Stud/8 capping 6th with stragglers
I have a question about a play I saw tonight in a hand that I was in.
V1 is solid, and it is his play that I question. V2 is probably a pro but who is playing outside of his expertise in this split pot game. 20/40 Stud/8, 8 players Bringin (xx) 2 -- folds 2 folds V2 (xx) A -- completes-- calls folds Hero (A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] -- raises folds V1 (xx) 2 -- calls 4th: V2 (xx) AJ, 2 clubs -- bets -- calls Hero (A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] -- raises V1 (xx) 29 -- calls 5th: V2 (xx) AJK, 2 clubs -- bets -- calls Hero (A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] -- raises V1 (xx) 297 -- calls 6th: V2 (xx) AJK8, 3 clubs -- checks -- calls -- folds Hero (A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-- bets -- 3-bets V1 (xx) 2979 -- raises -- caps 7th: Hero (A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4x) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-- calls V1 (xx) 2979 (x) -- bets and shows full house, 9s over 2s, that he made on 6th. V1 had (29)29 on 4th. He said that he called 3rd just for kicks & the hand just got better for him. (My opinion of V1 fluctuated through the session. I ended up respecting his game.) As V2 contemplated calling 2 bets on 6th, he paused and said, "why is he trying to drive me out of this pot?" I think it was a good question. It seems to me that by capping V1 drove a live player out of the pot. Can anyone explain to me his line? What might V1 have been afraid of? Do you see this as a misplay? #11 |

Re: Stud/8 capping 6th with stragglers
V1 is probably playing on game conditions by capping.
V2 could be too loose. V1 wants to represent that he is steaming V1 wants V2 to think he's pushing out the better hand V1 thinks V2 is such a stud8 donkey that he'll call two cold drawing dead and will be committed for multiple bets on seventh. V1 might put V2 on higher trips and wants to charge him. could be any one of those and possibly others. |

Re: Stud/8 capping 6th with stragglers
Those are all fair and reasonable. I was vaguely aware of some of those considerations and not at all of others.
The more I learn about this game, the more I have to learn. This is a good thing -- I like the challenge. Can anyone think of any other reasons for V1's line? Am I unduly influenced by my own hand when I try to figure out V1? I feel like my hand is basically played face up here. Is there any reason why V1 might be playing at me or charging me to play? I can't think of one, but I feel like I'm missing something. |
