Re: Ace High hands...
[ QUOTE ]
Hand 1: My default against an unknown player is to bet/fold here. I will take your line if I expect to get bluff or semibluff raised frequently on the turn and/or my image is pretty bad. Here, you didn't provide any read that said your opponent was capable of this. Additionally, the 7 doesn't seem like a card that would introduce draws for him to semibluff. A T, for example, might cause some semibluffs. [/ QUOTE ] While my thinking is generally similar to this, I'd like to add that I think when you check the turn he's betting it very often on a board as bluff friendly as this one. So, I think check-calling is a decent play against any opponent who's not too passive. On the river, its pretty tough to get a feel for which guys will fire two bullets and which guys will give up when you call the turn so I tend to just call a river bet now and then in spots similar to this, folding most of the time. |

And if he decides to bluff on the turn he will almost always fire on the river also, as opposed to some more aggressive opponents who figure if you call the turn, you are very likely to go to showdown so they give up on the river. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yea see this is why I have trouble with these spots. I have absolutely no idea what leads you to believe the statements above or why they should be true. |
