This is one of several hands we played shorthanded(4-6 players) at a full ring table. Button is 80/47/.5 after about 50 hands.

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG raises, Button calls, Hero 3-bets, BB folds, UTG calls, Button calls.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img](8.5SB, 3 players)
Hero bets, UTG folds, Button calls.

Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img](5.25BB, 2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls.

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img](7.25BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 9.25BB

I often find it tough to decide how far to push overs, particularly AKu. Should I have played this slower?

Why c/c when you finally hit your ace HU? I think you gotta bet out on the river here. Villain looks like a good calling station for this vb.

No reason to slow down once you make your hand. Fire away.

I'd really like to hear your reasoning behind that river c/c.

Especially against this guy - with his profile, you seem unlikely to induce a bluff against a hand that would fold to your bet.

i`d say everything except River is standart, River is b/c for me

justin · #8 03-22-2007, 08:58 PM

i got everyones criticism of not b/c but after villan fires y not c/r?

My apologies, having read the responses I now realize the villain was pre-flop raising 4.7% not 47%. I do believe that makes him a passive player who wants to see every flop.

What does this change?

Again, sorry for the misprint and thank-you for your responses thus far.

I don't see how it changes anything unless you had a lot more sample than 50 hands. Yeah that's low but after 50 hands he may have only had 4 or so that were good premiums and you're still ahead of some of these (AQ, AJ, AT). I really don't see how this changes our river line at all. If he's got a pp then he's paying you off and if he's got Ace with a weaker kicker you're getting paid off and may even make more if he raises. The only conceivable thing that would suck here is AJ.
