Your opponent played this hand superbly. Why did you call the river?

MDMA · #**574** 02-11-2007, 11:23 AM

You are kidding right?

Gary Stevenson · #**575** 02-11-2007, 11:24 AM

bc he was drunk and playing like a retard, if he had 109 then so be it

FlyingStart · #**576** 02-11-2007, 11:31 AM

I guess easy call then. I still think his line is awesome though, but it requires a good image.

Almost noone is creative enough to turn such a good hand into a bluff in that spot which makes the bluff look more believable since Hero is expecting a river check-call or check-fold on the river from 2 pair and sets.
T9 is the only draw (besides the backdoor spades) and it now has gotten there, and the checkraise is very consistent with it.

Clayton · #**577** 02-11-2007, 11:32 AM

ya the thing is though, pulling a play to try and fold out gary's hand makes no sense, because garys hand generally doesnt fold there ever.

soooo hes basically value stacking himself.

FlyingStart · #**578** 02-11-2007, 11:40 AM

I know that, and for sure, you have to know who you would pull something like this against.

But still, if any decent player here in MSNL is faced with that checkraise from a good player, they "know" they should fold. Many do call ofcourse, and you cant really blame them. I think the move is just badass nevertheless

MDMA · #**579** 02-11-2007, 11:49 AM

Flying start, once again, are you kidding?

FlyingStart · #**580** 02-11-2007, 11:53 AM

Nope, would you call here? Im pretty sure it's a losing call which should make the bluff good according to game theory.
