I GOTS ME A PURR

[ipokeder]

villian in this hand is a multitabler, but who i have never seen before. i was talking to a friend who said that he doesn't really have a good idea of how he plays but assumes he is probably decent. i doubt he has an idea of how i play either.

he paused for quite a bit (didn't hit timebank though) before betting the turn. on the river, he banked down to <10 seconds before shoving.

a. how is this line? (compared to alternatives)

b. if you do take this line, what rivers are you folding on?

c. if he instashoves the river, does it change your decision?

I usually fold turn

[ipokeder]

c/c flop and c/f turn? seems pretty dumb to me, what hands are you expecting him to check behind on the turn?

[Eagles]

Given timing I like call.

78ish hands is what I was thinking but I misread the hand when I made my first post

[AAismyfriend]

I think it's fine but he's definitely good enough to be shoving a T or A8 for value.

[Redgrape]

i hate it.

[ddubois]

I don't understand flop play. If I'm checking, it's so I can CR. I love my hand there.

i kinda like it after u played the flop, but its marginal, i think betting out on the flop is by far the best play. PLaying it like this against good players will just leave u guessing most of the time
