Play though a hand with me here....

[AceLuby]

I can' believe this thread is this long, I have posted over 2,000 times 2 months AFTER the thread was created. This hand isn't interesting and calling PF is ok, c/f flop, c/f turn, not interesting.

[BeyondReason]

Since Somehow this thread is still going, I will throw out a couple thoughts.

Check check is how I would play it, we wanted to stack someone, not bluff them out of a small pot.


I am going to say BB had 77, UTG had AA catching his 2 outer, and the river makes your straight for the miracle runner runner.

However to make this hand interesting the player behind bets out, the two sets reraise, you fold, he folds, and you curse him after the hand is over wishing you would have made that small 1/3 pot bet on the flop to get rid of him. Hence the reason for this thread, to see if anyone would have actually done it.

You could reason that a small flop bet would allow you to see a free river card, since the player behind would fold allowing us to close the turn, and the two monsters would smooth call, planning on check raising 4th, which we already knew we were checking through. The river hits, chips fly, and we accomplish what we had hoped to do.

I actually like a slightly different line:

Pre-flop: Limp-raise All in, [censored]'em.

Flop: Preferably check-raise all in, but since you obviously whiffed...

... push turn once it gets to you.

There, done and done.

You had to make a thread about nothing that lasted an entire year...

Oh no...not true at all.

FortunaMaximus, thanks for finally getting us back on track to discussing the actual hand. Do others agree with him? I'd like to hear some more thoughts and generate some discussion and debate, and then I'll move on to the next step.

And the funny thing is, this thread was created 3 months before FortunaMaximus got here.

If that does say how old this thread is, then ... well ... i dont know.

I know- the thread is old. I'm sorry about that. But if we could actually discuss the hand here, I think we could all learn a lot. I'd love to hear a few more opinions, then I'll respond to some people and give mine!

[Supwithbates]

We've heard the opinions. You can bet or you can check. The people that say bet have argued why they feel it's best, and the people that say check have argued why it's best.

Maybe you're waiting for someone to suggest open folding?

I was thinking, poker has seemed to have evolved a good bit in the past few years. I'm beginning to think by the time we see the river our decisions on the flop and turn will retroactively become incorrect.
