100/200 something doesn't feel right

Button is dabest247 at PS if anyone is familiar with him. He seems okay but a little soft, I think he's capable of betting a hand worse than a K down here. It's hard to tell though I haven't been sitting with him long.

Nice hand.

Did you consider a donk bet on the river? Do you think he bets the river with AQ?

I probably would have bet the river instead of check-calling. The flushdraw may protect you from him raising and lots of times you have the best hand and he'll pay you off with much less.

vulture · #4 06-15-2005, 05:58 AM

and how about betting on the turn, instead of check-calling (because of the possible draws)?

If either of you have a pair it is going to showdown. I would have raised the flop and called down any bets/raises.

this looks like a perfect example of c/c c/c bet

Fortitude · #7 06-15-2005, 09:00 AM

I considered this line. Raising his flop bet or just betting right into him but I know that even if he raises I'm going to be calling him down anyways so I didn't see the point in betting here. If it's because you think your hand has more value than his range of hands here the check/call, check/call, and bet river line seems a lot better. You care to explain more?

Let's forget about the 3rd diamond on the river that makes this a perfect river bet(I missed the 3 flush coming). I think this is the type of player who will raise my river bet with a worse hand so I must call his raise if I bet. I also believe that against his range of pre flop capping hands that I'm <50% on the river so why give him a chance to make a bigger pot when I have less equity?

Is it only the diamond river that makes you want to bet this or is this your regular line against this type of player on a K high board?

Klepton · #9 06-15-2005, 04:41 PM

i should have said that i was going to call a river raise.

i do agree with you that you will probably be raised 95% of the time, and the other 5% he will fold.

thinking about it, i believe your line is best, sometimes being extremely passive against an extremely aggressive opponent is the only way to do it.

I agree, I think hero played his hand perfectly.
