10/25 live: weird betting from a greek guy
10/25, Casino Niagara, post-bachelor party so I'm somewhat drunk and kinda tired. Full trip report later.
Villain in this hand is a Greek guy who's having a good time. He seems to know a lot of the people at the table. Pretty loose, aggressive in position, not a bad player from what I've seen so far. Not given to underbetting, plays for pot control with medium made hands, etc. I've got what is probably a weak/tight image; a couple times I've bet preflop and led one or two streets and folded to a raise. We're both deep in this hand, I think he's got 7k and I cover. OK. One limper and I pop it to $125 with my A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The Greek calls on the button, he's my only customer. Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I confirm with the dealer that there are two of us, and then I say "$200 for the two of us." Greek guy calls fast. Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I check for variety's sake. Greek leads out for a massive $200. I am a bit weirded out by the bet size, but I call immediately. Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I... check? He... bets $200? I...? At this point I am definitely in WTF land with his bet sizes. He hasn't done anything like that tonight, and I don't think that's how he'd play a bad ace (one big bet then check behind, or check then throw out a reasonable bet.). There's obviously a message to me here if I can read it, and at this point in the night I can't. During this hand I felt like all the lovely ladies I was hanging out with earlier had somehow influenced my thoughts, i.e. I played it like a girl. |

Re: 10/25 live: weird betting from a greek guy
I would have bet bet like 750 on river instead of checking, as played, c/r to 800 or so I guess.
(Pot is like 1100 on river.) If he never has a bad ace here, well then obviously this idea is thwarted, but I think he can have that and that it is likely. This might actually be something like KK/QQ/JJ though if he would only call pre w/ the first two enough. |

Ya, I'd just bet 500 on river and fold to a raise.

If you think he'll bluff-raise a decent amount if you block the river, I have no problem with a check-call here. He doesn't think you have an A here.

Re: 10/25 live: weird betting from a greek guy
wouldn't he do this with bad ace if he puts you on something like QQ?

Re: 10/25 live: weird betting from a greek guy
Obviously you played this hand in a nonstandard fashion but given the weird underbet on the river I would just call expecting to pick up the pot very often. I do not think that he would pay off a check raise with most of his holdings but he sure will when he has you beat.
I dont think a little aces up with 10 kicker will think that he has a chance after a check raise |
