Turn Checkraise, River Bet
Juiced up table. I have A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the SB. A very loose player limps early. Folded to a solid player who raises in the cut-off. Back to me, I three-bet, loose player insta-calls and the cut-off caps. I call, loose player calls. Three of us to the flop.
Flop comes 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I check, loose player checks, cut-off bets, I raise. Now the loose player three-bets and the cut-off caps. I call and the loose player calls. The turn is the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I check, loose player checks and the cut-off bets. I raise. Loose player calls cold after debating whether he's capable of laying his hand down or not. Cut-off folds. The river bricks off. I bet. Thoughts on all streets? Thanks, Jeff |

Re: Turn Checkraise, River Bet
The preflop and flop seem like no brainers.
I'd probably just call the turn bet hoping to improve. The cutoff played his hand like a flush draw, and I'd hate to have to pay a lot to hit a flush on the river. In light of the turn play, I agree with the river bet. If the loose player hesitated on the turn, he probably didn't have a draw (if he had a draw, I'd want to check to induce a bluff). Based on the loose player's turn action, I'd say there's no risk of a river raise, and since you're going to have to call a river bet, you might as well bet yourself. |

Re: Turn Checkraise, River Bet
I think this hand was played well.
The loose early player checking the turn makes it unlikely he has a flush. He probably has a 9 with a decent kicker and once it gets bet and raised back to him he wants to find out where he is at. Once the cutoff reraises he knows. But then again, why didn't he bet the flop? He could easily have two pair since he is loose and may have slowed down because of the flush. The reason for the turn check-raise is to make both players pay for whatever they are drawing to. The pot is big so protecting your hand is the most important thing here even though you may be behind to the early limper. My gut tells me to check the river here. You have played your hand strongly on every street which may have slowed ep down. |

Re: Turn Checkraise, River Bet
After further review, I think you are definatley beat here by EP. I just check-call river although I think your opponent is going to check behind and then show you two pair.

Re: Turn Checkraise, River Bet
I can't imagine playing this any differently in a juiced up game. Check/calling the turn here would be way too weak and leaving money on the table, plus EP could have many weird draws that need to be charged and you should have CO beat almost every time. River is good because once he got there, well you know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I too cannot imagine taking a different line at any stage of this hand. |

Re: Turn Checkraise, River Bet
If I check, won't he bet two pair if that's what he has? If I bet the river, what percentage of the time will I be called by a worse hand?
Not that I'm capable of check-folding really, but if I check, what hands will he bet that I beat? He'll know I'm not folding so he'll only bet if he correctly puts me on my hand and can beat it. I guess he'll make a bluff now and again - so is the river a check-call or bet? Jeff |

[/ QUOTE ] why can't CO have an overpair? 99 is somewhat unlikely because of the PF cap, and overpairs tend to either feel invincible on the flop, or like "oh well the pot is big gotta PROTECT/spew" |

Re: Turn Checkraise, River Bet
CO is raising turn w/ overpair so why not bet out.
