Set Of Aces facing river shove

6 handed NLHE. No info on any players villain has played only 1 orbit so no info at all.
I have been getting some nice hands pre so my image is probably quite loose to most however villain has only seen me play 1 or 2 hands.

Villain has $25 hero covers

Stack sizes?

Raise more preflop (4xBB + 1BB per limper) so therefore raise to $1 preflop.

On the flop, BB makes a monkey bet and if you're going to raise, AT LEAST raise it equal to the pot prior to the non-bet bet BB made, so at least to $2. Treat that near min bet as a check.

On the turn, why bet so small? Villain called your flop raise, so bet your hand. That 1/2 pot bet is horribly weak and we lose a lot of value here as villain told us on the flop that he liked his hand. So I bet at least $3.75 here if not full pot.

On the river, ugh, another weak bet by hero and BB pushes. I call but I think you could have made this hand much easier by sizing your bets better.

this is a relativley non scary board though imo. if there were a flush draw or it was A Q 10 i would obviously bet pot but i was hoping to get action from medium pairs suited connectors etc

my raise pre was actually to 0.7 to include the sb so 3.5*

Bet more on the flop/turn. Snap call river

like felix, i HATE your bet sizing. 4xBB + 1 for limpers PF. as played raise flop to at least $2, turn should be like $3.75ish, and i put about $6ish on the river. those sizes would be larger all throughout though since the pot would be bigger as you move along.

Your bet sizing at EVERY action in this hand illustrates what is likely a HUGE leak in OPs game...You get Max value at this level by BETTING and betting aggressively..

I agree with previous posters, I also don't c/r this flop. Just lead out.

4BB's + 1 per limper is standard so raise to $1 pre-flop.

Raise flop bigger...at least like 1.7

Bet turn bigger.

Bet river bigger.

Easy river call.

DaN_05 · #9 07-09-2007, 03:56 PM

Yeah lead out flop please. Check/raising shows a bucket load more strength and at this level these guys LOVE to call, so get value out of them!!

Lead flop $1.50ish. Turn at least $3. River about $6.

And river decision is an easy call and just be thankful he made getting all your money in easy for you, cos you made a hard job of it!

He turned over 55!! i think in most cases your more aggressive line would have worked also but in this case i think it would have scared him off... no idea what he was thinking about. all i thought was there's no way he would call a pre flop reraise with 3 5 so he cant have the str8...
