I feel that this was played decently, until the 3rd barrel on the river, when he called my turn-bet, maybe I should've assumed ace...

Comments more than welcome.

Bet more on the flop, like 1.8. Id bet the turn very often too, but when he calls I think Im done with the hand.

It's possible considering your bet on the flop, maybe bet more? Plus looking at his big stack I assume he is likely to call you down with 2 overcards on that flop. What are his stats?

Not assume but consider/estimate it as part of his range. I would bet the turn and throw the river. I do not know what you are trying to do with your river bet?

You gotta bet more on the flop. Standard cbet is anywhere between 3/4th pot to full pot. So betting 1.8 as someone above suggested would be good.

2nd barrel on turn is good, because the ace is scary if he doesn't have it, and you are pushing pretty strong, so he will fold quite often. After he calls the turn, however I would be worried.

I think the river bet is pretty much a spew. I doubt he calls flop & turn with weaker hand (like 99 or something) too often. I would just check and fold to a reasonable bet (anything bigger than 1/3rd pot).

I'd bet more on flop like 1.8$. You're bet on the flop look very weak. Villian called with just two overcards..

I don't think the second barrel is that spew. It indeed looks scary too villian. Maybe bet a little less on the turn.

I'm not sure you should c/f, c/c a smallbet or blockbet on the river? Any opinions?

Bet more on the flop to start with. Somewhere near the pot.
Bet 2/3 pot on the turn, you shouldnt assume he has an ace and if you check and he bets you still dont know anything.

On the river I might go for a small blocking bet or a check and fold to a big bet.

The bet sizing is all wrong here. You make a small bet on the flop when you are probably ahead and then make a big bet on the turn when you could easily be behind. As played c/f river because there really is nothing you beat.

whyzze · #9 09-19-2007, 05:42 AM

please bet more on the flop. I would have bet two. That is where everything went wrong in this hand. I can tell you wanted to slowplay it/get a raise from your weak bet. But all you did is make ace high think it was good and then catch a card on the turn.
