50NL : How to handle this LARGE bet

MoP_86 · #1 08-17-2007, 02:52 PM

Villian is 22/14/1.75 over 70 hands ... I've seen him make big bets in the past but havent seen a show down. The problem with this bet is that it doesnt look like one for value at all... but then again there could be some reverse psychology running here

PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG ($44.70)
MP ($16.15)
CO ($9.10)
Button ($46.25)
SB ($50.25)
Hero ($52.60)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
4 folds, SB raises to $1.75, Hero raises to $5.5, SB calls $3.75.

Flop: ($11) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $2.5, Hero raises to $10, SB calls $7.50.

Turn: ($31) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $34.75 (All-In), Hero ???

he could do this with any Q expecting to be called by any Ace, or AQ expecting to be called by any Q.

I just decided to look him up in another hand I played... he pushed all in (3x the pot) into a board of A37 when I held AK...

he had KK... maybe i should have called in that previous hand [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think you got really lucky here. You called a bet with a super marginal hand and horrible pot odds...

This is almost always a monster hoping you hit that A. Usually he's figuring you're always folding worse than an A, so if you hit it you pay him off. You got lucky as hell here, but I would recommend never doing it again, lol.

What are you two talking about saying I got lucky calling a bet? where did I call in this hand?

MoP_86 · #8 08-17-2007, 07:21 PM

oh on the AK hand?... I had seen him make that large over bet a few more times and something just smelled like rotten cheese... I felt pretty confident calling with that AK.
