A9o steal

Riku · #1 09-03-2007, 05:48 AM

10 max. Villain is unknown.

It's folded to me on the button. I raise with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB folds, BB 3bets, i call.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB checks, I go wtf and check as well.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB bets, hero...

From my experience, the 3bet check line from villain is usually a strong hand (not this particular villain, but in general). But since i know that my memory is selective and i tend to remember the bad things better than good things, it's possibble he's got pockets like 55-99 or a weaker Ax. So i call down ?

What if i had A4o ?

there's pretty much no difference between having A9 & A4 here, on this board.

I call down from turn as well, & expect to either see KK o a smaller pp, sometimes AQ/AJ, & on some occasions KQ/KJ (only against the truly strange opps).

I'd call down any A here. It seems like whenever a preflop aggressor checks the flop these days it's a monster, but I still think you'll see a lower PP or something really strange here often enough.

call down

I think there is the possibility that his flop check indicated weakness and that he bet the turn because you checked behind on the flop.

I would also call down from the turn with top pair. However, I think that I would have bet the flop when checked to, without fearing a check raise.

Im not sure i like the bet.

1) This line is often a flopped monster.

2) He's probably not going anywhere anyhow even if we bet.

3) Im not sure we have the best hand.

check flop good
call turn
call river, or bet if checked to

pretty clear wa/wb

I suppose we are not far ahead of A2-A8, because several cards can come down on the river for a chop.

I would call down. Like u said we are probably beat, but checking this board is a terrible play by villain. So maybe he holds like QQ and went like: 'f* I also flop an OC! It's so unfair I'm gonna check so I don't lose more when I'm raised.' Who knows.

My logic in summary:

The flop check is very stupid -> villain is very stupid -> he can hold a lot of weird hands -> we must call down
