5/10 hu hands that i put here bc i damn well please
 
Villian in both of these hands is 2+2er MagicNinja. I'm not playing very well because I'm stuck to some gigantic donk on FTP, and he seems to know this, making a comment or two about hands where I get one outered in the chat. He prob knows who I am but is very unimpressed. He's playing okay, probably not his A game, and is doing weird things which may be normal to him (lots of 2x psbs, into small pots particularly, and primarily OOP). He's probably winning a few more hands than I am but neither of us are ridiculously out of line.

I have thoughts on what I think he can have here, what I think would be sick if he had here, and what he actually does have here. Is river bet sizing okay? It feels really wrong to me and I felt like I should have bet 400 or 500-600 at the time, and not something in between, so I could at least pretend to decipher his CR.

If I bet more or less or are you more or less inclined to call the CR?

FWIW, he tanked the turn good, but the river was relatively in rhythm.

What if I've got KT with one diamond? KT with no diamonds?

OK so now we've been playing for quite some time and he's up a few buyins primarily due to a 325ish bb pot with a coinflip where his AK outran my JJ pre, images are about the same, I don't think he's noticed me really trying to get unstuck yet or anything.

ninja loves c/r bluffing the river. call hand 1 please. besides, he prolly thinks you dont have a flush, would be odd for you to NOT cbet a fd.

i think hand 2 is ugh.

g-p 10-01-2007 06:03 PM

Re: 5/10 hu hands that i put here bc i damn well please
 
gotta call the first hand because he thinks you cant have flush because of your flop bet

id bet the turn in hand 2. i love doing that stuff on the river because it seems so scary but no one ever folds to it, and we probably have similiar retarded images.

Hand 1 I'm probably not betting the river if I don't plan on calling his shove. I bet the river.

Hand 2 that raise is real thin both ways. Good luck with that.

Stinger88 10-01-2007 06:40 PM

Re: 5/10 hu hands that i put here bc i damn well please
 
Hand 1 I like ur play, now call. I don't think he peels the turn with a flushdraw unless he has something else to go with it, so it's sorta unlikely, and he's def capable of bluffing.

Hand 2 I just think people hate folding AQ in this spot to much to bluff.

I can't put into words just yet why I hate hand 2, but I really hate it.

you check three streets with something that beats KQ there(obv if you have AQ and you get to river like this c/r is sweet)?

Its just that our opponent pretty much only has two types of hands after the pf/flop/turn action which are 77-TT type mid pps and broadway combos other than AK (KQ AJ AQ KJ). Now after your checks its somewhat clear (atleast to him) that his pair of jacks/queens is good and he should valuebet it so he does that and when you raise it doesn't make a lot of sense and he will then call because unless he suddenly gets some sort of stupid enlightment and thinks "wow he went all-in he must have a good hand I fold". Otherwise he will propably sum it up and snapcall with KJ. But if he is correctly thinking that your hand is what it is (TTish or lower) or AK/occasional air he might throw a bluff with 77-TT thinking you would fold 99 when he bets with 77. Now you would win by just calling. Looks like a silly spot to make a bluff when you are actually getting called with any hand that beats you even TJ and will fold any hand you beat (99 and lower).

edit: meh didnt read board/pf correctly before posting. Villain could obv have AK too but hero cant. With the reversed-to-what-I-was-thinking preflop action its easier for hero to rep Qx but I still cant see a) what villain is betting with that we wouldnt win by calling and b) what better hand he is betting and then folding. Obv. you're propably more clever than I am and will find sick metagame uses for this play if you get called.

I'll post more tomorrow, but the gist of it is that if he's b/f Qx here then he's really not b/c anything and against aejones that's just suicide in a spot where neither of you has much and both of you know this.

I thought there was more reasoning to it than that... It appears he just said to himself on the river, "he has a Q probably, or maybe a jack, but if I c/r all-in I know he'll dump it." I was hoping "genius" could come up with something worth explaining.
