Preflop is not too hot really ... OOP unsuited = hard to play unless you flop 2pair+.

Flop fine. Turn ... eh, I could go either way, I think it's fine. River is pretty hot.

His river bet looks a lot like valuebet and we aren't really beating anything what would bet for value? Isn't this clear fold against random if we don't know that he is capable to bluff or retarded somehow?

QJo with lack of initiative, position and carries horrible amount of reverse implied odds should make this -ev. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok, PF is not too good I know. Wouldn't have called if it wasn't a minraise of course, but still.

Postflop ok? I've had some comments on the river call. Turn I'm not sure either...

I think your postflop line is fine, I would vb the river though

Praetor, why don't you check-call the flop here? He's going to c-bet like 95%.

I dont specifically think leading is better - but I think its fine

Pomtidom · #9 12-15-2006, 08:41 PM

He minraised PF, in my experience the odds of him cbetting is definitely not 95%.
