tough river spot vs tough 2p2er
 

this is a online 5-10 hand vs 2p2er whitelime. we know who each other is, we chat strategy and other stuff regularly on AIM. generally, we stay out of each others way to some extent, but this is mostly WRT PF type of stuff.

4handed game.
eff stax, 1220.

whitelime opens UTG for 35, button calls, sb folds, i call in BB w/ 55

flop comes Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img](110)

i think whitelime is capable of doing this with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], but i would prob still give him credit against you bc its not a play he would necessarily make vs you. hes also def capable of calling turn w the nuts

Re: tough river spot vs tough 2p2er
 

Can you give us any more reads on the game and the villain at the time? If he turned the nut flush wouldn't he be raising to build himself a pot?

He could have A10 with the ace of clubs but would he make that type of move with the straight? This one is super hard because your hand is totally disguised, its hard to tell what he has you on.

I'm going to hold out to see if there are any more reads you can give us before I give my answers.

a good player knowingly pushes this board against a known good player can't be all that great a spot for you. That said I used to love to pull off nutish low bluffs against my friends and show it, so I'd have to factor in the "friend bluff" a bit but it still looks like a fold considering all factors.

Re: tough river spot vs tough 2p2er
 

Because I'm usually such a nit this is a good time for me to pick him off with anything, but you're not me. I'm voting fold solely because he knows you're aggro and probably calling a bunch of stuff here fairly often.

Tc8c can't be all that much better, but would he ever just call a set or KcKx on the turn?

Not to shove the river with.

Re: tough river spot vs tough 2p2er
 

Hmm. his pf range is huge.

his flop check is interesting. Could be ace high flush draw. Its never QQ or JJ. Could be something like gutshot.

He doesnt call your 2/3 pot bet with AT or so, MAYBE A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Tx. Unlikely any one pair hand checks the flop as well.

Clearly on the river his bet is a nuts or nothing push, as h's not value pushing KQ type hand nor can I believe he checked a set.. or called a bet on the turn with a gusthot (unless th gutshot had a NFD too)

did you initially bet that w/ the intention of folding ot a raise?


this would be so much nicer if he just bet the f'ing flop, button calls, you c/r, and push any turn! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, you're probably right to fold this river. but I can understand calling.

as said in my post, it's nuts or nothing. Clearly if he has nothing it's a combination of A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]X. The X could be something like AJ, AK, etc. that he checked th flop with. (xouls understand) a hand like top pair cant beat all his bluffs, and should be folded. a hand like a flush is the same as a set, as it beats all one pair bluffs. if you call w/ the set you call with those too. although having the flush yourself leaves fewer combinations of flushes he could have, so on that basis id be more apt to call with a flush myself.

If you call with one you should call with all 3 IMO, and vice versa.

Personally since all I do is call too much, I'd call all 3. Although you probably see A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]X[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] very often.
