NL100: Mini-C/R on Flop and on Turn

Augie · #1 02-11-2007, 04:32 AM

Villain is 41/13/2.5 over a small sample of 50 hands.

There was one hand previous to this where Villain limped UTG w/A8 suited, bet out on an A high flop, called a C/R, and then called $30 on the turn - all with top pair/no kicker.

SB ($117.25)
BB ($112.65)
Hero ($120.45)
MP ($258.65)
CO ($144.95)
Button ($141.55)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero raises to $4, 3 folds, SB calls $3.50, 1 fold.

Flop: ($9) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $6, SB raises to $12, Hero calls $6.

Turn: ($33) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $20, SB raises to $40, Hero raises to $104.45, SB calls $61.25 (All-In).

River: ($238.70) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $238.70

What does everyone make of the two mini-C/Rs? When he C/R the flop, then checked the turn, I figured he was weak . . . then he C/R again?

I pushed based on my limited stats/knowledge of his play, and because I decided to go with my instinct that when he checked the turn he was weak. Anyone play this different?

Be good,

Augie

To be honest I usually just 3bet the flop 50 and see what happens...

As played, after the turn c/r again I dump it...

I check the turn and call a reasonable bet on the river.

im not [censored] around with a min checkraiser when i only have one pair. i'm looking for a cheap showdown. check turn, call any reasonable bet on river and value bet if he checks to you.

What's reasonable to call here on the river? Pot sized?

In this situation, I would 3 bet the flop. As played, I would check behind on the turn then value bet the river if he checks.

it depends on what the card is. in this case it was a blank. then it depends on his stats. i'd have to be there, anything more than the pot you are definetly folding though.

Agreed on that. I'm just wondering if even a pot sized call is +EV in these situations even when a blank comes. I really don't know myself.

You only have to win 33% of the time to make calling a PSB river bet break-even.
