A hand against Swami...
Borgata 10/20 on a Saturday night, Swami is drunk, like a skunk in a bunk, playing real junk, against a bunch of punks.
Hero in middle position with a black 44, folded to hero in MP, hero limps, one other caller to an on the button Swami. Swami raises, two callers. Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Hero bets, other caller folds, Swami raises, hero calls. Turn is a 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], hero bets, Swami raises, hero reraises, Swami calls. Rvier is a K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I check, Swami bets, hero????? |

Re: A hand against Swami...
First of all, was it folded to you in MP, if so, I'd tend to fold pf.
I don't know who Swami or what your relative position is, but I'll assume that betting the flop is right. After he raises you need to threebet. Get as many bets in on the small street as possible. As played I call the river. |

Even drunk, does swami play junk? Not really.
I hate the open limp. Clear fold pre flop. You have to pay him off because he can't put you on a set and he thinks his big ace is good. |

Re: A hand against Swami...
Swami has AK around 50% of the time, especially given the way the hand is played. Would be quite surprised if he had a 5 or was on diamonds, but then again it could be player dependent. I have to imagine your good enough here to make a call. If he has AA, KK, or sucked out with some draw, so be it.

Re: A hand against Swami...
PreFlop, In MP, I wouldn't open limp this. I'd usually fold it, and sometimes come in with a raise. I don't like the open limp.
On the flop, I would reraise his raise. Get more bets into the pot, and maintain control of the betting. As played, I called the river, but: I don't know Swami. But he is drunk? Drunk enough to think that AK, AQ, or AJ is worth a river value bet here? I don't think he has a 5. If he has a set, you have to just pay him off. If he hit his flush, so be it. The pot is huge. Folding incorrectly would be a much bigger mistake than calling incorrectly. |

Re: A hand against Swami...
I never understand why people slow down on the flop and then lead the turn.
