More H from the HORSEament

[Aaron W.]

We're in the second incarnation of Hold'em. I've been raising a lot and getting away it (ie, not getting confronted). I've also been playing a little bit sloppily during the tournament, but drawing good enough cards to keep me alive and healthy. I think villain in this hand is Zeldark, but I'm not 100% that it's right.

Fire again or give up?

Why?

[Zeldark]

I confirm my villainy.

[BigBadBabar]

ah okay, openfold then

[Buzz-cp]

check &amp; reeval on river. He would probably c/r a flopped oesd.

This looks similar to the "cheap showdown" section in SSHE. As such, bet the turn and check behind on the river. Reason being is, if you're ahead it is important to bet the turn; if you're behind it will cost you 1BB no matter what. If you're c/r'd, I probably lay it down.

hmmm, does villian have the balls to (bluff) bet the river with something like A high if hero checks the turn or is he only betting if he thinks (very likely correctly) that his hand has hero beat?

Im pretty sure my autopilot would kick and and I'd bet/fold the turn and check behind the river.

The response rate has been slow enough for villain to chime in.

While Aaron claims he hasn't been caught, he may have forgot that he raised PF with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] but went on to win the hand anyways (aka, showing it). Villain noticed.

Okay, that's true. But that was also a raise from the equivalent of UTG 6-handed that got me isolated against BB who was basically all-in preflop. I wouldn't call it "getting caught", but I would (and did) say that it was clearly a bad play because BB had no stack to play with.
