Value betting with top two
Did I miss any value bets with this hand?
Reads: CO is solid TAGish who doesn't get out on too many limbs. SB is on crack. He's so erratic I can't pin him on anything. .50/1, 9-handed Preflop: <font color="green">marchron</font> is BT with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="green">marchron raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls. Flop: (7 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, CO checks, <font color="green">marchron bets</font>, SB raises, CO calls, <font color="green">marchron calls</font>. 3-bet the checkraise? Turn: (6.5 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, CO checks, <font color="green">marchron bets</font>, SB raises, CO calls, <font color="green">marchron reraises</font>, SB calls, CO calls. I anticipated the check-raise and nailed him with a 3-bet this time. River: (15.5 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, CO checks, <font color="green">marchron checks</font>. Four to a straight, so I didn't want SB to checkraise me again with a Q. Final Pot: 14.75 BB (after rake) |

Re: Value betting with top two
Seems like solid play overall, although I would probably re-raise the flop. Not going to take away odds on the flush, but you probably have the best hand in this situation. Love the turn re-raise and river check.

Why didn't you bet the river?

Why didn't you bet the river? [/ QUOTE ] Because he didn't want to get checkraised in case someone made a straight. It probably turned out that no one else had a straight, so then he wondered if he should have bet the river for value. Well, yes, he could have. But if someone had a Q they might have checked with the intention of checkraising. So, the next time your in this situation, you have to ask yourself, .... do I feel lucky today? Well, do you? |

Why didn't you bet the river? [/ QUOTE ] I feared a straight. I didn't fear it on the turn because someone would have had to held specifically A/Q or Q/9, but the river gave a straight to anyone holding a Q. I could have bet one to win two more, but if SB raised and CO 3-bet (I actually feared CO having it more than SB, since he called all the way down), I'm in a really tough spot regardless of if they had the straight or not. I got a chance to close the action and show two pair, and I took it. I did kinda give the results away, but I wasn't concerned with whether or not I was beat, just whether or not I earned every dollar out of the pot. RESULTS: marchron has Jh Kc (two pair, Kings and Jacks) SB has 5s Ks (one pair, Kings) CO has Js Ah (one pair, Jacks) OUTCOME: marchron wins 14.75 BB. |

From the FAQ: [ QUOTE ] The UTG through UTG+2 seats are also referred to as early position (EP) while CO and Button (sometimes called BT) are in late position . . . [/ QUOTE ] |
