This is a flop raise I never would have made before reading about this whole Elindauer stuff.
Reads: Button is party 10/20-30/60 reg. He is fairly Laggish running something like 37/25 with a wtsd of 42 5-6 handed. He is definetely capable of folding and seems like a good and tricky player overall. Prolly a winner since he plays a LOT of hands and havent gone busto yet. SB is huge donkey. 65/20 stats and the reason the table is sweet. Loose passive postflop but capable of making stupid plays. The plan is to fold out button and hopefully win the hand UI (or improved) against the fishy SB Party Poker Limit Holdem Ring game Limit: $10/$20 6 players Converter Pre-flop: (6 players) hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises</font>, SB calls, hero calls.

I thought the elindauer raise was a river play, this is just a semibluff. I think it's ok though because in a protected pot you have a good chance of getting button to fold a better ace than you

I think he describes a spot in that articel where he raises a A high fd on the flop or turn to get the pot HU vs a fish.
But yeah, its just a semibluff albeit not one I have ever made before. Sorry if its completely standard and I just suck [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

I wouldn't say it's completely standard but this looks like an OK play in my book, albeit with a few problems. That's not a great turn card for you as it greatly diminishes your FE vs. their ranges. This is a bit of an issue because if it's still 3-ways on the river, what is your plan? There are a bunch of cards I think you can easily checkfold (kings, queens, jacks) but there are others where you still have the best hand quite a bit (but it likely goes check-check-check in those scenarios).

I don't think button is folding before the turn much. I would rather check/call the flop and donk some turns. Do you think we have less fold equity this way? Having said that we sometimes have the best hand, that along with our drawing equity means it doesn't really cost us anything.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree that I would rather c/c and donk a "safe" turn then run this c/r. I think we have greater fold equity against a TAG that way since they will read you as hitting a hand not wanting to let overcards check through on the turn and take a free card. As played the c/r on the flop builds a pot that gives the button better odds to peel the turn with overs, especially if he picks up any bd gutshots on the turn. |
