[/ QUOTE ] <insert pf criticism here> If "people won't play back light to an unknown ep raiser" then don't you have an easy fold? I mean, there is a reason why you don't raise K7 from ep, and it's because if you hit a K and the money goes in you're usually [censored]. That being said, his line is really odd, especially on this board. I mean, what made hand checks the turn(I can't think of anything besides a draw/air that does this...maybe TT, 22, 33, but they should be betting the turn too)...I'm a nit so I think I'd probably kick myself for getting into this spot and fold anyway, but you definitely have the best hand sometimes. Also, I wouldn't mind your flop check with something stronger, but I don't really love it here (maybe be hindsight lol.) |

Re: flop the NUTS (tpnk)
You raised K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG...ok. But, villain doesn't know that. He most likely puts you on a AQ+,99+ kind of range. He expects a KTx board to hit you more often than not. He checks to you fully expecting you to bet. As a general rule when your opponent expects you to bet..DO IT! Say "Yep I got some of that, just like you thought" and see how he responds. When you check behind here you have suddenly narrowed your range to a whiff or a monster and your turn bet sure doesn't look like a monster trying to get some action from a villain whose shown nothing but weakness.
Bet the flop as expected and fold to a raise. |

What you effectively did was to try a blind steal from ep. It failed. So make a normal c-bet on the flop and fold to any resistance. As played here you have an easy fold, imho. Surely Villains line looks a bit weird, but maybe he is coldblooded enough to either check the flop AND check the turn while waiting for the opportunity to check-raise his monster - or crAI the turn because he doesn´t put you on the K (as you probably had bet the flop then). But you have no idea at all - so why take this risk? Give him respect for his play and fold (what even may be the best hand). |
