Re: Stars $50 50K...turn set in multiway pot...ugly river...line check
I dunno, it just seems like you're turning it into a bluff. If you can win the pot when overs hit and you don't improve, you can almost certainly win the pot with good old fashioned aggression.
I could be way off base here, but I've never been accused of being weak tight... |

Re: Stars $50 50K...turn set in multiway pot...ugly river...line check
The reason for raising to t160 is to cut down the field, and for value. It's a pretty standard raise I don't think it turns your hand into a bluff at all, people limp utg level 1 with a wide range of hands, it doesn't mean they have Aces / Kings.
Edit: and obv I'd raise to the same amout with anything I'm raising in this spot (i.e. 3 limpers). |

[/ QUOTE ] definitely agree I was turning it a bluff...I think it was a worthwhile one as villan showed no strength and the chips in the middle were huge in relation to my stack...toss out a range for the villan if you don't mind Brandi... [/ QUOTE ] We're still talking pre, right? Crazy wide, 35 sooted Kx sooted, Ax off, small pairs... After your raise, likely the first caller or 2 had PPs or strong aces, but after that the other donks probably just thought OMG pot odds!? and called with 35 or whatever. I don't mind the raise pre too much if you're playing it as a bluff/semi-bluff. I'd just expect that normally you're not going to get much action from junk hands and end up winning 90 chips. Obv I was wrong in this case. [ QUOTE ] the chips in the middle were huge in relation to my stack [/ QUOTE ] There really wasn't much in the pot before your raise... I suggested a smallish raise to intentionally keep the limpers in and play for implied set value. That's generally a limit poker move, raising and expecting no one to fold, but you have enough equity that it's profitable even though you lose the hand most of the time. I think it's a concept lost on most NL players that it's frequently the best play to NOT narrow the field. I'd prefer to see the flop 9 way and try to hit a set and make the isolation move with 78 or something like that. |

Re: Stars $50 50K...turn set in multiway pot...ugly river...line check
Just to clarify, whatever my results or yours are, I want any of you to say so if you disagree with me. I make mistakes all the time, but we're here to help each other learn and a simple "you are wrong" doesn't help.

agreed...discussions have been invaluable. I do reserve to right to make sarcastic comments to certain posters in certain spots
