BBV told me to fold preflop.....

Daddy Warbucks · #1 07-23-2007, 06:29 AM

I'm very new to limit, so this may be very standard. UTG is SLAG, and seems decent. CO is terrible, 80/7 i think. Is my preflop call okay? Thoughts on the river?

Fold the river.

What does everybody think of the turn donk?

The river action surprised me, because CO just kinda came to life. Obviously i should have folded after 2 more bets, but if the pot is heads up, do i bet call river, or check call?

I think this is an extremely easy preflop fold. SB at Party 5/10 is 2 dollars isn't it? If suited, and with a bigger small blind, the decision would become closer...

If the turn action is the same? You bet, he calls? This would then be an extremely easy value bet-call if HU.

Seems to me BB has either a set, or 54. His flop play could be either, but his turn play suggests 54 strongly, so does his river play.

I kind of like the turn donk, actually. UTG might have had AJ that he will check now. BB might very well have a draw or a set, he will check his draw, and bet his set, so a c/r will cost you 3 bets when behind and no bets when ahead vs him. Who knows what CO has... he is not to be expected to bet either. c/c seems too weak with top two, so I like b/c on the turn.

Other than that, yes, fold preflop, fold river.

fold preflop. when bb takes this line on the flop, he either has a set or 45.

you beat absolutely nothing rational on the river.

Not much good comes from calling an utg raise oop w/ a dominated hand...ever.

Isn't OP Schneids?

No, it's just coincidence.
