NL600, bluff in battle of blinds

Villian is a regular DooMeRFD. He seems decent; probably capable of making big laydowns or calls. At the time I thought a lot of his range might include JJ or diamonds which he could get away from. River put me in a tough decision because I had no showdown value at all.

I would just check river, since you're getting called SOOOOO often.

Yeah I agree that I should have checked behind river. It was just so tempting considering I had no sd value. If the board was 7T7T it would be an easy check.

What are you talking about?

soah said what I would've said (and better than I could've). He's not bet-calling here to fold anything better than 88.

Looking back the turn raise seems fine/good but the river play was bad for the logic already given.

Tough hand........

I don't like the play in the blinds as his range is soooo wide open here.

His check on the river is fishy, so I can see your logic...

But I think you know where you stand and it's a coin flip as to wether he's got it or not and the pot odds dictate he call you with a much larger range.

You could very well be called with Ax too, just based on those pot odds....so I just check and get the hell out here.....but aggression is to be honored.

I like the turn, but I don't think he's folding river after calling turn.

crunny · #9 08-30-2007, 03:38 AM

I d like it more if we had more to shove on the river.

Maybe min raise turn and shove river?

soah · #10 08-30-2007, 03:57 AM

he's only bet/folding air on the turn

he's bet/calling hands he wants a big pot with

he's check/calling hands he wants a small pot with
