Raise TT on the river? #2
PartyPoker 6-max. Just sat down and haven't seen my primary opponent in this hand before. Pre-flop cold-caller is a terrible player.
UTG raises. CO call. I call in SB w/ [ Ts, Tc ]. Sometimes I'll 3-bet here, but I know CO calls way too much pre-flop and on the flop and I don't know anything about the UTG raiser, so I decide calling is better. BB calls. ** Dealing Flop ** : [ Jc, Td, Kd ] Good flop, but not the greatest. With such a drawy board, I decide to checkraise and maybe lose someone. PFR bets. CO folds. I checkraise. BB folds. PFR 3-bets. I hope he doesn't have JJ, KK, or AQ. I cap. He calls. ** Dealing Turn ** : [ 7c ] Well, that didn't change anything. I bet. He raises. Hmmm... I guess he really does have AQ. I call. ** Dealing River ** : [ 7s ] Nice. I think I win now. Bye-bye, AQ. I check. He bets. I check-raise. He 3-bets. Wow, maybe he really did have JJ or KK. But he's more likely to have AQ. Call or cap? Anyway, since it's capped at 4 bets, whether I call or 4-bet on the river doesn't really matter. But what do you think of my overall play? What do you think my opponent had? |

Because it's Party you shouldn't just consider JJ, KK, and AQ, you should consider AK and AA as well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
I'd call and when he showed me AK/AA thought "Boy do I love Party Poker!" |

Re: Raise TT on the river? #2
When the board pairs on the river and you check-raise him, most players will read you for the full house, given all the strength that both of you have shown so far. I agree that his turn raise after you capped the flop looks like AQ, but his river three-bet says otherwise. I think you played the hand fine, I would not cap the river, but I agree that it is close since you can't be re-raised.
This all assumes a sane opponent, and its my understanding that many Party opponents can play very badly. |

I hope he doesn't have JJ, KK, or AQ [/ QUOTE ] The question is, would he 3-bet AK on this flop? Turn: I understand you laying off here, no brainer. River: Call it and pray he doesn't have JJ or KK. Peace, JT |

Re: Raise TT on the river? #2
Good responses. I thought about calling on the river, but then figured that there was enough of a higher chance of him having AQ than KK or JJ that a 4-bet was reasonable. Plus, capping is fun. So, I 4-bet. He called. My hand was good.
He didn't have AQ. What did he have? I'll give you a hint. He liked the flop. He liked the turn. He liked the river. I bet the first guy to respond gets this right. |

Re: Raise TT on the river? #2
I'd probably 3-bet before the flop. 3-betting is fun, right? I haven't played much 6-max, but I imagine your hand will be the best here well over half the time.
I hope he doesn't have JJ, KK, or AQ. Good thinking. I like your flop and turn play. Anyway, since it's capped at 4 bets, whether I call or 4-bet on the river doesn't really matter. I think the 4-bet cap makes that the best play. What do you think my opponent had? K7s? I'll really go out on a limb and say Kh7h. |

I'd usually 3-bet here and think that's the better default play. I don't think calling is all that bad, though. [ QUOTE ] K7s? I'll really go out on a limb and say Kh7h. [/ QUOTE ] Decent guess, but I'm disappointed you didn't get this right. I'll give you one more shot. Here's the hint. I think his flop play is better with the hand he had than it would have been w/ K7. Now that I think about it, there are two possible hands you could come up with given my hints. I'll be happy w/ either one. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Jd 7d
(My first guess was K7s also) |

Ah, this is real pressure, and I hate these guessing games. To make up for my terrible first guess, I'll try to guess both possibilities. Jd7d, or Qc9c. Although I can't see why he'd like the river with the second hand, so J7 sounds better. |

Re: Raise TT on the river? #2
OK, after reading the last two responses I realized that I was wrong. There's no way to come up with the hand he had given my hints unless you think like a moron. Sorry. I forgot one critical hint.
Only an absolute moron would 3-bet me on the river with the hand he had, even though the river improved his hand. Now, the next person will get it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |
