1/2 A2 in the SB vs. LA-A

SlantNGo · #1 04-07-2006, 11:31 PM

Villain is 39/20/3.2 and had high fold to bet percentages for a LAG. Against most players here I raise this from the SB, with the exception of very loose but passive players, for which I open-limp. I'm not sure what to do with it against a LAG though.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
3 folds, Hero raises, BB calls.

Flop: (4 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (4 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

I think this was a very bad raise. He either has a made hand, a draw, or overcards, and he's not folding any of the 3.

River: (8 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero folds.

I should call here, eh? What if I only called the turn?

Final Pot: 9 BB

you're getting value or folds out of overcards often... he's probably folding all non-diamond overs, and you're ahead of diamond-overs, since you saw that he folds to raises, the turn c/r isn't bad. Calling down isn't bad either... the river looks like a very tough decision.

I prefer the fish line vs. Lags - check/call turn, check/call river.

I'd c/c turn and c/f river UI. Even for a LAG that turn card just improved a ton of his range.

Well, you are right, the turn raise is silly. I'd just call this down and fold the river. Everything legitimate that raises the flop has caught a showdown hand by the turn. If he raised the flop illegitimately, then oh well, we can still catch up with a ton of outs or he bluffs us out of a small pot. If it starts to look like he's trying his hardest to outplay you, then call it down.

I would seriously consider folding the turn. Is this too weak in a blind vs blind situation?

Considering you have the nut flush draw, yeah I'd say it's a tad too weak.

Without the nut flush draw I would strongly consider folding the turn.

I'd probably call the river getting 9:1. You'd be surprised how many overcards or busted flushes you see.

Oh yeah... and your turn check raise is pretty pukey.

But would you call the river only getting 7:1 assuming I just check/called the turn? I know the turn c/r was bad, but I'm wondering whether I should fold or call the river if I just called the turn, and I think it's close.
