HU hand from session review

Disconnected · #1 02-21-2006, 02:02 PM

This is from an old session review, and we couldn't get to an agreement on the final river action.

We discussed the rest of the hand and I think we got to the same page, so feel free to comment, but I'm more interested in the end of the hand, since that's where we didn't agree.

Only the 3rd hand with villain. First hand he called a monochrome flop and raised the turn when the fourth suited card hit. 2nd hand he raised pre-flop and hero folded. So, not much to go on, but villain does know where the raise button is.

Hero raises, BB calls.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4SB, 2 players)
Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

River: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7BB, 2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero .... 

Is it an easy decision?

Looks like a fold to me. That's a pretty bad card for you.

I don't really get the turn check-raise.

Agreed, I didn't care much for the turn play.

When villain calls the turn check raise and raises the river, I think I'm done with the hand. I'd fold.

I'd say super easy fold at .5/1 where villian is probably not all that tricky. You have 3rd pair on a 4 straighted flush board.

I also don't agree with the turn action. I just bet it and probably fold to the raise.

Thanks for the replies. I'm with the replies here: I thought this was a fold, reviewee thought it was a call (that's what he did). FWIW, he usually plays higher.

Turns out villain had A6, and hero's hand was good. I didn't want to be results oriented, but the combination of our disagreement plus the results (this time) made me want to get some other opinions.
