Played Foxwoods Saturday afternoon / evening 20/40 when the following hand came up.
Terrible older asian (TOA) limps in UTG, Nicky M limps, I limp on the button with 10 9 (probably not a hand I should limp on the button with but I'm getting hit with the deck and I want to play pots with TOA). Blinds come along - 5-handed to the flop. Flop is J 8 4 (two of one suit - spades I think). 3 checks to Nicky, who bets. I call as do 2 others (including TOA). River is a 7 (not the flush card). 2 checks to Nicky who bets. I just call, hoping to get the others to call as well. To be honest I don't even remember if they called or not but my guess is one call and one fold. river is a useless card (no spade and no paired board). Checked to Nicky who bets, I raise, anyone who was in the hand folds and Nicky calls. I take it down. Nicky lays into me that he can't understand how I didn't raise the turn. He tells me that he had a set and that I should have raised the turn. Given that there was no preflop raise and the pot wasn't that large how much of a mistake is it not to raise the turn? I think Nick is one of the best (if not the best) regular in this game and I know that he can lay down his hand to my raise on the turn in many situations (not this one in particular with his set but I had no way of knowing how strong he was) so my thinking was that if he had a decent hand he would lay down to my raise and the others would have certainly folded if I had made it $80 on the turn so I would have made no more money. If one of the other two in this hand called the turn then I think I made another $120 by not raising the turn. All comments appreciated. |
