25/50 hand against the gift of gab
5 handed at FTP.
Gift of gab has been playing pretty tight, but has raised the last five times when I have been on BB and he on BTN. He has won all those 5 pots either preflop or postflop by betting me out of the pot. I have been playing loose-agressive for the about 50 hands I have been in the table. I have just picked up pots either by betting them on flop or reraising preflop. I havent gone to showdown even once during the session. I have $7700 and he covers. He makes the standard open raise to $175 from button SB folds and I reraise to $550 with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] from BB he calls. Flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet out $1100 and he calls. Turn is A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I bet out $3300 planning to call for the rest ~$2700 if he raises. Any thoughts about the hand, I'm not sure if I played any streets correctly. |

As played, I doubt he pushes anything you beat. I think a turn chk/ra > than a lead for obv reasons.

i kinda like it if he thinks that you won't ever lead out with just a pair aces on the turn, and that you are firing another barrel cuz its a perfect scare card

I,
"He has won all those 5 pots either preflop or postflop by betting me out of the pot." OK, then I don't think he's going to call you w/ a hand you beat here and I don't think he's going to try and make you fold for $2700 w/ $12,600 in the middle. Given the stack sizes, pot here seems like a terrible amount to bet. |

Re: 25/50 hand against the gift of gab
eld is right obv, youll rarely get action from a worse hand. however something has to be said about protecting your hand and taking the $3300 pot now.
theres a fine line between extracting value and protecting your hand, and i surely dont have a definitive answer. plus the metagame of showing him that he cant just float the flop vs you and expect anything other than another barrel. |

i think a turn c/f is prob best here. seems unlikely hes gonna bet any hand he doesn't want to felt here since a turn c/r is so likely coming from your spot after you check, and any hand he wants to felt is likely better than AT.

[/ QUOTE ] imo, theres alot more metagame value in checking this turn then betting this turn against someone who may be floating. you beat floaters by checking the turn to let him hang himself, not bet whenever you have something. |

[/ QUOTE ] i agree, however, ITILTEZ has been reraising pre liberally, so he doesnt have to have a big hand at all, unlike what bruiser seems to think. but, those big hands ARE in the range too, so villian will rarely bet a worse hand on the turn when we check, but he will certainly take the free card. i think we bet to take down the pot now |

Gabby obviously has Ax of hearts and shoves and river pairs the board.
Semi [ship it crucial]. |
