I think it's pretty good. the PFR and flop bet are obviously standard. I think betting the river was a slight mistake. A better hand won't likely fold, and a worse hand won't call.

With no reads, I check through the turn and perhaps call the river, but probably not.

Edit: betting the turn for a free showdown is good too, but you have to be willing to fold to a raise or to a river bet if you do that.

Yeah, I think we still have some good fold equity on the turn vs a T or 88 or 99.

Just check the river, he is not goin to call you with a hand you can beat.

Also..Table selection, a .05 .10 game thats this tight can't be a good table. I know it's only one hand, but it still seems unusual to find a table that folds to the cutoff in .05 .10.

River play is bad.

No better hands are going to fold to your bet and not many worse ones are going to call.

Fold to the check/raise. No hands that you beat are raising here.

Rest looks good.

Flop play is OK to see where you are at, but you got called and the board is uncoordinated so there is a descent clue that your opponent probably has an A or a T. Since your preflop raise is cold called, the range of hands he is likely to be playing is more heavily weighted toward Ax and PPs higher than yours.

Therefore, you should slow down on the turn - especially when another overcard hits that could have given one of the few hands you had beat on the flop a straight.

Forget the river! That was a waste of 2 bets.

Also, you are likely to get better advice if you don't post the results.

Check behind on the river. He would only call (or even raise) a bet if he has you beaten.

jaxUp · #9 04-19-2005, 08:40 AM

It wasn't a coldcall preflop. It's just the BB, so I think his range of hands could be pretty wide.

I think that the turn bet is fine here. Lots of players will check/call the flop with crap, and check/fold the turn.

You forgot any reads you might have on BB.. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Looks like a blind steal attempt.. does this work at .05/.10?

He likes his hand enough to defend with it, so all those overcards would make me back off on it. Or it should, anyway.

I think I would have checked through the flop to see if he bets out on the turn and call it and the river. Boy that sounds awful passive.

Edit after reading replies: Yeah, I like betting the flop and checking the turn better.
