Re: Folding river when pot is big and i have to pay only 1BB
 

If you think you need better than a pair of A's or Q's postflop then you don't belong in the hand. My calling range here is basically pairs and AK.

Sorry, I don't get it. Can you rephrase?

Axx and Qxx aren't exactly good flops for hero because it often puts him in a RIO spot where he's calling down with likely the worst hand.

Hero should definitely check behind on this flop and a Q is the best card for him, even though it may not be good against KK/QQ.

Re: Folding river when pot is big and i have to pay only 1BB
 

Does anyone have an opinion on calling the cap with AQ? Without reads, 14:2 is a pretty simple fold to me against unknowns. A TAG capping from the SB has AA,KK,QQ (JJ, AK).

Flop is a check, everyting that pwned us pf is pwning us plus the unlikely KQ.

Turn: if they are still checking, I'm betting with the intention to fold to a raise, tho the A doesn't really change anyting.

River: SB has AT <<<<<< than 1 in 14 (and more likely never). The pot isnt even monstrous. If you want to see JJ you can call, its not a huge leak.

Well, in a way... it is if he gets his money out of the site in time.

Yeah, my opinion is the same as yours. Against TAGs, you pretty much fold AQo here.

I'm saying up earlier in the thread some people had said "call and hope to flop 2 pair or better" or somesuch and I'm saying if you can't trust TPTK then AQ sucks. I raise/fold preflop in LHE maybe once a year but it's always in situations like this.

I think I would've folded this one preflop. With two other players 3betting and then capping, you're probably dominated and it's not too likely that you're going to win this hand.

On the flop, I think I would check. You have middle pair (top kicker), and a weak straight draw. You're losing to basically any hand that a TAG would cap against a raise and reraise in front of him/her.

On the turn, i think i'd check behind and try for a cheap showdown. you have a decently strong hand now, though i just can't fight the feeling that you're losing to just about anything in a TAG's preflop capping range with a raise and reraise in front of him/her. i think a check-raise isn't outside of the realm of possibility, so i want a cheap showdown.

as you played up to the river, i think i'd probably fold. you've shown a lot of aggression, and the tag seems to like his/her hand enough to keep pushing against you. checking behind on the turn, i think i'd probably call the river for a single bet.

I hate the flop bet. You get check/raised there like 90% of the time.

In the 0,25/0,50 games people don't checkraise often.

there aren't that many check-raises in .5/1 either---everytime I c/r I feel I am playing fancy;-)
