I think you played the hand great, but what happens if he raises?

If you are HOWMANY, you threebet him for value, and call his 4th for value.

I'm not really sure but this is the sort of spot where he would c/r me and I told him that I was afraid he would c/r me as I was betting.

Very nice hand. I assume the river is a value bet and you want a call? Obviously he isn't folding a better hand, but if he calls with AJ of spades then that's cool. In the heat of the moment I'd probably just take the showdown and expect to win against 65 or something. But I don't know how MrGatorade plays. If you bet, I assume you know he'll call often enough with worse A-highs and maybe even K-high.

Yes this is a value bet, never in a billion years would he or should he fold a better hand here. He loves to c/r this sort of flop with like everything but his turn check is pretty consistent with a "made" hand. However you must consider that against me his KT could be a made hand. As much as I hate to value bet someone's hand for them and see his A2 or 33 it would pain me to miss a bet.

I think you missed a bet on the turn.

bakku · #9 09-10-2007, 05:54 AM

i'm betting the turn for value. it makes no sense for crazy mike to check a made hand on the turn as he doesn't expect you to bet unless you have something

He likes to c/r me a lot in this spot because he knows I can't just check unbeatable hands like A or K high. I had to think a long time before checking here. When I say a long time I mean like 5 seconds, but I usually do everything without thinking at all, so it seemed like a long time.
