1. You might consider capping the flop here. Your hand will win slightly better than 1 out of 3 with the nut draw and the A overcard which may be good, so a raise merits to win a little bit. And, it may help disguise your hand a little bit better.

2. I would go ahead and three-bet the river. With no pre-flop raise it's not that likely villain has a big set (KK or JJ). He did not likely catch a 7-6 or 77 boat given the flop action. So the only hand's you're really worried about here are K6, J6, and 66 for quads. I think it's significantly more likely villain was pushing a lesser flush draw and has decided to "slowplay" it on the turn or something donkish like that. Call the cap obviously. Even if the river gets capped I think you'll be good a significant portion of the time.

Everything else looks pretty good. In CO behind two limpers the pre-flop call is fine, particularly if the button and the blinds are passive.

why not? i agree with everything you said, but this. BB is leading at flop with bottom 2. it makes sense

You're totally right. I misspoke. Edited.

id call if i had capped the flop (why no cap?).

given the action its close, but id probably still raise.

Yeah, I agree with W on both points. You can't afford to not cap this river, but it sounds like you lost.

I'm a little curious which house it was because at a glance I don't see one that wasn't misplayed; looks like he made either a donkish slowplay, a donkish 3-bet, or a donkish call-down somewhere in the hand.

I would have capped the flop. You have such a strong draw and the overcard. It's a little odd to me that when the 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] came he didn't go for the check raise or just bet it. He didn't raise preflop so I wouldn't think he had a big pocket pair. Either way you have the nut flush on the river. It's one bet to you, you are getting 12 to 1 on your money. It's an easy call. Even if you are wrong you wouldn't want to fold to a river raise if all he picked up was three sixes. That's my opinion.

Honestly I figured he'd check raise the flop if he flopped bottom two [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

El Tigre · #9 07-19-2005, 05:35 PM

he made a boat on the turn with K6, oh well
