KQs Hand - Your Thoughts

Nate_Dogg · #1 03-13-2005, 01:37 PM

This is a recent Party NL50 6-max hand versus a LAG who was often very aggressive in weird situations. i.e. He would make outsized bets w/ a very strong bet or on a total bluff. What are you thoughts on the flop, turn, and river? Any guesses as to what he had? I'll post the results later.

Fold the river. 8 diamond is your "death card" - completes both a straight and a flush.

Check behind the turn. Fold the river. There's really no way he doesn't have a set. Whenever an aggressive player takes this type of line, they have a set.

Not necessarily. Villain might have JT. In that case, a turn bet is correct.

On the turn you're either drawing dead, or he's got a bunch of outs. You want to control the pot size, so check behind. You can call a smaller bet on the river.
