Possibly Interesting Hand from FT 320

NoahSD · #1 03-17-2007, 04:06 PM

Blinds 25/50. No real reads. Villain seems decent preflop and hasn't done anything interesting postflop. He's bled off a few chips by calling preflop and folding the flop. I've been quiet in the few orbits since I got here.

Preflop:
Hero (3.3k) raises to 175 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Villain (2.1k) calls in the SB.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Pot = 400
We both check.

Turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain bets 300 leaving himself like 1600 more.

What's your position?

Sorry.. I was UTG 6-max.

i'd call, don't see much merit in raising and certainly not folding.

I'd call because I'm a station and I've got trip kings but to be honest I think folding is best.

my first instinct was raise. but after thinking about it, im not sure i can come up with reasonable parameters for the SB to make raising better than calling. I call now and call any river but an A I think.

Weird spot.

But we have trip Ks.

His preflop range probably isn't super tight, so weaker Ks and KJ are possble.

More importantly, people will bluff here a decent amount (not as often as on a low board, but still pretty often), and they'll bet [censored] that's really stupid to bet like 77-JJ/QJ/QT/Ax/whatever.

That's a big reason why checking this flop is so good. In this specific situation, I don't think I'd bet this flop against any opponent. But in other similar spots, I check against unknowns where I would bet against good players because they do dumb things like bet with their marginal made hands.

i'm pretty sure folding is really really bad.

i call and call/bet the river

Yeah, I call for all those reasons and we kind of have to if we check the flop. How big a bet does this commit us to on the river? Do we bet the river if he checks?
