Default AQo, monotone flop.

Going through hands from a bad session. Button is a 50/12, somewhat aggressive over 24 hands. UTG is 31/4.5 loose passive.

PokerStars 5/10 Hold'em (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG calls, Button calls.

Flop: (9.40 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (7.70 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, Button folds.

River: (9.70 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 10.70 BB

No. Hero clarked the turn, and it didn't phase villain. He's got a flush way too often here to consider calling.

I don't think he ever bets a hand I beat here on a 4-flush board. Certainly not 10% of the time.

I disagree with this. Even very passive players recognize that this is an obvious bluffing situation. And I also think that such players are capable of calling a bet without the flush. I vote for bet/fold.

I'm not sure that a passive player is going to be looking for a bluffing situation here. Most bluffs are going to be hands like missed draws and the major draw here already hit on the turn. If he has a medium strength hand I think he checks behind to see if he won.

I'm also not sure I like the idea of investing 2 more BB once the 4-flush comes as at some point I have to give the player credit for a hand and I am just giving him money.

Weird hand. I'm not sure if I like the turn donk yet. I think checking and seeing what happens may be our best option. If UTG bets then I think we can safely muck. If button bets we can just call and then donk the river.

This was my biggest question as well. I wondered if I might get button to fold a better hand. I'm thinking any set calls, 2 pair may call, AK probably folds.

I don't think betting this to try to get AK to fold is a good idea. First of all, it will often still call down. Secondly, he will have the K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] occasionally as well. And we still have UTG to worry about.

Either you guys are seriously misunderstanding this Clark thing or I am. This seems retarded. Anyone have a link from his original "work"?
