Re: Razz - Thin value bets on 6th and 7th
[ QUOTE ]
say villain raised with kq4 and catches a 5 on 4th whilst we called with our 346 and catch a j o 4th. he bets and we fold. tell me, is folding correct in this spot?
[/ QUOTE ]I'm not much of a fan of the theory that there are "correct" or "incorrect" moves in poker. I see where you are with this hypothetical. You can also set up a hypothetical in which raising gave villain the odds for a "correct" call if he bricked 4th and then goes on to win the hand. Even Sklansky doesn't suggest always raising 3rd, after all, and on this short board the chance that villain has a brick in the hole is higher than normal.
I'd call a brick in this case, the OP might, also. See, I can take that raise I saved myself on third and just apply it here. Then he thinks I'm weak and playing "incorrectly." All good things for getting him to come along when he should fold.
