 $60-$120 Hand, Jim Brier, 20. Sep 2002 23:55 | ||
| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| This is a 9-handed $60-$120 game at the Bellagio. I am in the small blind with the Ac-4c. An early player and two middle players limp in. I limp for another $20 and the big blind checks. There is $300 in the pot and five players. The flop is: Qc-5s-2c, giving me the nut-flush draw, a gutshot straight draw, and an ace overcard. I bet my 15-outer. The big blind folds. The early player makes it $120. The other two players fold. I make it $180. I am 3-betting because I figure to end up with the best hand by the river and I may be able to bet my opponent out of the hand if he has a better hand. He calls. There is $660 in the pot and two players. The turn is the 9s. I bet hoping my opponent will fold and having about a third of the deck to win if he doesn't. My opponent calls. There is $900 in the pot. The river is the 8h, a total bustout. I check. My opponent bets. What should I do? A second question: Should I have bet the river? I will post the results later. | ||

| HI Jim, Terrific starting hand,perfectly played through the turn,it just didn't hit. At this point,since you didn't bet the river,I think you have to fold.I feel you should have bet the river and given your opponent a final chance to fold. | ||

| Given that you three bet the flop out of the small blind, if I were your opponent and had top pair with a weak starting hand like KQ, or QJs I check behind you on the river. I also don't get past your bet on the turn or flop reraise with a pocket underpair. To get that far, I have clubs probably KcJc, or JcTc ... 8c7c. If you checkraise bluff the river you take the pot with three out of five of those hands. I don't see your opponent catching the backdoor straight or two pair without clubs. I would expect pocket queens to have raised on the turn. So, my read when he bets the river is that he missed the clubs and maybe paired with the nine. If you just bet out on the river you get called by a queen and probably a nine as it's too obvious a bluffing situation if you were on the nut flush draw. I agree with the check on the river. If he did bet an unimproved queen and you checkraise, it would be a tough call for him to make (you're allowed to have a set of fives once in awhile from the small blind). So I think you're only dead here to JcTc or 9c8c. Slowly cut ten green birds and slide them towards the pot while trying to look not too obviously disinterested. | ||

| With over a grand in the pot, I called for another $120. My opponent said: "I missed" and mucked his hand. Despite the nice result, I don't think I played this hand correctly. Rather than 3-betting on the flop, I think I should call and check-raise the turn. This would be more effective in getting my opponent to fold unless he was on a draw which was probably the case here. | ||

| You don't know you're going to miss on the turn, and he might occasionally take the free card on the turn if you just call the flop and check. | ||

| Hi Jim This question is totally a funtion of your opponent. If he is of the texture that he would check a medium strenth hand in which he would call and if he was the sort that would check a draw if he missed I would check. If he would have a large potential to bet any missed draw I would check and call. Since the Q is out and you have the Ace there are not too many club hands he may possess unles she overvalues suited cards. If he is the sort that may fold a better hand on the river I would bet!
