NL CASH line check
Did I screw this one up?
Reads: match just started, he came to the table with almost the max buy-in and cents, so I assume he's busto. Felt like a weird desperation bluff or weaker TP pushing, because he's busto and wants to double up or go all out. I might be off here tho'.

Re: NL CASH line check
Looks standard to me unless you have a read that says otherwise.

Re: NL CASH line check
Totally standard, especially with the fact that he is probably busto. Even without reads, I play it the same.

Re: NL CASH line check
I'm taking a wild guess and saying villain showed up with 44.
Just throwing it out there. |

Re: NL CASH line check
This is never a worse hand vbetting. He has you beat or he's bluffing. It's that simple.

Re: NL CASH line check
If his vbets to bluffs are in the right frequency then you don't gain a thing by calling .
The real question becomes : Does my opponent bluff more than the optimal amount or less ? If he bluffs more , then you should call . If he bluffs less , then you should fold . |

You have to call the river because tilty players will have a tremendous propensity to try to represent a 2 here. And 97/98 will call you down, T9 as well. One argument for checking is that a tilty player would RR his 9s a lot to "take the pot down." In fact, if that thought flashed into m y mind, I would probably check behind. But, you can't be faulted for betting here given the action. PS: One more idea - I much rather lead here if an 8 or a 7 comes on this board. He would have RRed to pair for sure, meaning that I increase my chance of getting a value call from K8/A8/K7/A8/108/Q8/blah blah. That paired 2 makes me more cautious. Barry |

Re: NL CASH line check
Noone thinks checking the turn might be good?
