5/10NL - Weak?
I'm playing solid and not getting out of line (that they caught) and my opponent is pretty solid as well. Who plays this different and how? fwiw, my smallish turn bet was meant to represent a flush begging to get called.

Re: 5/10NL - Weak?
I think you're overthinking. Bet more on turn so that if you are check raised you can easily throw it away, especially without a diamond in your hand. Check behind on river is fine as you are going to have trouble getting called by any hand that you beat.

Meh. Results.
He had KQo and we chopped it up. I didn't like the hand b/c I'm pretty sure a solid player (that I percieved my opponent to be) isn't calling the turn with a weaker Q, but a river bet will get rid of AQ/KQ often times to be worth it.
Anyway, haven't played in a couple of months and now trying to "get back in shape." Any help appreciated. Kirk |

Re: 5/10NL - Weak?
your flop raise is wretched.. raise more. alot more. id make it 160.
turn is weird too generally though this is OK played, it's a medium sized pot which was limped where you have tp2k, so it's fine. I hope he had jt / qj / etc. |

Re: 5/10NL - Weak?
Do you normally make semi-bluffs that give your opponent 3:1 on the flop?

who cares? [/ QUOTE ] He should, because giving someone 3:1 when you're trying to make them fold isn't a great way to achieve that goal.

There aren't 2 different hands when you're trying to represent only one. [ QUOTE ] and here your raise is too small, gg. [/ QUOTE ] I concur. |

I would be raising this flop not because I'm bluffing (and hoping he folds).

The latter is more likely then the former. |

Re: 5/10NL - Weak?
Feel free to raise this up preflop if you like.
Raise more on the flop. Bet more on the turn, and that's the last money you put into the pot. Check behind on river is standard. |

Why would you raise the flop? [/ QUOTE ] In THIS instance with HIS holding? If I'm raising here it's because I think I have the best hand and want to charge other hands or because I think I can get a better one to fold. That's obvious crap. I wouldn't be in this position anyway cause I think I either raise or fold this preflop. I was asking him if he usually makes a semi-bluff with such a weak raise because it's [censored] and won't have much FE against the range of Villain's holdings. I think it's even worse when you're faking a semi-bluff, although he probably wasn't planning representing Diamonds until the flush hit, which I also think is [censored]. |
