I am SB vs an autobettor BB:

Hero has T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
hero bets villian raised

turn: x [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
hero checks, villian bets, hero raised, villian calls

river: blank ace

Hero?

what if hero checks and villian bets?

HEIFER · #3 08-26-2006, 03:55 AM

HEIFER · #5 08-26-2006, 03:59 AM

How much that is beat is calling? Doesn't seem like much to me. Also, I wouldn't want to be bluffed off it.

I'd probably fold. But if I felt I had to see a showdown I'd check/call.

Your hand isnt strong enough for this move in my opinion. Just bet the turn because he will find a reason to call and besides you may or may not have the best hand. If you know he will bet both streets then checking and calling both is fine too.

The way you played it, bet the river.

Wait, I'm confused. Did you complete or raise here? Not that it matters all that much given the action at hand but the pot size will affect a turn decision a bit.

He's an autobettor with no stats so an aggresive unknown? With mp and a good draw why are you raising the turn? I would c/c c/c.

As played, I would c/c but only because of the limited read we have. I would love to c/f but it doesn't seem we are able to have any kind of trust in this relationship.

What else were you considering? b/c, b/f, b/3b turn? I don't see why those are reasonable

I agree. Let the autobettor with position bet the hand for you.

You only check and fold vs an autobettor if the board and action are such that you just can't have the best hand. In this hand that is far from true. He is peeling the flop with who knows what and he is calling your turn checkraise with any spade and any pair at minimum.
