Villain is a bit loose but so far seems solid, I just feel I messed this up so wondered how you might play it differently.

re-raise pre

also i think i might value bet the river - half pot, fold to a raise? you'll get calls from most mid-pockets i think, 66-JJ, but id hate to be check-raised here, i just might take the free showdown

if he bets the river, I hope you call.

rest of hand looks good.

Reraise pf to isolate. I think a river value bet could be made. The K isn't really a scare card for you unless he takes AK unimproved to the river everytime.

Meh. Looks OK. Probably missed value on the river from JJ/TT/99. Isn't he taking a different line with AA, Kx, 55, and 2x, the four hands that beat us?

What's with blasting the flop like that? I'd probably make it $25, and I'd bet the river every time.

What'd villain show?

Skuzzy · #9 09-28-2005, 12:46 AM

Why $25? I figured AA or KK push right there after my raise on the flop. Unfortunately, when he called strongly putting the idea of JJ, TT, 99 in my head, I started to doubt my reasoning when king hit the turn.

Villain showed TT - wish I'd value bet the river and stuck with my read. The thing is, I just never feel 100% yet. If I make a good read of the situation I think I got lucky, if I make a bad one i figure I suck. 30 seconds is never long enough for me.
