Default Re: $1500NL - WSOP Event 49 - Hows My Reasoning?

Barry,I have to disagree with you here.Live,I think that your average player will check AQ and top set here 95% of the time.I play a hell of a lot more live than online,and my experience is that live, people will cbet virtually every time if they were the preflop raiser,no matter how dangerous and coordinated the board is.Whenever they check I get very wary indeed.

With the read you have on villain,I don't see how you can fold here.With your stack and the fact that only the two sets have you crushed.....think this is a must call.Also,I don't know how late or early this is in level 2,but you need to accumulate chips soon,and this might be the best spot you'll find.

I agree with those who says that you probably lost the hand bc these hands usually aren't posted if we win. I still say this is a call though,my guess would be that you get outdrawn,he's got AK or something like that.

While i agree to this in online donkaments. Given the "Overall he seems fairly solid as he's outmaneuvered a few players post flop" description, opponents seems competent or better. So I don't think AQ or sets are out of his range. Why would a tricky, loose player that is firing at a bunch of pots, all of a sudden check a flop after he was a PFR? That would be silly. He is firing at pots, so when he hits a monster his bet won't give anything away and will allow him to get paid off.

Am I missing some math? 750+1375+1375+1825=5325... you have to call 1825 more... 2.91:1. Sry not quite 3.

You are pretty damn right! I must have had a blackout making two times in a row a false calculation. Yeah that pretty much means you can't get away from it. Even not against a topplayer. The only thing that still is in my mind is the fact that if villains is perfect 1st level thinker would mean that we had to lay this down if we only raised for a 1000, that raise of 1325 made us really potcommitted hehehe.

mmmm,when I think about it,you might be right here. I still think I'm right about the 95% thing,but only now saw that he'd been very active preflop. I would say this is very read dependent though. Not just how you think villain plays,but also what he thinks about you.

Tome,I completely agree that it's very fishy when some aggro player suddenly checks here,but alot of players will see the check as a sign of weakness,not strenght and therefore bet w AJ or something in that range.

Your 30BB deep and you flopped a set in a raised pot. Taking any line which involves considering folding is awful without a big tell.

He also had 7K chips to start, so a loose player might be happy to gamble with 2 pair since you cant bust him. If he's got AQ you will still fill up a third of the time. When you have to get through over 2,000 runners with a lousy 3K chips to start you are not folding a set, unless its against a rock. He doesn;t fit the bill. Stick em in.
