Combo Draw and Blocking Bet hands (50NL)

mdm13 · #1 09-13-2007, 03:46 PM

Villain is 18.5/9/1.5 over 250 hands. Passive preflop, very aggro post (AF on all 3 streets >4). So I call his flop raise with my OESD hoping to stack him because my hand is reasonably disguised and we are playing deep and then I pick up the backdoor flush draw and I'm lost. Does anyone lead the turn here? But as played do I just call getting ~3-1 or do I have FE to push over the top? If I call do I felt it with my flush if the board pairs? I have lots of trouble with marginal situations with combodraws.

Hand 2

Villain is a 26/18/2 (over around 1K hands) reg who seems to mix his play up, shows down hands like 63o, overbets pots with marginal holdings etc. My image to him should be a 21/18/3.7 with a bit of a spew problem. The small river bet looks to me like either trying to squeeze a small value bet out of the straight or a blocking bet with an OK hand like two pair. I think given the odds calling is right just in case he has AQ or KQ, but does anyone like a bluff raise to push him off of two pair or maybe even the lone ten? This villain might also capable of faking the blocking bet with the nuts hoping to get me to push over but as he is multitabling and not likely to be heavily involved in metagame I would doubt it.

Hand 1: I like calling the turn. Most villians, even 19/9's, are stacking off AK there at this level. I think you have the right odds to look at the river, planning on a crai should you hit.

Hand 2: I don't like the turn at all. You need to fire up to about $10 here obv. folding to any c/r from villian. River is simple, fold. There is absolutely no point in trying to raise here, so many holdings that he's calling with.

Hand 1, if he is that aggro post flop, a c/r on the turn is pretty juicy. Is he good? Would he fold a lone king to lots of action do you think. Depending on that I call or raise. On river hard to say, if I hit I probably bet decent amount on river, if I don't then probably just c/f.

Hand 2
I make it 10 and fold to a raise
