We need to call more often on the river after inducing a bluff.
Here are three hands where I make an attempt not to be so weak-tight. In each of them I induce a bluff on the river and call with great emotional distress.
HAND 1 Seat 1: x ($103.50) Seat 2: Villain ($65.40) Seat 3: x ($56.60) Seat 4: x ($0) Seat 5: x ($18.30) Seat 6: Hero ($100.40) <font color=" blue">Hero is UTG with one blind+dead poster posting. Villain is semi-tight, above-average but probably a breakeven player.</font> *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Hero [K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] Hero raises to $5, x folds, Villain calls $5, 2x folds <font color=" blue">Kind of a marginally +EV play, no? Raising KQo from UTG, but there is dead money in the pot.</font> *** FLOP *** [Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] Hero bets $10, Villain calls $10 <font color=" blue">Standard 4/5ths pot CB</font> *** TURN *** [Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] [7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] Hero bets $14, Villain calls $14 <font color=" blue">Villain's range includes a flush and a straight draw and a slowplayed set.</font> *** RIVER *** [Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] [9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] Hero checks, Villain bets $20, Hero calls $20 <font color=" blue">Since I only have TPKK I just check, hoping to induce a small bluff, right? I suppose I could have put out a blocking bet but I might have been called only by hands that beat me and he would have folded any potential bluffing hands. Since my whole point was to induce a bluff I HAD TO CALL, since I'm trying to become less of a "weak" player. Now I know a call is "weak", but folding seems weaker and betting out seems dumber.</font> Results in white. <font color="white">*** SHOW DOWN *** Villain shows [A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] (a pair of Nines) Hero shows [K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] (two pair, Queens and Nines)</font> HAND 2 Seat 1: Villain ($101.50) Seat 2: x ($164.60) Seat 3: Hero ($125.05) Seat 5: x ($250.80) Seat 6: x ($134) <font color=" blue">Hero is in the BB.

If he had aces or a flush, wouldn't he bet a bit smaller to have me make a crying call? I'm not suspecting a flush since he is TAG and most TAGs dont re-raise AKs. Even if he did have AKs, I have the suited K, so he would have to re-raise with AQs, which is not likely.</font> Results in white. <font color="white">*** SHOW DOWN *** Villain shows [Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] (two pair, Queens and Eights) Hero shows [K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]] (two pair, Kings and Eights)</font> I couldn't find a converter that could handle Full Tilt text, so I had to format myself, it took forever so no tl;dr's ppl! |
