i really cant put him on a hand...
I just cant see him not raising a hand like 9Thh or something somewhere, or a set....
I'm so confused I call. I play 50NL so dont worry about me.

looks like the river made his hand, if he had a hand, since he'd have played a set on the flop or turn more aggressively(with so many draws out there)
he played it like he could have 910(no hearts), don't think pocket sixes call the turn
also, bet the flop
IMO he has air

River is a fold but it should go check/call since you showed so much weakness. I think you played it fine up until then though.

does he really check flop with 9T after you checked an A high flop? I think he would autobet at it with any sort of draw. He might check a set though. Any idea at all how he would or most people in this game would play those hands when the prf checks an A high flop?

Is flop a whiffed c/r? Why no lead?

IRV · #9 08-10-2006, 01:41 PM

IMO a rvr fold would have been much easier had you bet the flop.

I'll bet flop here.

On river, bet about 600, call raise to 1800, fold to all in.
As played, your river bet represents exactly what you have, making it more enticing for villain to push you off with worse hand, and you only have to fold a little more than 2/3 of time. IMO, if you bet 600, he's less likely to get crazy with hand you beat and just calls if he has something like 78/76/worse Ace, or just folds his 56.
