NL 25 -- Flopped Straight, What to do on River?
This hand was posted on a different poker forum, and I completely disagree with everyone's opinion on that site. The question here is what should the hero do on the river after facing the minraise.
I did not play the hand in question btw, I just want to read some thoughts on how you would finish it.

Re: NL 25 -- Flopped Straight, What to do on River?
For starters I want to get stacks in here. I raise more on the flop and bet/raise more on the turn. If it was r/r to 2.75 on the flop, and potted on the turn, the pot on the river would be $19.80, and the villain's remaining stack would be $15.40.
On this board, I think we should be happy to 3-bet here and play for stacks. Of course, T9 and 95 beat us, but he could have a flopped set or a rivered two pair. I definately think he calls with hands other than a higher flopped straight. If you have a read that the guy is a nit, then maybe just call. |

heros gotta fold... cuz there is a possibility that he's beat...
i think repopping it to like 12 maybe gets some value from king/tp hand, but it would be read dependant. if the villain is really agro or calls too much, re-raising seems better, if he is passive, maybe just call down. |

[/ QUOTE ] No [censored] way you should fold here. Bet more on flop/turn, try and get it all in on the river. |

It'd interesting to hear why you disagree.
Its a call/push situation, read dependent. No one here will give you the right answer. |
