NL400$ A5 Rivered Two Pair

Crashem · #1 10-26-2006, 12:10 AM

Villain is 11/8/2.7 . I played a previous hand before against him where I made a river donk bet and won the pot by him folding, flop and turn were identical actions.

I donked the River in order to get value from weaker aces and because I had a history of donking the river.

What does an 11/8 player have here that you're beating? Can't be AK AQ because an 11/8 player won't float those, right?

Well the hand before I made the absolutely same move and he folded. I thought he mind consider me out of line and he is very aggressive postflop.

His line this hand doesn't look so aggressive. Maybe he floated the flop and looked to take it away with 2/3rd PSB on the turn. You lose to AJ, 78, all sets. You beat a bluff, maybe bad two pair (seems very unlikely).

I'm not sure I could find a fold on the river either but I definitely feel iffy about calling.

I would've folded the turn and probably ck/ca the river, and def. fold to his raise as played.

If he doesn't have a set, I think he has the nuts with 78s.

- Preflop it's a pretty standard call in position even for a tight player.
- On the flop he has a gutshot and position: pretty good implied odds and/or bluffing opportunities.
- He misses the turn but you check the ace, so he sees that as an opportunity to bluff. You call.
- He hits his gutshot on the river and raises for value.

Might be too loose though seeing his stats.

AJ is also possible but I think he would have raised the flop if he's so aggressive. Either way, you are probably beat but with pot odds and your hand, I would probably call too.

I was villain in the hand. I don't know if it's your sample size (I have ~600 hands against you) or your stats are just wrong, because I'm nowhere near an 11/8.
