad.
