Ya. thoughts? Also, i'm annoyed beating at every other stakes apart from 30 [censored] 60, so if anyone wants to volunteer to take my next 2000 hands, add to PT filter through the main ones then give thoughts, then i will reply with my thoughts they are welcome to. We can post the ones we disagree on.

Hand 1: Looks good. I might just check-call the river if he would bet a draw he picked up on the turn one more time.

Hand 2: I assume you are just giving up here. This is a spot where I am prone to throwing away a BB since I "can't win by checking".

Hand 3: This is another one that I pay off every time but I have yet to see enough river bluffs to make it worthwhile. If he slowplayed his set to the river then good for him. Or maybe he has a Q and knows you won't 3-bet but would pay off with any pair.

Hand 4: Looks good.

Hand 5: With two opponents I have no idea what to do here on the river. I think your line makes a lot of sense but part of me wants to just check-fold.

How standard is it to bet/call river in this spot? I find myself c/calling in this type of situation most of the time, should I be betting here more?

xorbie · #4 11-28-2005, 08:17 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you plan on bet/calling the river in hand 1, isn't it better to just 3-bet the turn?

Not necessarily. Sometimes it can be better to stop'n'go in order to avoid putting in more bets than you want to... Here, hero knows this line will assure a showdown for no more than 4 and no fewer than 3 bb...

That's not to say that the concept is correctly applied in this specific hand, but there are times when stopping and going can be better for "bet control" reasons.

I decided i was too often seeing TJ JQ other stuff take a free showdown, yet usually when i donk bet out the river it seems like it is more likely to get randomly raised, not sure about the river calll but i think it is incorrect.

tongni · #7 11-28-2005, 08:32 PM

Hand 1: Overplayed by 1 bet, check call the river.

Hand 4: I would bet the turn.

This makes sense, except he puts in 5BB anyway.

Hand 1: my SOP would be to check/call the river. I think a 50/25 is rarely checking behind here, and I would like exactly 1 bet to go in. Is your idea to induce raises from worse hands? I think unless you have a read that you're generally not in good shape if 2 bets go in on this river.

Hand 2: can I assume you are check/folding riv? I think this line is fine though lately I have been liking a turn checkraise more since you sometimes have the best hand + outs + some semibluffing equity especially on certain turns. Player dependent.

Hand 3: I can go either way on the river. I think calling's fine as a default.

Hand 4: Your decisions don't seem to jive in this hand. Not sure why you checkraised flop if you aren't going to follow through on a card that's quite good for you. River I think is very feel based. It's AT vs. how likely he is to slowplay a monster like this. Don't think I could fault you for either choice.

Hand 5 looks standard. Protected pot, not a bluff or low club on river. Good fold.

With such a strong flop I think some consideration should be given to leading out as you'll occassionally take down the pot by inducing an incorrect fold, and if you get raised it's certainly not a disaster.

I'm not sure what the plan is by checkraising the flop and then checking the turn--could you explain this play?

On the river I would 3-bet without much hesitation but maybe I shouldn't.
