Can i get my whole stack in here w/o looking suspicious?

[Morecardsplz]

I doubt this situation will happen to me again, but I'm glad I got some input.

Is the river bet really that horrible? I knew it was questionable when I bet, but the board had the T and Q, and I figured most would have bet the 9, J, K, or A. The pot was small, but against multiple calling stations, i figured that there was a little value in getting called by a pair when my button bet would look like a possible steal.

Thanks for all the quick responses =)

I 3 bet, and he 4 bets, when he says, "fold and save your money, ill even show you the Ace."

Ahhh yes. Him saying, "I'll show you the ace" implies that he does actually see there is a 4-flush on the board.

Any chance that he has 2-pair and somehow missed the flush was lost when he said this.


As for the play: on the button, with the chance that 1 player will call stupidly with his 2 red cards (or go on a crazy bluff) .....maybe I guess.
T and Q on the board helps the argument.

to the felt.... It will also help your image because you will look like an idiot

I'd feel bad about taking advantage of a drunk guy until the "I'll show you the Ace" line... then he gets stacked.

Regarding the river bet: It's not a horrible move. As unlikely as it seems that none of the gazillion players in the hand have a club, nobody has bet, you'll feel like a hero if you get the 6 or 7 to fold, and you can easily fold if you get check-raised. That being said, I probably just check at this point, but I've been known to wear a skirt at the poker table.

I'd have bet the flop and turn, but then I'd miss out on the opportunity to get into a raising war with a raging drunk.

Gotta love a drunk who thinks a player will go 3 or 4 bets on the river and then FOLD instead of call.

get your stack in there next time, there is nothing wrong with it since your opponent has decided to share information with you. Welcome to the forum.

One thing to remember is that there's nobody in between you two when it gets back to him and he decides to raise. That makes it significantly less dicey.

You go 23 bets with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and the initial reaction of most players would be 'WTF?'

But then they would remember the guy had been warned. They wouldn't be mad, maybe a bit jealous that they didn't have the same opportunity. Even if you just 3-bet it and he calls, most players will figure it out. It won't give you a 'wild and crazy' image.

Edit to Add: Different story in a (Limit) Tournament, but there the cap is usually in effect even HU until there are only 2 left in the tourny.

[n.s.]

Once it goes to 8 bets, you might as well go all the way - at this point the table is already gonna know that you saw his cards and/or had an amazing read.
