Default There\'s Nothing to Post About

That's what I've been told about this hand. But, well, I'm bored so I'll post it.

Charged up live 40-80 Hold Em game. A tight player raises under the gun. Three people coldcall. I call in the cutoff with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The BB, a solid but not over-the-top aggro pro, also calls.

The flop comes 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Not bad. BB checks, UTG bets, one caller, I raise. It's folded to the BB who now takes the action to three-bets. UTG then caps the betting. The limper folds and I call to the obvious frustration of the UTG player. The BB also calls.

The turn brings the 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. BB now leads out, UTG calls, I call.

The river brings the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. BB bets, UTG mucks in frustration. Your action.

Jeff

i must have misread something, because i can't think of any reason why this isn't a raise. the real question is what to do if 3bet.

You've rivered most of his range. 75s makes up only three combos. Raise-call.

What in his range still bets the river? What do you think he puts me on after cold-calling preflop, raising the flop and calling the cap, then just calling the turn? If he reraises, what percentage of the time would you say I am being pushed any money?

Probably out of my element here, but a couple of thoughts.

Couldn't he put you on A7 of diamonds, or thereabouts?

More specifically for his hand, his line seems much more like a set than 75 to me. Wouldn't 75 check the turn to the capper, to let you guys put bets in the pot before raising?

I'd raise the river.

the board's not paired, there's not a flush. the guy has represented nothing but an overpair and has given us no reason to believe anything different. raise so he can make a crying call or 3bet with TT. don't get me wrong, i suck and may be missing something. but i'm raising, calling a 3bet or capping depending on my mood, and dragging the pot a reasonable amount of the time.

If he puts me on this, what purpose would be served by betting the river?

I would think so. But the capper showed obvious frustration with my immediate call of two more cold which was clearly not an act. So perhaps the BB figured there was a greater than normal likelihood of the turn being checked through. And, if it was an act by the UTG player, maybe he can get three bets in.

FWIW, I was convinced I was against a set on the flop and turn. The river was where one could see being a bit concerned.

I highly doubt I am going to get three-bet here by a set. After all, if I had a lower set, why would I not raise the turn if I was going to raise. Why would I raise the river when what would be a scary card for me comes out? Also, if I 4-bet him, that would not be a cap and I could be raised again.

Maybe you play in games that are much more loose aggro than I do, but if I get reraised I am dragging this pot somewhere in the realm of never against this opponent.

You lose if 3-bet and I don't think a human alive can fold. This is a call.
