thats what I did, but another player i respect questioned it. looks like the forum doesnt like it much either.

his flop play three handed is very very rarely a draw. I would say its likely top pair, except for the 9 pairing on the turn.

I think the only hand I would play like he did is a 9 or strong 2nd pair. tough hand though.

my odds to call down are not great considering i call a turn and river bet when behind.

These are exactly my reasons for folding, I just said all of this against HiatusOver on AIM.

his calling hands are fairly narrow, he is SB.

fair. and that means my read was way wrong.

I feel this is a little set up for the draw move from K~. This is a flop that a BB can at times take a stab at with air or a GS, since the BB will feel the SB shouldn't have too much to do with the flop and will have position if SB calls fishing for overs, and naturally when SB bets this flop you're usually in a tough spot. Button's response is usually to raise or fold & so from SB's perspective you could just be protecting your overs.

To my mind this scenario is quite opportunistic for SB to play the draw aggro, since both other opponents could easily be very weak.

76 or 87 = Stox winning = $$$$$$

My experiences with Kuta is he could hold either of those. He will not bet the river with 76. Therefore, it's ok IMO to call the turn and fold the river if he bets. He probably doesn't bet 87 either.

this guy really cant have JhTh?
i dont know how u can fold this when u get that turn card..
Q7 looks pretty good on that board, i would call it down unless something really nasty comes off... id probably fold the river if it was a T.

He's capable of putting a play on us here isn't he? If he puts us on AK, he's capable of 3betting that flop with a wider range than we are giving him credit for.

He's not blasting away 3 bets into 2 players who have shown considerable aggression. He has a hand that can see a river.

I don't think he would cold call from the small blind with 67s, so I don't really consider that part of his range.
I think that QhJh and JhTh are both possible, but overall I agree with Stox origional assessment that he has a real hand that he plans on showing down. A7 or A9 would not surprise me, nor would AA or KK.

****HAND ENDS****


I've played close to 7000 hands with him. 76s and 87s are possible in this hand, I'm practically 100% sure of it. And if desired, I can search through my HHs vs him to find times he flops two pair and has it counterfeited on the turn.... And every single time, he will check the river.
