Paradise 1/2 -- Should I play this slower?

He's passive post flop, and raising with more than half of your starting hands preflop is fairly aggressive.

But seriously, you know you played this hand fine and even though I am guessing you ran into quad 9s, this is incredibly standard...

While I'm glad to have someone who contributes to the 2+2 forums as much as you do to agree with how I played it, not everyone agrees. Some of the posts recommended me slowing down on the river to save a lone bet which I seriously considered at the time.

His action is confusing given his stats, though. How many hands is your read based on? I can't see this player 3betting out of the BB w/ 88 or 99 with a 7.7 PFR%, and I can't see him playing the way he did postflop with a 1.33(?) without one of these hands....

You could slow down on the river. The guy isn't a total idiot that isn't putting you on a hand. But ya never know, some do get enamored with their hands.

But losing lots of chips in this type of situation is hardly considered a big leak.

He coldcalled preflop. He wasn't in the BB.

God knows what the 3rd guy was waiting for playing all the way to the river then folding. Gotta love that action.

For all of those who are advocating a 3bet on the river, can you please give me a hand range that you are putting Villain on, and the percentage likelyhood of Villain holding each of those hands?

[foureightsuited]

Played it fine, dont look back, dont think quads, just keep raising.

Remember there are 3 times as many 88s as 99s out there.

Dont slow down please.

But does a 14.9/7.7/1.33 player play 88 and 99 the same in this position?

With his willingness to go to the felt and with every raise that he keeps throwing in, 99 must be weighted higher than 88. So it's not a sttictly 3-1 card combination ratio, and I still think it gets closer to 1-1 than most people think.

It still isn't 1-1, so cap it. Lets face it, when you have the second nuts and run up against the nuts, you're gonna (and you should) lose some bets.
