Double-stack 20/40 calldown

how frequent is squeezing in this game?

because it looks a whole lot like spades/boat to me.

Also I dont think there are too many hands in your range that fold river after calling turn here, so that probably cuts down on his 3-barreling somewhat.

Poker becomes a lot easier if you just fold this flop

The only way to make a play like this is to have a really good read that you did not provide us with. Assuming none exists, preflop is the only well played street.

congrats if you won this but this hand isn't worth discussing because it's not near standard(or creative or anything) in a vaccuum.

What site has 20/40 full ring games ?
Also this looks donkish to me but many high stakes plays looks donkish to middle stakes grinders so I guess it doesnt matter much.

Ok, Baris guessed it, this is indeed a reverse post. I'm Villain and I had 43 hearts for a complete bluff. I don't want to berate the Hero in this hand though. He is a very tricky and persistent player that plays looser than most, and has always given me trouble. I don't see how he can have a read on me for this hand since it's a new account and this is the first time we've played together on this account. After he made this call, I immediately packed up and quit to avoid tilting, because I couldn't see how it was possible, and I thought that maybe I was outplayed. I'm trying to get into his mind and his thought process in this calldown. If everyone agrees with my original thought that this is a horrible play by him, maybe he's just not as good as I thought and I can push this edge.

It seems that the only point I can really take out of this is that my river bluff wasn't great. At the time, I was hoping to knock out KK/QQ/JJ with a spade by shoving the river. Would a big hand be more likely to check to induce a shove from something like that? I'd probably shove a lower set or a flush in my (Villain's) position, but maybe not AA or AK, given that AA will get a shove from a lower set anyway and AK won't get a call from anything I beat. Should I just check/fold my trash on the river?

[Get_better_Baris]

you could maybe pot the turn? if he calls there then just c/f river or check turn thru and pot river. just throwing out ideas

I think he should have folded!!!! He is either a donk or had your # on this one. Nice job on leaving / avoiding tilting $$$ away -- [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What was your timing on your bets? That might have been the givaway ...
