Kassem D. · #1 04-19-2006, 01:28 AM

8 handed 200-400 but one player is sitting out. game is playing fast and big. i start the hand with about 42k.

dealt: AKo in the sb.

folded to active young guy one off the button. he opens to 1100, folded to me.

sometimes i call here sometimes i raise. this time i raise it to 3800. he calls.

flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - pot: $7800 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

sometimes i bet here but this time i check. he bets 6k. i call.

turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pot: 19800.

i don't have a heart. i check planning to CR AI. he doesn't comply and checks behind.

river Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pot: 19800.

i check. he bets 16k. i?

please share your thoughts on all streets and proposed lines.

I am asuming you DON'T have the K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I like to bet the fop since there are a LOT of draws on this flop (FD, GSSDs) and also get a sense of where I am at.

On the turn I like the idea of c/ring AI if you KNOW he will bet. If you lead here your line looks VERY suspiscious.

On the river just remember you checked three streets. You can have ANYTHING. I wouldn't be suprised if he bluffs here with air but then again it could also be the nuts.

I'd flip a coin and call/fold.

i really don't think calling is good here.

yeah I usually just fold

but our hand is a really good bluffcatcher.

Why not? Why raise all in here?

obv its a bluff but I think this is a bad spot to do it. we have noooo clue what villian's got here and it could easily be a FH/flush for all we know. c/r all in is pretty much repping a boat but idk if it's the best EVwise play since we are risking so much of our stack to win so little

thats why I dont like bluffraising as much as bluffbetting

What is the value of a turn check raise?
