Default Re: Question 21

On Q21, the thing I don't get is the min re-raise on the turn. If it's a given that you (the hero) is perceived as loose-passive, the min raise to $400 is consistent with that (though not advisable obv). But the min re-raise to $800? Would the average player be that confident with something like A-K or A-Q, practically begging for a call? There isn't even a plausible straight draw that would explain the turn betting to fill the pot.

The river bet of $1,900 is just a little over the size of the pot. If there was a hand worth drawing to, this might signal an attempt to buy the pot back with a busted draw. But given the texture of the board, I can't see this opponent getting this involved unless he had hit something good either on the flop or the turn (A-J, set?). I voted fold.

(This analysis probably contradicts some stuff I said on another recent question where I said to call an all-in. After reconsideration, I was probably wrong on that earlier question.)
