Horse H/L hand Should I be worried here?

[greyhawke54]

Did I play this like a monkey? Also what do you put my opponent on here. I dont have much of a read here, but I have not seen him do anything completly stupid. He is tighter than most of the table, but that is not hard to do. Most will play anything for a limp.

I don't like the river raise because it seems you're more likely to lose the whole pot than win it. (Not that either is very likely.)

Otherwise this is fine.

[Brad1970]

Then general rule is that split K's aren't worth much on 3rd in a hi/lo game. But, I don't mind jamming if it will get alotta folds as it did in this case. Fortunately, you improved & alot of low cards are out. You're most likely good.

For future reference, if this occurs in a multiway pot with lots of action & you brick on 4th, consider folding.

[greyhawke54]

I raised here as I did not see any aces out, and I was in very early position. I figured that my raise had a chance of thinning the field. As far as my opponent goes I started worrying more and more as he kept calling and his board actually got worse and mine improved. I kept betting as he was not showing anything threatening, and not raising either. Based on the action what do you put the villian on here? I did not think that the villian would raise the river with a low only. Hearts were unlikely as there were so many dead. If he made a straight I had that beat for high. On the river the only thing I worried about was a full house. I did not think that this was likely either as I would have expected a raise earlier if he had trips, or 2 pair earlier in the hand. If he was slowplaying something would't he have sprung the trap sooner than the river?

[Alchemist]

With the exception of completing 4rd in EP (which I almost never do with a big pair), the hand looks fine to me. That you were able to get it HU by 5th is critical and with what looks like a low draw.

Raising the river is ok although you're most likely looking at a split. I'm not crazy about his call on 6th unless he's got like 45 in the hole.

You will lose to a bigger flush here a fair amount of the time. One of the things about high/low is that a baby flush draw isn't hurt by dead cards nearly as much as in high only, because drawing at five flush outs when you have a low or a low draw is often a pretty good idea.

[greyhawke54]

I was really surprised at what my opponent held here. I think he misplayed the hand. Here is what he had.

Does this suprise anyone else?

[cgrohman]

Yes, you played it like a monkey. However, both you and the monkey played it correctly.

[Zim25]

it makes sence now. up to 4th st.

he probly would have raised 5th but your board kept getting better. He has a decent low draw and maby thinks your just betting the split kings all the way down because he keeps bricking (past 5th anyway)


IDK donk play, he got owned.

[Andy B]

I would have played it about the same, although Badugi's probably right about the river raise. No way can you put him on Aces.
