Re: set fold vs josh

Wouldn't be surprised if he overset you with the 9.

Some problems with this hand:

1. It's a limped pot.
2. Josh leads out into the field.

So, obviously his flop lead is an indicator of some strength.

Your flop raise, however, is not a sign of strength, since two people called - I suspect you can do this with a wide range, figuring Josh isn't that strong, and obviously these other two clowns aren't, and your image probably means he could call this with a pretty wide range too.

The other bizarre thing about this hand is that Josh half-potted both the flop and turn. WTF? What does that? Either the nut straight or a draw-ish hand. He could have some sort of combo draw with the 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], no? I think there's no way he has a set here - either he has the straight or is bluffing with a missed draw or overset you with 999. So my question is, are you calling here with 444 as well? To me, either both are a call or both are a fold. I think I'm calling this.

Re: set fold vs josh

I think your good enough to make this call profitable. I would have raised preflop and that would certainly help you in this hand.

As played, I would push this turn. This smells more like 4-5 rather than a set.

Re: set fold vs josh

triumph,

that is some good analysis. i agree that his half pot leads were troubling in this hand. i really thought that his turn bet was sized perfectly for me to shove over. it was almost too perfect. at this point, i believed that josh felt he had the best hand.

the problem is, i think there is a possibility that his hand was actually worse than mine. i wouldnt be surprised if he thought 45s was good here. or maybe he was trying to freeze me with something like 35d

while i didnt mention this in the op, CO in this hand was a huge station (like 38% wtsd) but josh just sat so i dont know if he knows that. if he did know that, i think he has to suspect that my flop raise is more narrow than usual.

the point you bring up with 22 vs 44 here is interesting. i think i might call with 44 here, but probably more likely than that, i would have shoved the turn with 44.

i dunno, i have been running miserably for the last two weeks, so my play has been way off. having a 39% W$SD with 21% WTSD for 6k hands makes you weird [censored] stuff.

Re: set fold vs josh

this kind of play perpetuates a downswing. push the turn.

Re: set fold vs josh

i agree there's no chance i'm flat calling the flop raise with a set

Re: set fold vs josh

Josh I can't put you on a hand. If you had the missed NF draw would you push the river?

Maybe beside the point, but I raise PF 100% here

I can't believe, as 2+2er, he is not repopping you on the flop with the straight on the flop. However, turn donk is suspicious, and I think he is trying to entice the push.

From your limp PF and your flop raise, your range is at worst 55/45, but more likely a set or 56. He knows this and I think he can beat your bottom set.

I disagree that 22 and 44 are the same hands here. 33/44 are definately possible hands for him here. 44 I shove the turn, but I think your line with 22 is fine (except PF).

I do not know who Josh is however, so his bluffing frequency is unknown to me. But, I suspect it would be higher vs. you than the average 2+2er.

Re: set fold vs josh

i'm going to try to give my opinions trying to completely ignore what i have. i think your turn flat call is very weak-looking, though my line is suspicious as well. usually when someone bets small, then bets big, it's a big hand.

Re: set fold vs josh

i hate to give clues as to what i did or did not have, but i think flat calling the flop raise with a set is really awful

i like your analysis though you don't mention what i think phil has when he calls the turn.
