Complications of the turn.
opponent I have listed as fairly loose. Post flop he's fairly passive. I call 'em Party Passive, it does tend to be different.
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 handed) Preflop: slavic is UTG+1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">slavic raises</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls. Flop: (8.66 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="CC3333">slavic bets</font>, MP3 folds, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">slavic 3-bets</font>, CO calls. Turn: (7.33 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> So is check fold too weak? |

Re: Complications of the turn.
Yes a check fold is totally wrong. You have to bet the turn.

Re: Complications of the turn.
I cant think of any other way to play the hand other than bet and fold to a raise.

Re: Complications of the turn.
Party Passives - I like that term - are perfectly capable of raising a monotone flop with a king or an ace of trump, or a hand like 6(trump)6x. They're also capable of betting when checked to.
Check-fold is gross. Easy bet-fold. |

Exactly, if it's bet call then what do you do? BTW it was bet call, the river is a blank. |

Re: Complications of the turn.
If you check, you're going to have to call, because the size of the pot compared to the chances he missed a flush and took his first chance ever on a bluff dictate it. Since I have to call anyway, I'd tend to bet. You're probably beat based on player description, but maybe he throws away a bigger pair, and the pots big. I doubt your getting raised here, if he didn't pop the turn.

So I bet out on the river without thinking what can he call with? He calls. and shows J9h for the flopped flush.
Of course I'm left wondering why I even take notes. |

What is a party 'passive' raising with here on a mono board? Usually it's not a draw. Most passives i know don't bet draws. They bet made hands and fear monsters. Since you 3 bet the flop, you can't just check fold the turn. What's really changed? Think he has a FH? Doubt it. Passives don't tend to jam a set on this flop nor 2 pair. If he was that predictable, you could fold to his flop raise. OR, since he raised and got it HU, you could just check call it down. Not many passives get active only to gt knocked off their hand. When they're active, they're usually seeing the showdown. b |
