Interesting hand against Nam Lee in Shooting Stars - Page 2

Well, this is another reason why I hate betting flop. We have a real ugly situation here. If you go all in, he's calling with every ace like 95% of the time, and even some pocket pairs. I think you need to check and [censored] pray that a heart falls because you need it.

i hate both streets to this point, so I think there's no good option. I suck it up and shove to get him to fold KK/QQ which I think are a decent portion of his range. Either way this hand sucks.

bah humbug...dont let these squeezers get to you...you made it as far as u did for a reason and no need to put ur skirt on now... ...i dont mind betting the flop at all....

To me, there is very little chance he is checking an ace in that spot, so I would deifnitely take a stab at the pot...Considering he just calls your bet, i find even less likely still that he has an ace, and you can shove the turn also...if he is really check/calling a hand on the flop that can call 70k more on the turn, then god bless him. I think there is an extremely good chance he has some mid pair or something and he will not stand the heat of a second bullet. I think checking behind is very weak and if your image is what I think it is, Nam could certainly be testing you with his flop call, just to see if you have the balls to fire that turn bet.

I can feel a heart coming anyway.

Sheets,

You think middle aces aren't capable of check/calling the flop?

NoahSD · #15 03-03-2006, 04:18 AM

I think flop is close and depends mostly a lot on context. If he thinks your a nit, for example, you should probably bet because this makes his check much less likely to be a trap.

You're pot committed now; he's not going to put you on a flush draw; push.

So how did this hand end?

SS,

Sometimes I will bet the flop, sometimes check. Based on the action so far, I would shove it in on the turn.

is the least important question here...

i'd take the free card on the turn and if it hits you're definitely either inducing a bluff or hes firing his ace/set/whatever.

Sheets,

Do you think 70k more into this pot is going to get 99-KK to flod here as well? Nam has a bunch of chips and knows that checking here is with the intention of calling barring some tell that lets him no SS has the ace. Very dangerous to bluff at an Ace high flop when preflop raiser checks. Sounds to me like your beingset up or read like a book.
