6 handed game, I open raise in the HJ with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], CO calls, button calls, big blind calls.

CO and button I have never seen before.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I bet, CO calls, button calls, BB folds.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I check, CO bets, button folds, I call.

River 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I check, CO bets, I call.

I'd bet the turn too. no reason to think we're not still ahead and we don't want to risk giving a free cards now that the pot is getting big

anyone think this is a PF fold unless the table has been running very tight?

As played, bet the turn. c/c riv.

yah fold preflop

Freecard schmeecard, someone is going to bet when we check here and sure the J river is puke but the Q is probably pretty nice because we can bet/call when CO holds A Q and make button think about his weak K or vice versa. The river A is usually fold city.

A freecard doesn't seem nearly as disasterous as b/f or b/c and call river . . .

i b/f turn and c/c river

It's fine.

mvoss · #8 06-20-2007, 05:06 AM

I think preflop is a fold and that postflop is fine.

why do you prefere c/c tna bet/fold on the turn?

Because people don't always have what they represent. However many people will double-barrel when check to with all kinds of hands here (basically all pairs and str8 draws).

Say you had 88 and goofball raised pf, c-bet the flop and then "gave up" and checked the turn. Wouldn't you fire two barrels expecting to have the best hand most of the time?
