Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

OMG I HATE THE &*#$ING MINBET ON THE RIVER. Ok so how do you counteract the river minbet when you know the guy will call like everytime if you raise, and you are positive that he has the best hand? Example Hand:

I raise CO with 99, to 120(blinds 15/30), guy minraises to 210 from the SB, I call. Flop KJT, he checks I bet 270, he calls. This guy is a calling station I know he has me beat and he ISN'T FOLDING. Turn goes check check. On the river he bets 30 chips into the like 700 chip pot? Is the info on what he is reraising preflop with worth the 30 chips or do you fold or WTF DO YOU DO IN THIS RETARDED SITUATION.

Ok I vented I am better now

From what you said, you have to call for the 1/25 times he has 88 or worst!

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

Call and laugh at him. It is so silly it is funny. I don't see why you are mad.

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

this happens alot in low limit tourneys...just call and see his hand.

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

I think you need to re-evaluate here. You're upset because another player played badly and allowed you to escape this situation without having to lose anything more than 1 bet . . . and you get to see his cards?

FYI - Your flop bet is pretty terrible (only a better hand calls you).

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

I have no idea why I am mad either, but I like never win here so I am just giving away chips, but I have to do it because of pot odds, and because I want to see his hand and AARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH

Note: I have absolutely no idea why I hate this so much, but it just GRATES ON MY F'ING NERVES.

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

I would say my flop c-bet is marginal actually, definately not terrible.

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

What hands that are beating you fold to this bet (particularly against a calling station)? What worse hands call this bet?

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

A high folds, Maybe some T's.
All Q's call this bet, and those are hands that I am beating.

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

No dude, your c-bet sucks.

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

word, when I made it it felt marginal.

Re: Frustrating as hell, not too much content
 

Yeah, thats a terrible board for 99 when you are in a pot that might call you down with a hand as bad as T8.

I just check behind on the flop. You don't have to c-bet everytime its checked to you. Also with a board like this and holding an underpair, you generally want to keep the pot small. Betting the flop just bloats the pot.

The min-bet is exploitable. figure out how and exploit it instead of getting mad.
