Default Re: MLET Challenge: Sleeman Action

i thiknk you misunderstood me.

I fold when he's winning. I call or raise when he's beat.

There's very little middle ground there when he leads the turn, as the only better hand he can possibly force out is specifically A8, and that one I'll consider showing down.

If he checks the turn though, I'm very likely to bet again or to check through and call a river bet, both of which are mistakes in this specific hand. Thrakkar thinks that the only way he can win is to push me off of a jack I guess, but the fact is that he'll never be able to do so and will get valuebet to death when I do have a jack.

bottom line: On the turn Thrakkar has a medicore hand on a semi scary board vs an aggressive and thinking opponent. His best bet is to either let me bluff or move on to a better spot. Leading out there allows me to play perfectly.
