Did I play this right?

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, CO raises, Button folds, SB calls, Hero calls (6:1), MP1 calls.

I call the preflop raise with Axs, standard play for me

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (8SB, 4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, CO checks.

I was planing a checkraise but the preflop raiser checked

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4BB, 4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, CO calls, SB folds.

Nobody shown any strength and I got a good hand so I bet

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7BB, 3 players)
Hero bets, MP1 raises, CO folds, Hero 3-bets, MP1 caps, Hero calls (14:1).

The river card gives me a full house so I bet and get raised, since the guy havent shown any strength at all before and I got a full house I raise. But he reraises me again. Im getting really confused what he might have since he starts to raise so much on the river, but I call down since I have a full house and have put alot of money in the pot.

Results:
Final pot: 15BB
MP1 shows 9h 9d
Hero mucks As 2s

How would you have played the hand?

Preflop: Standard

Flop: I like leading here. If CO has a big ace you are going to able to get your reraise in (or possibly wait for the turn) but if he has a hand like KQ or QJs then he probably will check and he might not even bet TT-KK.

Turn: good

River: awesome

Ahh nice advice on the flop play havent thought about it that way.

YesMehFriend · #4 10-24-2006, 07:08 AM

No reads? Anyway this could easily be a 2, as long as MP1 doesn't limp 99/TT/AA pf you hold the nuts and I play it the same (if MP1 had a better hand he might have raised the turn since few ppl slowplay to the river esp. on such a board ...).

i would had played it the same as you. i was thinking about not goin for a c/r on the flop but i thnk that was the best move.

I like the idea of donking flop so we can 3-donk.

not sure it's the most lucrative play.
i'd play it the same, waiting the turn for a c/r, depending on who called. if i have a read that CO is likely to have an ace (in the scenario where he continuation-bets), i donk the turn, hoping to 3-bet it.

Buzz-cp · #8 10-24-2006, 12:20 PM

well, then another argument for betting this flop is to not let it get checked through with the 2 diamonds.

I like the check-raise attempt. Villain is much much less likely to be holding AK/AQ/AJs since two aces are dead. This means we expect him to hold KK/QQ/JJ/TT/KQ/KJs more often:

AK/AQ = 16 hands
AJs = 2 hands

KK/QQ/JJ/TT = 24 hands
KQ = 16 hands
KJs = 4 hands

Therefore getting two bets in on the usual flop c-bet is better than trying to milk 3 bets when he has a hand (unless villain is aggressive and will cap AK/AQ/AJs).

Going for the flop check-raise was correct, IMO. I'll rely on Aaron's combinatoric analysis here (although I think the range is slightly too narrow, I'd have included ATs, 99, and maybe QJs as well).

Betting the turn is good.

As for the river, I see no reason not to go to war with the nuts here. Don't be worried about villain's holding.
