Checking the turn is in no way bad at all, I just think there's probably still value to be had by betting. He pretty much never has us beat on the flop, so we're only worried about diamonds on the turn and very few combos of other hands, but I think his calling range of our turn bet is big enough to compensate for the times he does have diamonds. He'll likely still call with all aces, maybe even KQ if he has the king of diamonds, KJ the same and maybe even some other stuff depending on how bad he is. If he raises, bar any particular reads or particular bet sizing tells, I'd be happy to fold. But checking is definitely not 'bad' by any means at all, especially if we think he'll fire the turn and river wide if we do check, but I think by default most people will check behind all the marginal made hands we beat here if we do check which is why I'd prefer a bet to a check call."In the world, there are many kings but there is only one God.

last to act after big sqz and opener call with AJs.
What's my default play here?
Opener is a decent player, 2bb/100 winner over 5k sample, playing 23/14 with 2AF F2CB of 48% (50 times)
Squeezer is a 15bb/100 winner over 6k hands, plays 18/15 with 4.7AF 3bets 6/7% across all positions really. Has a cbet in 3bet pot of 66% (38 times)

I'd fold, despite position, I think it's a very RIO situation and will be very tough to play post flop in what could easily end up a hugely inflated pot
@Keane, given he check backed turn I think leading is fine. Though were pretty much never bluffing having taken this line, we can't just assume our opponent knows this, and given the way the hands played he's very likely to have some marginal made hand that'll probably try bluffcatch the river. I'd just bet slightly more, so that we can at least slightly look to have bluffs in our range + I think he's likely calling the slightly bigger bet almost just as often as the smaller one."In the world, there are many kings but there is only one God.

Have been trying to work on my hand reading and pick some good spots to go with my reads so would like some opinions on the following hands to see if my thinking/line is somewhat compedent or just redic stupid.
Hand 1: Villain is 21/18 over 325 hands. Steals 30% and 22% from SB. He probably see me as pretty aggro pre, 9%+ 3bet but nothing to crazy post flop. I'd 3bet him a few times already and he On the river I don't ever think he has a flush, AK or set so I think he has weak Aces here nearly always and it's a tough call for him to make.

Hand 2: Villain is 24/22, two limpers are fishy, with the half stack being a massive whale. I'm a snug 27/22 and would have been calling or raising OTB. Again would be fairly solid post flop with solid hands going to show down or weak hands being check down. Villain being solidish reg I thought I'd baluga him on the turn. Because of the fish a 5 can still easily be in my range. Yay or nay? Does anyone fold overpairs at 20nl?

I agree on hand one, but chances of shoving complete air in both has to be slim. I think in hand two I rep enough that I can get folds. Set of twos, 3's, quads, A5, 45, 65, A4 are all in my range I think. My bluffs with be 6h7h, AhXh and not much else. In hand two, I'd honestly probably fold Q's and below.
Hand 1 I rep little, but his river bet seems like such a blocking bet with a weakish hand.

That rake is insane in relative terms, wonder if it's beatable.
Don't really like the raise size, think you'd be better off just shoving.Last edited by Denny Crane; 17-01-11, 07:14.

I'd raise to like 90c to 1.10 there and get it in with them, Rake is a killer at that level i played like 20k hands at that level at the end of last year and including all my leaks i couldnt beat it!

Hand 2 - you rep nothing and it was a bad card for villain to barrell but he still did meaning you are getting called imo

Villian is unknown but flop is terrible for me imo.
I raise the flop because the min bet is pretty much always folding. Definitely wouldn't have fired a third barrel unless K on the river. In hindsight the flop raise was a little small but I wouldn't have made it much more normally anyway.

Hand 1 - a) Fold pre b) If you're going to do it you have to barrell the turn as well. An aggro player who has got called on the flop isn't going to all of a sudden slow down on the turn if he has a monster.
Also playing rags like this puts you on the fast track to bustoville. It's grand for the first few times as you'll get away with it but once a hand like this goes to showdown all regs are going to be taking notes and as such we can't get away with it later on. 3 bet hands bvb which can hit flops in a few different ways ie TPGK, Top two, straight draw, flush draw, combo draws. A hand like J2s can only really flop top pair no kicker or a fd. At micros flatting pretty wide can also work as you should have an edge post flop.
Hand 2 - A solidish reg should rarely be raising light from the sb regardless of the fish. In fact this would probably discourage him to as he's more likely to be playing a bloated multiway pot oop. I know we can talk about isolating them but there's definitely better opportunities as for him to play pots with them ip. For that reason I can see myself folding pre..I'm not a nit tbh but it just seems that A10 and AJ are the very very bottom of his range.Pining for Wa'erford

Ugh, I'd never end up folding in practice. Why does anyone b3b a single hand in their range here when your range is so wide and you'll be barreling so many turns?

I think raising is ok tbh. he bets barely over half the pot...defo want more value from his overpairs, 8's and 56s. If he's bad enough to b3b with a set there then all the above can be in his range. Donking is a tricky science as everyone reacts differently to it so if you're playing a lot of tables or don't have good reads on spazzing tendencies its best avoided, except in squeezing spots etc.

Partypokers PTR challenge thing is loads of fun, nearly 2k hands today splashing around at 10nl and it being quite fun ftw. For those not in the know you have to do upto 12 challenges and the more you do the more you win, if you get there first. challenges are anything like open limp AA and win at showdown to hit a 7 card straight or win a pot where 5 people see a flop at showdown.
I was nearly in life threatening tilt though for one which was get a 500bb stack on any table. I literally had 497bbs on one table and couldn't get over the line, then I binked a near 500bb pot on another table and managed to finish the job that time. I'd have murdered many a penguin if I didn't get that...Last edited by Sledgejammer; 20-01-11, 03:48."In the world, there are many kings but there is only one God. I am God, I am El Tren" :{)

Thats rough line us. Swings and roundabouts though.
I still can't find someone who runs to EV though?! Roadsweeper is the only person I know who has... I ran above EV for about a year, but have fallen ever so slightly (60bi) behind the curve now.... 40 of those were in my last db though, so no proof there!Last edited by TommyGunne; 20-01-11, 23:59.Foldaramus et foldarabimus
