Re: 1/2 Live: Check Up Please
hand 1: I think is fine so far. I'd bet like 80-110 and watch him close, although I think you'd be ahead in most cases.
Hand 2: let it go. your chance was on the flop and you didn't bet enough imo. The pot is $80? and you bet $30? Once in a while, I'll just open shove in this situation for a couple reasons. 1-FE, 2-TP with big outs, 3-even if you're called with something like 2p, you're still basically flipping a coin. I don't bet any less than about $60. If I'm beat, I'm getting it stuck in over the top of me. hand 3: I think is probably a fold. If he just posted a blind to sit in and I don't have any other info, meh, I think I'd let it go. If I have ANY reason to believe otherwise, I'm snap calling this. If you've never seen him, let it go. ATo is good sir. |

Re: 1/2 Live: Check Up Please
Thanks for the reply:
In hand one I believed that I was good but wasn't sure if check-raising gets me money from Queens or worse Kings. Or if betting out would net more money. I ended up pushing here on the turn but was unsure if I left money on the table. I blew it in hand two. I didn't realize the error until I was typing up the post at home. $30 dollars was way too little. Perhaps a 3/4-pot sized bet would be better. I'm not sure if bloating a 4 way monotone flop with one pair is a good idea. Checking might have been best? I'm truly lost on this one. Hand three disgusted me. I was prepared to bet about half the pot on the turn in order to extract value but the T is probably one of the worst cards that I could see. I guess this is a good fold but I have doubts. |
