Was I right to slow down on the river
Im a very new player and this was the first time Ive gotten AA playing online.
UB .25/.50 (by the way dows anyone know of a converter for UB histories?) DeadWallet has A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in CO UTG folds, UTG+1 limps, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, DeadWallet raises, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls. Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1, checks, DeadWallet bets, BB raises, call, call, call <font color="blue">uh-oh looks like BB might have a set</font> Turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] cool, made the straight, dont have to worry about the set anymore. BB bets, call, call, DeadWallet raises, call, call, call River: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] <font color="blue">on no, a flush with all this calling Im sure someone was on a flush draw but I dont want to fold the AA's so I go into call mode</font> BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets, DeadWallet calls, BB folds, UTG+1 folds Results (white):<font color="white"> MP2 shows Ks6s and my hand is good afterwords MP2 says "worth a shot" </font> Im looking for comments on the hand in general, but mostly on slowing down because of the 3 flush on the board. I would have bet if it had been checked to me, but in retrospect, I dont think anyond without a flush would have called so that probably would have been a mistake... what do you think? oops meant to post this in micro limits |

Re: Was I right to slow down on the river
I doubt the final heart made the flush. If a diamond came I would have been more concerned. I raise the river and possibly get a nine to call or even two pair. You may end up even splitting the pot with another ace. Or if you think that a weaker hand will call but not call a raise and you can win the extra bet.

Re: Was I right to slow down on the river
i think you played it fine. hands like k6o will probably fold the river here after making a stab at it, and you'll get called or reraised by better hands.
also, a "set" is a pocket pair + 1 on the board, e.g. 55 with an AK5 flop. A5 with a K55 flop is "trips". |

Re: Was I right to slow down on the river
Other than being WAAAAAAAAAAAY too quick to put BB on a set just because he check-raised a flop bet that Ray Charles saw coming, you played fine. I would've thought about 3-betting the flop, but raising the turn is a good play here too. If the turn isn't a K, do you still raise it? On the river, you may get called if you raise, but going for the overcalls makes more sense.

Re: Was I right to slow down on the river
I might consider the BB with a flopped straight check/raising to make the diamand flush draws pay double. Which means only the non-diamond 10's (3 outs) makes your hand.
And low and behold, what comes on the turn... I like your raise on the turn with the nut straight, making flush drawers pay even more. Even though you may be chopping the pot with another ace. |
