Default Re: Legends of Poker $500NL Hand - Turn decision

[ QUOTE ]
What's the decision? I am not folding. If old guy has a flush in the blinds, it could be a smaller one. You only have half pot left after calling, so pushing seems better than trying to trap.

I agree with everyone. Folding isn't in discussion at all.

Push or call?
Online, this is an easy push. However, most live villains play differently than online players.

From this villain, I believe, if I push the turn, I could only get called if he has flush, Ace[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], two pair or set.

When he bets 300, assumes he doesn't have a flush or A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], his plan is to buy a draw and fold to a push, also bluff. If so, he may bluff the river too. (From his view of me, I bet the flop when checked to me and if I just call the turn, he may not put me on a made flush.)

Therefore, I decided to call the turn and call a river push if the river isn't a diamond.


As played:

I called the turn. Leaving 650 behind.

River 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
He bet 500.
As planned, I moved all-in.
