| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| This was on a surprisingly tight/passive table for Party, meaning only 3 or 4 players seeing the flop usually. Both the players who stayed in with me had the ability to check-raise the turn or even river when sittin on a monster, I didn't trust either one as far as I could spit. I had stolen the blinds a number of times already and was usually getting way too much respect for my pre-flop raises. I bet the flop mainly to get information. 3/6 TexasHTGameTable (Limit) seat5 posts small blind (1) seat6 posts big blind (3) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to boftx [ 5s, 5d ] seat7 folds. seat9 folds. seat10 calls (3) seat2 calls (3) seat3 folds. boftx calls (3) seat5 calls (2) seat6 checks. ** Dealing Flop ** : [ 3d, 7c, Js ] seat5 checks. seat6 checks. seat10 checks. seat2 checks. boftx bets (3) seat5 folds. seat6 calls (3) seat10 calls (3) seat2 folds. ** Dealing Turn ** : [ Ah ] seat6 checks. seat10 checks. boftx checks. ** Dealing River ** : [ As ] seat6 checks. seat10 checks. boftx checks. ** Summary ** Board: [ 3d 7c Js Ah As ] boftx [ 5s 5d ] [ two pairs, aces and fives -- Ah,As,Js,5s,5d ] seat6 [ Ts 8d ] [ a pair of aces -- Ah,As,Js,Ts,8d ] seat10 [ Qd Td ] [ a pair of aces with queen kicker -- Ah,As,Qd,Js,TdQd(kicker card) ] Should I have bet out on the turn and/or river? | ||

| Yes. I would have bet the turn representing the ace after play had been checked to you. I'd guess your opponents would have folded. But after the turn is checked around, I would definitely have bet the river. The turn play would have convinced anyone who had an ace and was planning to check-raise that such a play wouldn't work. They wouldn't try an attempted check-raise again. If they had the goods, they would have bet out. Once it's checked around again, I'd be fairly certain that your hand is good. If you bet, there's a good chance no one will call, but it's possible that someone with a high card would pay you off, thinking you might be bluffing. I think it's a chance worth taking. | ||

| hey boftx, with your position, i would have bet the river after not getting raised on the flop and no bet on the turn. ----------------------------------------------------- "I prefer talking with old persons of the female sex who peddle family gossip; next, with the insane-and last, with very sensible people" -S.
