i'm assuming standard. i have always raised here and regretted it.

i raise PF, as played rivre is a call i guess since if you raise you have to fold to a push

Panthro · #3 02-27-2007, 01:13 AM

if you're raising it should be something like a minraise/fold line IMO.

KurtSF · #4 02-27-2007, 01:49 AM

Nut straight not so hot with both a flush out and the board paired and the villain showing strength. Just call.

Big Poppa Smurf · #5 02-27-2007, 02:20 AM

If you're thinking about just calling you should probably just go ahead and fold then right?

orange · #6 02-27-2007, 02:29 AM

raise the river. this guy looks like a calling station. i would probably make a smallish raise, to like $11.

br.bm · #7 02-27-2007, 02:44 AM

river call is fine

This guy's inability to size a bet minimizes your losses when you just call and you're beaten. If he calls a push or a decent reraise, you're probably not getting paid off. If he 3bets, I'm not sure what I would do. I think he's trying to show aggression over the course of the hand, but doesn't know how to do so effectively. In light of all this, I'll take a cheap showdown with a 3rd or 4th best possible monster.

that was my thoughts about his river bet. looked like it was begging a raise. he ended up having A8o for trip 8's, MHIG

i figured i could find a better spot later to stack him w/out a scary board

I dont like min-raising and folding here, some of the times you get 3 bet and fold your hand will be good and the loss of equity in a $20 pot isnt worth the extra $5 you get when called, if you do raise make it more like $15 so at least your win is worth something, but its only the extreme donkishness of villain that makes a bet worth considering, against normal players I'd check call.
