you can call flop here but you have to raise turn to show your strength... does villain bet with draws?? if so raise flop...well he either has a Queen, straight or set to fill up on river dont beat much

i like how you have played this... by the simple call on river im guessing that they also had a queen but with a worse kicker or AQ which would be sick...
im tempted to say that SB has 10 10.. just becos its soo passive

Lol, you do realise that its the hero thats check calling his life away not the villain...

[tiger_hall]

oops lol il change my post

[Elrohir]

I'd certainly raise the flop if Vilain was a weaker player but since Vilain seemed kind of solid and since I don't see him calling with 8/10 or 10/J, I was concerned with AQ. That's why I played it so passively.

28/16/2.5 over 7000 hands.

Then no, but you probably want to chuck the whole check calling thing out the window though...

[Elrohir]

OK, so raising the flop, then checking the turn for pot control and calling a river bet or making it if vilain checks is better. But what if I raise the flop, get called and then vilain bets the turn ?
