$1-2 hand from Vegas

Absence of reads. I think you have to bet the turn and call a push.
you raised from the CO and he flat called. Then you fired a standard CB. He could have called that bet with AQ AJ floated behind with 99 88 77 maybe others.
You are obviously behind suited club connectors and TT. I think TT has to raise the flop with the drawy board.
Dont have Poker stove avaible to me now but our pot equity has to look pretty good.
I think it is disatraous to give a free ride to top pair and a flush redraw, even the pairs that might float have a free draw at a club. Even if he has the flush you have a redraw

Thanks for the opinions guys, it seems like we are torn on how to play this turn though.

onoble-I wasn't at the table for long enough to get a good feel on him but he seemed to be in line for the most part. He was very aggressive when he was involved in pots which put me in a difficult position here b/c I knew it could get expensive fast.

I like your advice slowjoe. This sounds like a decent strategy against a relatively unknown player.

Anyway,I decided to check/call his $50 bet(not sure of my reasoning at the time or why it's better to check call then to bet out) . River ($173)- J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], this is where I screwed up the hand and checked to him hoping to CRAI but unfortunately he checked behind. I'm sure he had something weakish or maybe even air b/c he checked without much thought so he may have not even called my river bet.


This hand illustrates an important concept of poker imo and I'm still open to suggestions if anyone else wants to chime in.

I don't like to slow roll, but if I was in this situation and had CC'd the turn, I wouldn't mind waiting to see what he flips over.
