Default Greg\'s Digest

OK, so I will analyze the hands in this thread. I am going to do this for the first day, but in the future I would hope some mod will PM me 3 threads which seem to be generating discussion. For now, I am browsing the front page, and I will try to find interesting hands to me.


The first hand is from this thread with aislephive: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...0&fpart=all . I am picking this hand because I scrolled through some replied and they were all different. OK, now I'm going to look at it.

Preflop is fine/standard. Flop is standard. Turn is good. The river looks like a clear bet to me. The villain has just called, called, and called. There is no reason to think you are behind to something like a full house, and any spade is calling you. I think a nice hefty bet here, of about 66-72 is good. You can fold to a raise, but I'm not sure that you will ever be raised by the nut flush even. The chances of you having a full house is much greater, and your opponent knows this (maybe?)

Additionally, a way to improve this post, instead of just listing 33/8, is to say your reads. How has the opponent been playing, in terms of aggression, etc. How have you been playing? Is he smart enough to know this? Over how many hands? These things will help give others a better idea of the table dynamics, which is critical to making the correct decision.

OK, that will be a sample for me. I am going out drinking right now, let me know what you think, and what can be added.

What happened ike? I have some memories of you being a fine strategic poster, and now all you do is stir up [censored]. Why not just not post instead if it makes you so mad?

you admitted it was +EV right? I don't really care what you think of it, I just don't see why you gotta dump on everything around here. The last three threads I have read that weren't hand posts you have been in them moaning. It's pretty obvious you don't like that kind of thread, so try not going into them so that others don't have to put up with your negativity.

I'm not a fan of this analysis at all.

this isn't true like 90% of the time. this is BvB no?

I also think this is a good time for a "value check". I doubt villain is looking you up with ace/two pair/set here very often. I only see him calling with a random club, and that isn't very likely. Checking, however, gives the impression that you hated that 4 flush and gives the villain an opportunity to try to steal the pot. You also lose about the same amount if you were to b/f.

This obviously changes if the player is always a station.
