A5s from the SB flops a monster draw...
Is there any excuse for this river play? How about the turn bet-call?
Canterbury 8/16. Tight, semi-passive table, which is unusual for CP. I'm waiting for a change to a VERY good table I scouted earlier. Button plays a few too many hands, is moderately aggro, but a fairly decent player. Three limp to Milo in the SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Milo completes, BB checks. Flop is 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Nine outs to the nut flush, 3 more to the likely best hand, 2 more to aces up. Milo bets out, EP (solid, moderately aggressive player) raises, two fold, button calls, Milo calls. Turn is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Milo checks, with the intention of check-raising, EP bets, button raises. I figure myself for the best hand, but know that button plays too loosely preflop, and may occasionally dip into 56s territory. A three-bet loses EP, who is not stupid, and exposes me to calling another raise, so I call, hoping for the overcall. EP obliges. River is the 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Oddly, I check, as do the others. Comments? |

You get the same value if EP folds anyway. Also, it would be sweet if you could get him to fold a set of 2s or 3s. Either way, getting him to fold a hand he should call with, making him call incorrectly (maybe AT?), or charging him the max to draw to a better hand...we need to 3 bet for value. Even if the button does have 56, we still have our flush outs, if he wants to make it more on the turn. We're missing value here. |

Re: A5s from the SB flops a monster draw...
Couple things here :
An ace gives you a pair of aces, not aces up. I would three bet the flop, you have a huge draw and great equity three way. This changes how the turn plays, but I would three bet the turn. EP probably has a good ten and I don't think he'll muck. Bet the river, it is pretty unlikely anyone has a six and you will get many a crying call. Other than that I would play it like you :P |

Last night I was just thinking straight and flush draws. Edit: I was not happy about my play. |

I agree with your thoughts on the other streets. |

Very few people are betting the river without a straight (ok close to no one) but lots will call with worse hands. bet.

Most likely betting the turn will get a few callers, since they think they are "pot committed" already. I'd bet out the river.
