dood that second hand needed a value bet on river

[Jehaim]

2nd hand, minraise preflop and stack him.

[GTBMuckface]

wow that 2nd hand sucks.
if thats a brag.
jesus.

[floppynutz]

nah it was a smooth move - he was gonna bet on 6th street.

[ESKiMO-SiCKNE5S]

damn you really took him to value town in the second

[mrjetguy]

I don't understand this post. Is betting/raising in general for suckers?

[bsheck]

In my defense I think I played the second hand okay. Preflop I'm not reraising a guy with a 10% PFR opening from UTG. On the flop, c/c is okay. It looks like I have a flush draw, and I want him to bet hands like QQ-99 on the turn instead of folding them to a checkraise. On the turn I could spring into action, but it's a WA/WB situation, so why risk it? Turns out he had the only hand I could've potentially stacked, ah well. Hand would've gone down differently if I was in position.[/strategy]

Check calling all the way is okay?
