Re: KK onn Coordinated Broadway Board (Stars $5/10)
nice post_i dont have a clue
on the turn we are ahead of few hands and when behind we usually have 6outs so continuing is marginal perhaps if we continue, i like the check call cos 1/ we are behind most of the time 2/ we dont have reads 3/ i think we would just about have to fold to the raise. on the river, were behind almost always so fold? |

I like everything but the river... we'd only be looking for him to be bluffing something like 88/99. Would we be invoking a bluff greater than 16%? I don't think so. I think it'd have to be a fold.

i like a bet/fold on the turn. By just check/calling you dont know where you stand and are committing 2 bets with no clue. This is a better line.

[/ QUOTE ] Having any kind of read here would really help and I admit to feeling a bit lost. The reason I didn't bet-fold here in the absence of a read is that since I moved from $3/6 at Stars to $5/10 I have seen more aggression, including more nbluffing, bluff-raising and semi-bluffing (including semi-bluff turn raises). Against many players you can safely fold to a raise. However, this is not a bad spot for villain to make a semi-bluff/free shpwdown raise with a hands that could possibly be best (from villain's perspective) and stand chance of improving when behind (e.g., KJ or QJ). Lately, I have been more willing to check-call the turn against ttricky opppenents when OOP with hands I feel I need to showdown so as not to get blown off the best hand. That strategy has been successful although it is possible this hadn was not a good spot. But that was the thinking. The river card is just about the worst card in the deck. Even if villain was semi-bluffing the turn now basicall all his hands beat me and I am hoping to catch a bluff. But what pure bluff hands could he have called the flop and bet the turn with? Again, if I knew that villainwas a total lloose showdown monkey maybe you just cal and hope for the best. If he is semi-reasonable you check-fold. Here I have no idea. I called and as soon as I did it felt stupid. So many combos beat me that even if villain bluffs the few hands I beat (e.g., busted gutshot broadway draws) I don't think I can expect to be good often enough. To my suprise villain had K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and MHIG. I am trying to not be results oriented and still think this call is bad. I think you need to be getting over 10:1 against an unknown here but I haven't run numbers and am just guestimating. Any other thoughts? |

Without any reads, bet the turn and fold to a raise.
