Final Pot: 352$

The guy is steaming because of losing a big pot to me when he made a misread. He flopped a set and the river brought a four flush and he called all his money after my c/r b b. I made the nuts on the turn obviously. So I think that against a guy who is steaming, b/f turn might be a good line to assure that he doesn't make a ridicolous bluff. After I reraised preflop, I didn't think there was any chance he would float me on ace high board, but against a steaming guy, who knows. Jack was a scare card obviously, and without a jack coming on the turn, I would probably call him. But what if I bet the turn and he just calls? What do I do on the river?

This hand also shows the disadvatage of reraising AT preflop in that spot.

[Vinetou]

I guess this hand is so read dependant that there are no responses?

[MasterLJ]

This is read dependent and basically a bluff catcher. I call here a lot.

This is tough. Villain probably thinks you have KK or QQ and is trying to get you off of it. I probably call becuae of this.

I agree. His play really does not look like a J or a strong A.

[daveT]

What do you think of the weak bet on the turn?

[Hoopster81]

kind of like checking the flop and giving him some rope

Agreed. I really think a flop check is best.

You really only beat air on the river, but he is repping such a narrow range of hands that it's close enough to call.

[People_Mover]

maybe a combo draw like 9/10hh or a lone J. I dunno. I like how you played it and I probably fold the river also and wait for the better spot.

[Vinetou]

Almost forgot to post the results. I folded and he proudly showed QTo. I wish I would be a calling station like I used to be.
