Trip Aces on Flop v Tough Opponent
Villain is 23/6/2.85 over 17,685 hands. A tough, if sometimes overly aggressive, opponent who I've played a lot with. He knows me to be tighter and a little less aggressive.
Pacific Poker No Limit Hold'Em, $2/$4 (7 handed). SB ($212) BB ($150) UTG ($216) UTG+1 ($518) Villain ($390) Hero ($413) Button ($212) Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG calls, 1 fold, Villain calls, Hero raises to $18, 4 folds. Flop: ($57) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players) Villain checks, Hero bets $45, Villain raises to £122, Hero calls. Turn:($300) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players) Villain checks. Hero?? My one fairly confident read was that Villain didn't have AK-AJ as, 95% of the time, he would raise (or even re-raise) with those hands pre-flop in late position. |

Re: Trip Aces on Flop v Tough Opponent
If he is as aggressive as you say, I think you should induce a riverbet here as I don't think you will get any value from betting the turn. Check behind and call any riverbet.

I bet the turn. Don't think he's bluffing the river if we check enough to give him a free card on the turn.

I definitely felt there was a big risk of giving him a free card on the turn. Villain would definitely play suited connectors hands, even for a raise pre-flop and OOP.
If I bet the turn, though, how much do I bet? |

[/ QUOTE ] But isn't a free card here a bad thing? If I bet the turn, I'm not looking for value but hoping to either the win pot before the river or at least make Villain pay to a draw. If that's what he's on... |

Re: Trip Aces on Flop v Tough Opponent
If it's a bad thing is just a math problem. It seems you are pretty certain his range is dominated by flushdraws, so compute the EV of giving him a free card, assuming you win if a non diamond hits the river and lose with a diamond. Compare this to taking the pot down right now.
I don't have time to do it but its a good exercise. |
