Modeling my skirt for Fianchetto

[Fianchetto]

I usually raise it preflop there too.

I was astonished when everyone folded to my turn bet. Respek! But you made the right play, I turned trip 7's there, guess I shoulda gone for the checkraise.

The game got real good after you left. Oh yeah, and I don't even want to post about the $2000 gift I gave you yesterday. You're welcome!

Um, 9 people to a flop and u think it's a bad lineup?

[Turning Stone Pro]

Agreed. Fianchetto has a hand when he leads out into all these folks. Maybe he has some sort of double-draw type hand like a big club and a pair, but much more than likely the OP is drawing way dead.

These west coast boys have low standards for what constitutes a bad game.

That or they realize how awesome their games are out there and lie to try to keep us midwestern-Scandi-background-studs from going out there to play and make the games tough.


If I were haakee I would have raised preflop, and then probably not folded postflop and used the "it's a big pot" crutch as an excuse to call down (though who knows how this hand plays out postflop with a preflop raise). As it is, the pot is small and it's quite likely Fianchetto has a flush or trips so it's IMO a def fold.

Sucker,

You seem to have a different perspective on the turn action than everyone else. Please elaborate on your choice to call or raise as opposed to fold when Fian bets into you on the turn here.

I think I'm the only one who doesn't like it.

Calling is what I'd do, though maybe I'd raise.

i think the EDIT: fold is standard and make folds like this when the conditions are as above. but just b/c i think it, doesn't make it good.

only way to get better is to learn by studying and looking at this hand is interesting.

so why would you call instead of folding? how close do you think calling is to folding? where does raising fit on the scale of the 3 options?

your thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm in the raise PF and fold turn camp.

When I get that sick feeling in my stomach on the turn when I'm about to call, I remind myself that this instinct is like 95% accurate that I'm beat and fold. This just doesn't seem close.

tough spot. the pot has lots of bets there and most times you will lose but it is far from an auto matic fold. close call but i call and take a card off and see what happens.
lots of problems with this post. as most of the posters know haakee and are well aware that he rarely will buy the rounds of drinks. so diablo has to kiss his buttt so he may get a round next time. so we must throw out his voice. the sucker is probably so pissed from haakee never buying that he cant think straight although i agree with him on this one.
fianchetto knows how tight haakee is and would love to rob him and buy the drinks with the money.
i am totally impartial as when we go out i just make diablo pay for everything and that solves all the issues. next time fianchetto comes and gets drunk and pays
