Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I feel the need to crank out that Geto Boys tune every time I have a hand like this...
FYI, this is why you can beat Party 1/2 sixmax. You dont win by forcing people out of pots. You win by making value bet after value bet, no matter how thin. Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls.

Re: Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
How is this particular instance a value bet if they all fold? Or maybe you mean it has value over the long run. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Yes a 9 or 8 could call, but into 3 other players? I stink at SH, but I dislike betting this river.

Re: Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
There is no way I can checkcall this river. People can have draws of anything, or an 8 or 9. There's 12.5BB's.
If the pot's any smaller I'm more likely to checkfold. |

Re: Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I like the value bet better than a check/call for sure, and I think it's better than a check/fold here because we're good often enough relative to the size of the pot. A 9, 8, or PP will call but not bet.

Re: Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Fold, of course.
The money you make from the thin value bets exceeds the risk of getting raised on the river. Besides, it's 1/2. People don't have the smarts to use metagame and bluff raise me on the river. Nobody ever bluffs on the river in 1/2. |
