3/6 turn - UI ATo

SteveL91 · #1 02-23-2006, 04:42 AM

I thought this hand might be somewhat interesting. The primary villain seemed decent, but I hadn't seen that much of him; I suspect he might be a 2+2er, but hell if I know.

Prior to the past week or so, I've been primarily playing 2/4; lately, I've been playing 3/6 and 5/10, depending on how the 5/10 tables look.

Anyway, the hand:

Final Pot: 11 BB

As far as I'm concerned, PF and the flop are standard. Comment if you see the need, but I'm mostly curious about the turn. When it gets checked to me again, I figured I'd take a stab at it. I really couldn't see anyone slow-playing something, since it's pretty clear what I don't have. But, then I'm C/R'ed. After sorting through the hand for a few seconds, I thought it just felt like an odd way to play a J or a 7, so I called with the intention of calling the river, but raising any A/T.

Id fold to villian's raise.

Villian says he has a strong hand, you have poo, the pot isn't too big, and it will cost 2 bets to go to showdown.

Fair enough.. thanks. If he had bet out on the turn, I would have folded. But, I didn't think the line he chose on the turn showed strength; it reaked of my weakness to me, hence the call-down.

Even though it is a fantastic spot for villian to semi/pure bluff you still have to let it go.
7:2 isn't great when you consider you'll be splitting/losing the pot a decent percentage of the time he is bluffing.

If you plan on calling a river bet, you're probably better off 3bet/folding the turn and attempt to take the split/suckout out of the picture.

I agree that MP2's turn checkraise is suspicious, and you may have 6 outs versus his 3 outs in what will usually be a chop.

I probably would have folded, but I'm not sure what's best. I think MP2 could have a number of different things here, including hands that have you crushed. Online players do love to trap. Strange as it may seem, I do think he'll have a jack a lot of the time, and a 7 is also possible.

Does anyone bet the flop here?

I Bet the flop, and fold to any turn agression... If I don't bet the flop, i would fold to the c/r...a great chance you're drawing dead on the turn....
