Re: set on board
huh..weird. I think i would probally raise the turn, probally checking behind on the river if it blanked. Minibets f-me up though
The way this hand plays out he's playing it exactly like a 3 or a medium pocket pair, so i think the river is a fold. |

Re: set on board
Personally, I raise the flop up to 1000 or fold. I am not calling here. And if I call here, I certainly do not call again on the Turn. I am inclined to push the turn rather than call. On the river, you have to fold. Yes, he could have a weaker ace or some sort of a busted draw, but I think he has the boat - KT, or AT is my guess.
He could have trip 8s, but I want to raise the flop to find out. Just calling gives you no info. So, my line - Raise the flop, fold to a reraise. |

Re: set on board
His small flop bet is designed to gauge where he stands in the hand...now he leaves you to a decision of whether or not to play the hand aggressively or play it passively. I would ahve liked to see a decent sized raise on the flop here, because i believe your opponent is weak. Calling is the worst option because you never define your hand in relation to your opponent's hand.

Re: set on board
Don't you hate them betting into your pot like that on the flop. It's only 200, but it's like they're saying "I've got something. It's not much, but it's something. Go ahead, raise me all-in. I might call you, I might not." I think you've got to be a man here and raise the flop to 600.

Re: set on board
I hate donk bets on this kind of board. Folding seems weak, and calling seems no better. Any reads on villain?
I think at some point you have to either fold or put in a raise. Given your position it's not silly to think that you have an 8 (or a pocket pair), so it might be worth representing it. The dreaded min-raise on the turn ought to get you to a showdown pretty cheaply, and that's my goal if I'm going to play this hand. (Yes, the min-raise is a donk bet, but I don't mind looking like a donk from time to time, and I believe it would get him to check the river.) The smooth call can be equally scary, I guess, so the bet on the river would seem to mean something good happened to him. I'd hate myself for getting into this position and fold. |

Folding seems weak [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the confirmation Sam. I'm for folding here and I'm weak. Calling and losing leaves us with like 1400 chips. Fold here and Hero still has some play. Besides, the big stack has gotten that way for a reason. Much of the time its not because hes the best player, its because he hits flushes and full houses on the river. |
