I cannot believe how often I see it. What's the point of betting 60 into a pot of roughly 1500? It actually took me a minute to think about it. First of all, I'm assuming nobody is stupid enough to do that as a stone cold bluff such as a missed heart draw or 10-9. Therefore, I'll assume he at least has something. If he made his draw with something like 6-5, wouldn't he bet a little more than 60? I mean, if you're going to call those bets on the flop and turn trying to make a hand, don't you want some value when you finally do get there? The same logic applies to hands like 77 or 8x. If I have that big of a hand that I'm just check-calling to the river with, I'm going to actually lead out with a real bet on the river, not a painfully donkish min bet. This reasoning led me to question whether he could actually have a very strong hand. My conclusion was that he probably had Ax. It just seemed like he had a little something but didn't want to get a lot of money in the pot on the river. For this reason, I actually considered putting in a decent raise. Finally, I just decided he wasn't going to call a raise with just an ace. I just called. My question is, would you guys consider raising in this situation? Also, I know I bet less than what would normally be advised on the flop. I was aware of it at the time and did it intentionally to encourage ace-rag to hang around. Please just concentrate on the river. That's where my question lies. Thanks. </font> <font color="black"> </font> |
