NL5 SH: shaky overpair vs. river shove

#1 08-06-2007, 07:58 PM

Hello.
I had been playing at this table only for abt 10 hands, therefore I haven't got any reads, other than that he pushed river very quickly.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero ($4.99)
SB ($4.73)
BB ($6.17)
UTG ($5.15)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.2, 1 fold, BB calls $0.15.

Flop: ($0.42) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.32, BB calls $0.32.

Turn: ($1.06) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.7, BB calls $0.70.

River: ($2.46) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets $4.05, Hero???

Should i bet more on the flop and turn in situations(draws) like that? This was my usual size for C-Bets.

I've played quite a bit at these micro-stakes, and have recognised that people overbet or push all-in with very strong hands, such as top-2, sets etc, even on the flop, much more often than in the past. Then again, there are some busted draws, the 3 is a 'scare-card', and the possibilty that thinks that I have AK or something, but why overbet the pot?

Thx.

i probably call. bet more on the turn though.

I'd also bet more on the turn. I wouldn't be surprised if he called PF with A3 or sth and rivered trips on you. I guess it could also be a busted draw or top pair.

I guess this is very read dependent but I probably fold.

You shouldn't have one standard size for c-bets, in my opinion. In this case, I would bet more on the flop, as there are a ton of cards on the turn that are bad for you, but on the flop, you have the best hand a ton.

On the turn, the bet could be a little bit bigger, but I think the bet size is fine. You've priced him out of his draws, and that's the key thing, IMO.

The only thing you really can beat on the river is a total bluff, and I would fold.

Played fine. Now it's read dependent and as standard I want to call to see where I am, although fold might be better moneywise. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I call this. I see busted draws here all day, especially given your timing tell.

I would have called a small bet on the river, but I fold this overbet. At microstakes, river bets are generally indicative of a very strong hand; and the villain overbetted.

Unless I have a note this guy donks bluffs like this, I fold and make a note to bet more than normal against him on flop & turn.
