When I caught the third ace, I went a little nuts. With no reads on villain, what would you have done?

play it the same way, i think. a read would help. looks like you lost to 99 to me.

nope, villain had a set of 6s on the flop

Jules22 · #4 05-07-2005, 05:07 AM

i had the right idea. couldnt see him raising 66 utg, but thats what happen when i dont have a read :P

Does the river ace change anything?
Is it wrong to just call this river?

I don't know whether I would've raised the river. It's 50-50 with no reads. Definately smells like an overpair on the flop; I wouldn't have check-raised 66 or 99 on the flop although I wouldn't have raised 66 pre flop either - maybe you're kicking yourself because you're up against AQ-AJ?

I don't like the river. The A doesn't rely change much. I'd call, and not expect to win.

raising preflop with 66 utg in a 9 handed game. Wow this guy has balls.

yeah, I may have just called the river; your line isn't bad, he could have played AJ or AQ this way too.
