Bet, raise, 3-bet, and cap the river if you can. I don't understand why this is even a question for an experienced player like you.

Disclaimer: My 6-max experience is virtually nil, but you have the fourth-best possible hand, for god's sake.

Bet the River.

Then sing a verse from Bruce Springsteen's "The River" as a celebration for winning the hand.

Question 2. OK: for those above and anyone (everyone?) else who answered bet - that is what I did. Here is the continuation. Your next action?

River: (7.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, MP 3-bets, Hero...

Grunch before reading anyone else's anwsers. You have 15 seconds to decide.

OK Now I see.
Reads would help but I think I say good bye to my aces and fold.

I'd like to reiterate that the only hands you're losing to are KQ, Q8, and 87. I could see KQ here, but come on. More often, these guys are betting two pair with JT or AT or a set which isn't quite as good as your rockets. Cap. Seriously.

TomBrooks · #8 07-14-2005, 04:00 AM

Question 3: OK - to those who answered question 2. Do you want to change your answer to the first action, or do you still bet that out?

Bet the river or... What? Check-raise? I don't get it. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Are you serious? You do realize he has top set, right? You think 87, Q8, and/or KQ stayed in this long for their junk draws? You don't think this action is often generated by a two-pair hand? Or a worse set? Or a stupid ace?

If we were talking about unimproved rockets, then fine, I can see a fold here. We're not. We're talking about the actual fourth-best possible hand and I think we're seeing monsters under the bed, river action notwithstanding.
