NL25 TP2K ip, pot control first, headaches later

WantToLearn · #1 11-25-2007, 06:03 PM

Ok, some more advice would be very welcome, and thank you very much in advance!

Questions:
1. Turn check ok? (Didn´t want to play for stacks here)
2. River call ok? (Don´t have to be good very often, might have looked weak on turn)

 Reads: I know the villain for a couple of orbits and it doesn´t look like he´s getting way out of line, maybe he´s in a few more pots than he should be in.

Bet/fold turn ($8) and check river is far superior to checking this turn and calling the river. I'd probably call the river but I don't like it.

The $8 bet is enough to preserve the rest of your stack if he raises while still giving him inappropriate odds to draw.

You are not playing for stacks by betting the turn as you suggest. If you face a turn c/r, you are most likely beat and can fold without hesitation. You have underrepresented your hand with a turn check, so I'll call river.

With 2 cards to the flush and str8 draw, I would have gone w/ Chargers line here. I like your line as long as there isnt a flush draw on the flop b/c most hands that he's calling w/ on the flop are draws and the board is a very drawy type board

Blech @ bet/folding turn. I hope you're damn sure we're beat. Even against the tight range below we have to call. Add in something like KcJc or AT and it becomes an insta-call.

I think you played this hand fine, OP.
