JT flops 2 pair, river puts 3flush on board
10 NL
Hero $10 CO $14 First hand at table. CO open limps, SB completes, I check my J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Flop ($.30) J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB checks, I bet $.30, CO calls, SB folds. Turn ($.90) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I bet $.75, CO calls. River ($2.40) A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I have no idea what to do and decide to bet $.80, planning to fold to any sizeable raise. Seem ok? |

I don't like that card for a few more reasons than flush. Check/call hopefully induce bluff.

True, could have made better 2pair or straight draw. How big of a bet are you willing to call if you check? Half pot?

Re: JT flops 2 pair, river puts 3flush on board
bet fold is good check call is horrible
why would you induce a bluff when every draw just got there? Checking just lets him check behind hands like KJ and bet when he rivered us. |

I would just c/f. I guess b/f is fine against a station, but even passive fish will sometimes bluff raise you here.

Re: JT flops 2 pair, river puts 3flush on board
I'm just trying to think what he could call a bet with. Maybe KJ, QT, KT, 9T? Meh. Not much. Those are pretty loose calls obv. Not sure what he might BET with that we beat either... some tard with a low pair? Or, he's just called two streets with intent on bluffing river. That's about it. Hard to believe he does these that much. Maybe this is c/f afterall.

Re: JT flops 2 pair, river puts 3flush on board
That was sort of my dilemma.
I considered check-call but it seemed like I'd only be paying off better hands most of the time, occasionally a bluff. But the bluffs would probably be around pot-sized and I wouldn't pay that much to find out. I considered check-folding but I could definitely be ahead here still. That left me with bet-fold. I wanted to bet as small as I could get away with but still get enough respect that I wouldn't be bluff-raised very often. Does 1/3 pot seem good enough? Would 1/4 pot work as well? Would 1/2 pot be better? |
