well, you need to get to the point grunch... because right now it looks like you are minimizing any value in this hand... I'm waiting for the punchline, but I don't think I'm seeing it.

the whole point of the cb is you have momentum in a hu pot. why would anyone bet the flop in a 3 way limped pot with worse than a jack?

Because everyone checked.

Meh. He's betting weak draws, strong draws, jacks, 7s with a better kicker, and all kinds of [censored] that has you beat or has great equity against you, so calling the flop bet because you have a pair is a bad decision.

Calling with the intention of bluffing is different, and it's true that he folds a lot of it to your turn bet but I fail to see why you need a 7 in your hand to bluff (in fact I'd prefer NOT to, because then he's more likely to have one), and if I were to semi-bluff here I'd want more outs when called.

Yea, your'e probably right.

No punchline. Just a poorly thought-out line. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

PS, the "end of my patience" comment was specifically for delta k, not the other participants here.

I thought this was more interesting than it was, sorry. Debit my bad thread account by 1. I think I must have a couple left.

And don't think that the only thing that got delta on my ignore list was the comments he made here. It takes a lot to get ignored by me.

As far as it goes for Mr I-just-wanna-make-the-forum-better blah blah blah, his douche-reply account is debited by 2. He's got one left before he goes on system wide perma ignore for everyone.

fwiw a lot of people have been calling the turn bet a semibluff. ok whatever but if thats what its meant to be, then its pretty horrible, because a jack is never folding for six dollars. people just don't fold pairs for small amounts of money. you can overbet the $.50 pot for $6 bucks at nl100 and people just aren't gonna fold top pair ever.

and if there ever was a bad turn card to bet it on this is it, any draw that you were kinda ahead of is now beating you.

Let's be honest. Villain has complete air here a lot. The 9 isn't a particularly great card for your hand, but the fact that you could fold a better 7, get called by a flush draw/straight draw, and your FE is through the roof makes this bet quite excellent in my books.

btw... I almost always c/f the flop here. I do however think it's unfair to say this is gross of spew. Villain's range is pretty wide here and I don't think anyone can prove that Grunch's turn bet is -EV. On the other hand, I think the flop call is very close and could probably be shown to be -EV given the fact that lots of his AIR has very good equity against you.
