Too tricky?

KingOtter · #1 01-13-2005, 01:20 AM

As usual... I try to get a little tricky and pull the ole check-raise on the turn trick. Could I have done better?

Maybe I'm wrong but I think check-raising and trapping the button is fine.

CO was unknown at the time, but his stats for 24 hands ended up being 50/20.83/2.29 TAF.

(actually I'm still at the table with him)

KO

Play on the hand is good.

CO have 55?

And WTF does Button have? A pair of aces? Geez.

KingOtter · #5 01-13-2005, 02:02 AM

Yeah, button had an Ace. Maybe button had better stats on the nutjob that ended up having 34s. He hit his straight on the turn.

Re-raised pre-flop with 34s.

KO

Ugh.

With 7 players to flop and having a gutshot / backdoor flush draw, isn't the play from co correct?

Any of the better micro players have an opinion?

Heh, KO said he re-raised pre-flop and I took that as it was stated. Anyway, CO should definitely not have raised this flop. A call is thin but okay with implied odds I'd say.

Mur · #9 01-13-2005, 02:53 AM

I didn't see any preflop raising there.

A flop call is super easy with 34s. You're double-gutted. Whether he chooses to raise or not and try to get a free card (which he would've gotten, I might add), is up to the player. I'd prefer to overcall.
