I'm shoving the turn. Button has enough chips where he is calling with a king or flush draw. And if either one of them happened to have an ace, they'd instacall.

Re: (38) Results Good -- Play Bad.
This is fine, though I'd rather shove the turn. Button seems to like his hand enough to call, and if SB is on a flush draw he might call thinking his odds are too good to fold. I think any hand SB calls with on the river will also call the turn.

Re: (38) Results Good -- Play Bad.
Nice hand. You got someone to call you all the way down. I find no fault with the optimal outcome.
It sounds like you were playing from the gut and your gut was telling you to call this guy down (no raising -- don't want to scare him) and that he'd call your push on the river. Sounds like you had a conscious/unconscious read here. |

Re: (38) Results Good -- Play Bad.
As played until the turn check... I just love a turn check min-raise. Ha, but I probably would have led the flop/turn just because any time I check in a limped pot, it checks around. And you def. want to build a pot here. Worked out this time though.

Re: (38) Results Good -- Play Bad.
i dont think the line is "bad" but the fact is these types of players given the action would also pay you off at an earlier point in the hand, so i dont think it matters a *whole* lot. sometimes i lead into these types of players...meh

[/ QUOTE ] I'm shoving this turn too or at least raising it. I think you get more action from A's, K's and flush draws this way. You'll get less action on the river from an A or K if the Flush hits. |

Re: (38) Results Good -- Play Bad.
Mike, given some of the responses here, did you have a read on this guy?... instinctively. While the checking seems bad from a pure/no-read perspective, if you have a read... it really could be the right play. I might be giving more credit than due [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] , but it looks like you had a read.
"Standard" plays really go out the window if you have a read on your opponent. |

Re: (38) Results Good -- Play Bad.
I like how you played this pot because you were against 2 players. I would probably checkraise the turn against 1 player since some river cards might shut down your action.
However, against 2 players 1 of them is likely to be on the flush draw so I like keeping them both in expecting to stack one of them on the river if the flush materializes, and maybe stack the other if it doesn't. |
