Passive with big draw S8
I was wondering if anyone would be more aggressive than I was here with my hand. I was considering raising 5th and 6th but decided to just call instead. Losing value?

Re: Passive with big draw S8
I'd raise 5th probably but other than that it's fine. I honestly don't really know what any sort of situations look like equity wise on 6th street, but like a zillion of your scoop cards are dead so I would be surprised if calling wasn't the best option by far.

Re: Passive with big draw S8
5th is probably a raise. I think Seat 6 is betting to try and get rid of anyone since everyone's board is kind of trashy. I put him on a 4-card Eight and is hoping the 3 paired you and/or Seat 2.
I think just calling 6th is fine with just one card to come and diamonds being really dead. I suspect Seat 6 just made his low anyway. |

Re: Passive with big draw S8
If diamonds/7's were a lot more live would 6th ever be an easy raise? Or is it almost always best to call HU on 6th when drawing, no matter how robust the draw is?

Re: Passive with big draw S8
With the big live two-way draw, I think I would just call 6th regardless. The problem is that if you miss both, you'll probably have to bluff the river to win and you'll be hard-pressed to get him to lay his hand down. He'll think his hand is good enough to call one bet thinking he's good in at least one direction.

Diamonds are now totally live, as are Deuces. Changing Villain's 7 to a 5 to give him another straight out actually hurts Hero's equity. The fact that Villain has an Ace and Hero can't even beat that also makes a big difference. Change the A to a 3 and it's almost even money. So my convoluted answer is: I'm not sure. He could just be betting his board to get you to fold (e.g. he paired his Deuce) so if you throw in some FE with raising 6th and betting 7th (and he whiffs on his draw there), an argument for raising could be made. I'd like to hear some others' perspective on this as well. |

With the dead cards, I think just calling along was fine.

Re: Passive with big draw S8
I was thinking about this hand some more and thought of another reason why I think just calling is better, at least in this particular case.
If you raise 6th, Villain may just shut down on the river, thinking his hand isn't going to scoop. His hand is fairly uncoordinated--his only two-way threat is a baby heart flush which is pretty unlikely here anyhow. So only one bet goes in on the river when you do hit one of your scoop cards. But he'll still probably c/c if you try bluffing the river when you miss. But if you just call 6th, there's a good chance he'll bet into you, e.g. he pairs Aces and has an 8-low. Then you can fold at no extra cost when you miss, or raise when you hit and you will almost certainly be paid off. |
