AQs blind battle

Alobar · #1 08-05-2007, 04:53 AM

Wasnt sure what to do on the flop. I figured I would call cuz I didn't wanna fold a worse ace with a raise, and maybe he would 2nd barrell me on the turn hoping I had a weak ace he could get to fold, or maybe just think I had a smaller PP he could value bet. I wasnt sure what to do if he shoved tho, if he had should I Fold? Or in a blind battle like this with TP 2nd kicker am I just looking to get it all in? When the board paired I shoved since his bet was so small and I thought a weak ace might call hoping he had lots of outs to a chop

no reads?

i raise a bit more pf. rest of the hand is fine, i think, though i can see an argument for just calling the turn.

since the board is so dry just call the turn. if there was even one flush draw or OESD out there i would shove.

I like the way this hand was played. The pot is big enough that Hero should get called by all worse Aces. Actually he'll probably call off with just about anything.

This looks good to me. An SPR of about 4.3 is probably pretty good against this opponent with this hand. Once you hit TPGK on the flop, you're going to the felt unless villain does something ridiculous like open-shoving. On a board that dry, I like waiting to the turn there.

My first thought was "LOL"

But then my second thought was, "wait, he might be serious..."

Nerd,

1. Haven't I trained you over in Micro to never use "to see where you're at" as the reason for doing anything?

2. If you're addressing the man, at least capitalize his name.

Yes, I know you mean it in the "posting blind" sense

Haha, I think most of the newer people typing grunch have no idea it's a person.

I wonder if they say grunch in the NL forums?
