$20+1r+1a: Flop set v gboro and lordhuttyx

[Ansky]

bet the flop ~ 1000... bet the turn now obv

[black666]

I'm curious...how did the hand play out next? I guess there is some cliffhanger coming, because up until now it's pretty standard.

No, nothing outlandish happens but I think all four streets are kind of debatable. Pretty much all of my thoughts one way and other are mentioned. The only thing I think we can all agree on is that the turn is a bet but I think the sizing matters. Anyway, I'll give my thoughts when we're done.

i like the flop check

i wudda bet more on the turn in an effort to look weak

now that you've bet 900 (which is fine) i think that he's calling the turn with draws and implied odds sometimes. so check and let him bet it busted.

the line 'check flop/bet 60% pot turn/push river' looks too strong to get a call from marginal hands so i don't think u get paid off very often by leading.

if you bet more on the turn then a river push looks more like 'omg 40% of my stack is in the middle already, i might as well chuck the rest in' and may be more likely to get a call from something like 99. Maybe

Any other takers for this line?

I like the way you played it.

It's not a scary flop board for you, and it gives everyone a chance to catch up or bluff. Especially good players are gonna wanna take a stab once it looks like you gave up. Honestly I'm surprised they didnt.

Turn bet is good.

River you have a pot bet left. I think you probably should push. It's strong, but I think anything less (like half your stack?) is really transparant against a good player. Might as well try to get value the times he calls.

I doubt he's calling river much no matter how much you bet both because anything small looks obvious and because he probably didn't get there or isn't confident enough. But I think if he's calling anything, he's calling a push.

Also (minor consideration) kinda looks like a bluff blah blah.

edit: do you think any of them know who you are? Or at least that you're a good player (or not a random donk [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]?
