I was really just trying to get all in with the shortstack (I'd rather he fold of course.) who likey had a small overpair, but when the other guy overcalled I kind of got myself in a situation. In a smaller pot I would just check through the turn to try and hit my draws, but I would have to give up the pot if I missed the river. I'm not really worried about a 4 here, he either has an overpair or a flush draw himself. How stupid is this?

I like it until the river. If villian is on a flush draw you win. Villian called all the way up to this point so I doubt he will fold now to a non-scary river.

Edit: Depending on the player, the only draw I can see him having is KsQs. He most likely has an overpair here and will not fold. I actually like a check behind on the turn unless you're pretty sure you can push him off his hand.

I think you will lose here a lot of the time.

I'll give more detail later because I'm a little preoccupied now.

you're not folding out better hands and worse hands won't call. the 3rd barrel is unnecessary.

SB has big overpair and he is rarely folding.

Muisyle · #6 06-18-2005, 08:02 PM

Ok well I was pretty sure it was stupid as I was doing it but I just felt that I could make him fold. I was pretty sure he was on a draw of some kind, so it doesn't even really make sense to bet it as the first guy points out, I can check and win with ace high. I didn't really think that through.

Anyway, he folds and I take it down [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Are you sure?

I guess the others got to it first.

Good post, BTW. This is a common problem.

If I had to guess, I would say villian would have an overpair here 90% of the time if villian is halfway decent.

I suppose I should have added his stats:
