I felt this line would do best to get some money out of AK and possibly fold out JJ/QQ. Thoughts on this? Does anyone donk here? It's cheaper for sure, but not as strong as check-raising, and if I donk and it's called, I haven't learned much.

Did you have a read?

RapidEvolution · #3 10-14-2007, 09:15 PM

I was new to the table and I'd seen villain stack off with AA on a pretty dangerous board. Other than that, nothing really as I was at table for about an orbit.

at 25NL i have seen a lot of people play this weakish line on the flop with big overpairs probably hoping for some action. I'd put him on AA or KK.

RapidEvolution · #5 10-14-2007, 09:29 PM

Yeah I thought the flop bet was really weak and was either AK/AQ looking for a cheap steal or KK/AA looking to keep me around to build a big pot. Also, is this just a c/f on the flop?

I think your line is fine here. I play it the same unless I have a read on villain.

EN09 · #7 10-15-2007, 02:15 AM

why c/r the flop and not lead out on the turn? certainly the 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] didn't change the strength of your hand in the villains eyes. i'd like to know what you thought villain was putting you on.

[/ QUOTE ]Villains range is small and has many more hands that beat us than hands that we beat. I don't particularly like the flop line but I have a hard time coming up with a better one.

the way it was played, villain is calling $2.50 more into a pot that is now $8.85, close to $9. i'm thinking... i raised preflop and called a reraise, now i have an overpair to the board. shouldn't i lead the flop here - say pot or the $3.50 making the pot just over $7 - and then fold to a raise or if called, c/f the river? i must be missing something here.

btw, great job on the raiders today!

c/c flop, play poker on the turn, but start by checking again.

c/r isn't that bad. I guess you c/f the turn as played, but i don't like the spot.
