little light pre but what's the problem...looks fine? Q 10 hearts or something silly beat you?

Maybe raise more pre, but the turn is my concern. Needed to shove it there I think to discourage flush/straight draws if you were going to dump the rest in on the river anyway.

Pot the flop... think about pushing turn...

Mr. GQ · #5 10-02-2007, 11:42 PM

Pissed I missed pushing the turn... instead I was value betting and maybe just abour protecting against draws... to try and pick up more chips...

You gotta get that pot inflated, w 25bb's we gotta make easy work of getting them all in there, Raise 1600 pre, looks fine after limper (pot 4300), 3000 flop, jam turn... does not tell out our hand at all.

If you were protecting against a heart draw, you did it very poorly, as you gave him correct odds to draw.

Exactly what he said.

GQ...all this is relatively minor cause you were most likely gonna get it all in on this flop at this stage...why are you so stressed? Was it your line or just the result?

I really don't think he played it too badly (though I like a turn push and I'd bump it preflop a bit more).

The flop is reasonably safe vs. a single opponent -- spade draw is possible, obv, and straight draw is unlikely (with QT the only borderline-reasonable possibility). I like that he led out and I think the size is fine.

Once he calls the flop bet, we have to think he's got AJ, J9, QT, a set, or a spade draw. I think villain calling with two hearts is very unlikely unless they're J9 or QT. You're only behind J9 (not very likely) or a set (more likely) here, so I think you're still ahead of his overall range... I'd bet out the turn and since your stack is now smaller than the pot, you need to push here. That's really the only mistake you made here.

As played, you obviously have to push the river. You now moved ahead of everything that he could reasonably have except QThh (as someone posted before). But given the pot, your stack, and the fact that you're an almost certain lock, the push is a no-brainer obv.
