Re: 5 CD nl .50
Your hand is too good to call and not good enough to trap
call with (e.g., quads) so you should reraise before the draw. Given that you drew two and checked, you have an automatic payoff here (you should be calling this bet at least with a frequency of about 45% and I'm assuming that your hand would be clearly in about the top 45% of your range. You have an easy payoff and a checkraise is incorrect but could work out depending how often the button pays off. |

Re: 5 CD nl .50
Thank you.
I've a lot to learn about draw. I folded. I thought this was a classic case of being wa/wb. I see how c/rai is not good because of this. Subsequent hands i noticed when he drew two, he held an ace with his pair, but also noticed that he checked called with QQ33x. I'm not convinced he'd be as aggressive with two pair, unless he had aces up. Are you basically saying the value of my hand here is a mandatory call? Thanks again, any recommended reading material? |

Re: 5 CD nl .50
Thanks for making the HH easier to read for us, I hate when people just copy past pokerstars HH and when there is a consistency with hero / screename, mixing it up is fun.
Otherwise why exactly would you ever think that your hand is no good ? |

Re: 5 CD nl .50
My apologies, genuinely thought i had a consistent HH. Pees me off too.
I think my hand is no good here, as i don't think he bets out enough 2 pair hands here often enough. This is what i think now, but know that i'm not good at this variant. |

Re: 5 CD nl .50
He probably thought you had AAK,KKA or a small pair with an ace/king kicker. If he had not seen you before then he probably took you for a donk who would call with AA or KK postdraw.
These musings are from a limit draw perspective. You will need a big bet draw specialist to verify them... |
