This is how I would have played this in NL: con't bet 3/4 flop, 2nd barrel turn w/redraw to str/2 pr/trips, block bet on river against some villains, but usually check-call or check-fold depending on feel, hoping to induce bluff from whiffed draw.
However, I feel like this line sucked, because I'm not playing NL, and on the turn I'm likely behind. River I wasn't sure, so I fired out, but in hindsight, check-call was probably better?

I apologize if this is the worst play you've seen posted this week.

come on guys, look how badly I need your help..

milesdyson · #3 10-26-2006, 08:15 PM

overall it looks ok.

Ah8h check turn unless they peel crazy loose

AhTh fine

AcKc fine

KQo why check turn?

T9s fine

Mossberg · #4 10-26-2006, 08:16 PM

Hand 1 is good

Hand 2 is good

Hand 3 is good

Hand 4 I see no reason not to c-bet the turn.

Hand 5 is also good. You aren't "likely behind" on the turn, and the bet is standard. Giving a free card there isn't so hot, and I don't have a problem calling this guy down considering we don't know anything about him, the board is drawy, and we still have plenty of outs.

Everything is fine excep the KQ check on 8 turn. wtf is that?

sightless · #6 10-26-2006, 08:34 PM

This was my first impression as well. I glanced over the hands a bit and this is the only one I was really confused about.

I think these look mostly good to me. I might check the turn in hand 1, but a lot of people seem to peel that with gutters or any two cards higher than a 6, so I will bet it frequently as well. The AT hand I could go either way with raising the turn or calling down, but if you think his turn donk means he has the flush draw or maybe a weak ace then raising the turn is better. The AcKc hand I pitch on the turn because I find that this is a pocket pair way more often that a worse Ace or some other cheese when I get cold called on the button and raised on a flop with not so many high cards. The KQ hand I usually raise PF and definitely continue betting on the turn and the river. I like hand 5.
