1. I think the flop bet was probably ok but do you 2-barrel the turn after being checked to again?
2. Check behind the river or 3-barrel? I think the 3-barrel committed me to calling the CRAI as I had only 560 left in a 2440 pot.
3. Is this total spewage of chips or good value betting? LOLZ.

1. Yes, you beat any other King now (apart from K2)
2. I vbet this river close to 100% HOWEVER not a t500. Throwing out a t300 at MAX sounds reasonable to me here. edit: and you fold. Your hand is toast or he is running a bluff. You cant call no matter what odds youre getting.
3. See above.

I'd guess his range here is any 2 clubs, A2, Kx. I'm calling this.

Edit: This is assuming he isn't one of those morons who will call a raise with T2o. If he is you should probably check/call the river.

That's a two (or better) or an awful bluff. vbet less and fold to pressure. Also, what do you guys think or checking river to induce bluff or vbet with a worse hand?

This is kind of impossible since he is IP, don't you think so?

I call here.

good call

How often do you see a cr all in bluff at your level, or that your opponent is over-valuing a king?

At the 11s I am calling this just about every time.

ChicagoRy · #8 09-09-2007, 07:11 PM

Yea really, betting 300 here in an 11 is terrible because you'll get raised off of this strong hand way too often. If you have a read that you'll get raised by ATC/missed hands very often you can bet 300, but otherwise I probably play this the same way and call the river here.

P.S. Do you have any relevant reads?

no real reads yet, it was the 3rd hand.
