40-80 Turn Play

Jeffage · #1 01-31-2005, 10:00 PM

Playing in a good 40-80 game at Borgata. On this hand, a few people are walking, folded to me in LP and I raise with K10o. Only the BB calls...he is a seemingly solid regular; he has some game though and will checkraise-bluff, etc. if he feels its the right play (this seems to happen a lot in this game...even 3-betting the turn on a semibluff). The flop comes Q-2-3 rainbow. He checks, I bet, he calls. The turn is an offsuit 10. He checks, I check. The river is a 5. He bets, I call. Comments? Results later.

If he does a fair bit of bluff-raising why not give him an opportunity to do it when you hit your pair on the turn?

I'd probably bet the turn, but a bluff induction is not bad either. I think the turn is close either way.

Dave,

It was Sunday afternoon. Not sure of the guy's name because I'm not a Borg regular...he was mid 30's-40's,clean-cut, and liked betting the horses, gave everyone tips on the tracks, etc.

Slicked back hair? Italian looking? Little heavy set?

He does do his share of fancy moves, but would he really pick this board to try to bluff raise me? I could have AQ and will probably see the river in this game with AK. I could also have a stronger hand. On a queen-rag board, I don't know if he'd call the flop, checkraise turn with total garbage. Make the flop JJ9 or something maybe. He could have flopped a set or 2's or 3's or has some kind of queen. Plus the check could induce a bluff on the end or I value bet if checked to..just some thoughts. More comments appreciated (sorry if this rambling, I'm kinda drugged up on cold medicine right now).

Hmmm...yes on the first two descriptions, but I don't think he was fat. He seemed thin/average to me, but I didn't see him stand up (then again, I'm a little heavy set myself, so maybe my judgement is off). He always had a racebook in his hand...tries to keep the game moving...slicked back hair, italian looking i guess (I'm bad with that). I know he is a very regular player there (and he's not the guy that always falls asleep at the table and never leaves).

Hrm the guy I'm thinking isn't too tricky and doesn't pull many moves though. But he does fall asleep at the table, is a racebook junky and very regular...and occassionally smells from "residual" visits to his room and/or car for some quick "smokes".

Probably not the same guy though, as he tends to sit 40/80 when he is stuck and is pretty tight except when he gets into sleep deprivation and/or is winning alot.
