Good thinking.


Turn: (4.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls.
<font color="blue">i check, i escape being c/r by big pairs and encourage a bluff from him.</font>



Good idea. You foiled his plans.

River: (6.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls. <font color="blue"> Now i bet, i dont want marginal hands checked behind and will most likly fold to a raise. I think this guy uses his brain and will consider raising but will call simply to avoid folding a weaker hand(mine) or being 3bet by the flush draw. </font>



Good bet. Button figures you may not be willing to call a raise with KJ or less anyway and your check/call on the turn indicates to him you probably don't have AK and it makes the possibility you were on a flush draw more likely.

pokher -

I like your line.

I think c/c c/c c/c is ok, but may miss out on value.

I think there are other lines that could freeze up villain while making him call down with pocket pairs (which I think is what your line does, effectively). Such as check/call, check/call, bet; or check/call, bet, bet.

[POKhER]

yeh i think c/c c/c c/c is potentially better. I'm going to be VS QQ and other hands more often that overcards that will take a free card or vs FD/other draws.

So overall i think letting QQ and other hands bet incorrectly is the best play.

i like my turn and river play though, i think they pay off longterm or reduce my losses.


c/c bet bet is something i've never tried. I'd assume the turn card must be a brick and not a potential overcard or helpfull card to villan or else he may fold.

Something for me to think about.

Cheers.

how far do you kick your cat if he checks through that turn?

I tend to default to a flop checkraise, turn lead - but I'm too aggro right now.
