How would you play this? (Stud high)
 

The villain here I have tagged as a fish. I put the raise in on 3rd street hoping to knock out the bring in and my strategy was to play it fast to loose any other stragglers (unless they developed a scary board). How would any of you play this hand?

Re: How would you play this? (Stud high)
 

I would bet the river for value against a known sucker. Against a tricky or good player I would check behind. Your hand is pretty obvious, so either he whiffed or he's a dumbass, and I like to let dumbasses call bets.

Re: How would you play this? (Stud high)
 

I know players who raise pf with draws, buried small pairs with a scare card etc. Villain prolly thinks you did this and continue betting with two small pairs or just sixes. OR he's a fish. OR he has a higher buried pair. OR he hit trips. Nevertheless betting river is EV+ as the previous poster also stated.

steve = electrical (not nina lol) I assume?

Anyways, this looks standard to me up until the river. This guy will absolutely call with a worse two pair, and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if he has some sort of busted straight draw and called the river anyways with just his nines. There's value there, and this guy is so likely to just come out betting if he hit his hand, so I don't think there's a ton of downside to betting. I wouldn't be that shocked if he called with *just* his nines, either.

Ask him about Urge Overkill some time.

edit: Sorry for LC. I would check behind on 7th probably. I think his board is a little bit scary. Taking a c/r line on the river does not necessitate a good player. Fish use this move liberally too.

lol you girls sound like you're ashamed of them!

Re: How would you play this? (Stud high)
 

I'm going to start using "roggles" as a euphemism for boobs in conversation. It may replace "emersons."

The joke is that I am not a girl, you nerds

Re: How would you play this? (Stud high)
 

I actually kinda figured that. I think that makes "roggles" funnier.

You probably missed this thread which started out great and got derailed by non-gambling douche-bags who got wind of it on some lame-indie-band-fan-boy site.

Cool. I saw Shellac, Fugazi and Blonde Redhead way back when at the Congress Theatre ('97 or '98). I guess when you get this many people together for one common interest you will come across people who share another interest.

For the OP I think you should value bet. You can expect to get called by a smaller two pair often. The straight is not so likley because he would often come out betting hoping to not miss a bet, also 7's are somewhat dead. Same is true for an unlikely flush as far as coming out betting. He does have a relatively coordinated board and may fear you'll check behind when he has a big hand.

I play with a guy named BUSTYOU and I always parse it as "BUSTY OU" and I'm like "all right, big breasted oklahoma girl". I also play with a guy named "ImTheMouth" which I always read as "InTheMouth".

I also play with BoyPlunger and I have seen on UB, 3InputGal. Classy!

Re: How would you play this? (Stud high)
 

That probably contributes to your win rate.

I'm only sort of joking.
