Throttle to the stops, who applys the brakes?

This is one that may question your judgement in the middle of a three month downswing, so let me know if I'm a Douche.

I can't see any way how you can slow down here. Only hands that beat you are quad tens and the straight flush. TT could most likely 3-bet preflop, so that really leaves just the straight flush. If the villain has a lower boat, or is a moron with Ah, he could be doing the same thing. I'm sure you got beat here, but you know as well as I do that you're capping this on every street possible.

I agree, only hands that even slightly make sense re the coldcall are 98 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and TT. Tough to put someone on T6 or T7 here. I still probably don't cap the river, but damn I think I go as far as you do.

This player called out of the BB. Without stats or a read that says otherwise, I don't see how you can eliminate 107, 106 and 105 from his range of hands. However, I would definitely play it the same way. There is a greater chance he is just overplaying a flush until that river 3bet, which I also just call.


EDIT: If you are referring to the flop coldcall, I can see that 105 probably would have folded, but most players are calling flopped two pair here if not 3betting. So I don't see how he can't be holding 106 or 107.

[Grisgra]

This is what I get for posting late, when I'm tired. I misread BB for Button. D'oh! Been doing that a lot lately . . . you're right. I still don't know that I slow down, this could just as well be an overplayed flush.

[turnipmonster]

I play it the same, but probably cap the river. only time I call the 3 bet is if the guy is a rock.

I meant the only hands that make sense re a coldcall that he's losing to. But since he was in the BB, T6 and T7 enter the realm of possibility.

[bunky9590]

Well, turns out that that turn card was the death of me. he flopped the str8 flush and was fortunate that I had a Hand to go to ever bloddy war with. Lost the battle, still losing the war as well. Oh well, tonight is a new night.

Maybe i can get back on a run.
