Hahahaha.....Wouldn't call it the worst ever. I've lost money 4 or 5 times where I thought "I KNOW this guy has quads, but I have a full," and I justified some calls by saying that that was one of those hands you just have to suck up and lose a few extra bets on.All signs point to button having a weak ace, so if there ever was a time to fold a house to quads, this is it...

if the button had a weak ace he should have his head examined for not betting the river. as for your check on the river, i think you will only be called (or raised?) by quads or a larger boat so the check is fine.

True. But some people have strange notions of check raising HU

Seems fine. Button probably is trying to check-raise you

[KDawgCometh]

reads would be very nice here. I'd bet it and painfully call a raise

[DCWildcat]

Yeah dude. I got an exam on fractals and chaos theory in 28 minutes. Not looking forward to it.But it is my exam, and after it, I'll read a little SSHE, pack up some stuff, and get hammered. And stay that was for 3 days 8)

how does the button go about checkraising when he acts last?

[Puddleglum5555]

just saw your correction, sorry vade :wink:

[wrto4556]

I forgot what I was responding to...

[wrto4556]

right, the 77 hand.Not sure if I like the raise preflop or not...I limp unless everyone behind me is super tight.The river is interesting. Will worse hands call our bet?

[MrNiceGuy]

Must've had KhQh. (or 33, but I don't think he cold-calls 3 bets preflop with it). If so, he probably makes the crying call with the pot this big (although he really shouldn't; what can he beat that you raise preflop with?)I guess it comes down to, would he cap the turn with a 3-flush on board with just trip aces? If not, he either has the flush, A7, or 33. So maybe you could bet the river, since only specifically the case A and the case 7 would beat you. But I think it's hard not to check there; too many unknowns to put him squarely on the flush.

[Whatever]

OT:At party a couple of weeks ago I saw a guy catch his straight flush on the river and LAST TO ACT - checked. His response: "Sorry, I'm drunk" :shock:

Finished my exams last week... I now will enjoy 3 weeks of full time poker before summer session starts Good luck guys... No-Doz helps, and adderrol, but the add. has alot of bad long term effects, stick to NoDoz

[Emptyeye]

Well, button cold-called 3(!), then called on the flop, then went nuts on the turn, then checked the river. And I just now realized that a pocket pair bigger than 7s also beats you.He went nuts on the turn, despite the flush draw getting there. This tells me one of two things--either he's one of those fish I love to see in micro-limit who think only "ooh, I hit my big draw!" without paying attention to what else said card could have helped (Or what's already on the board), OR he's not scared of said flush for whatever reason. So the question becomes "would he cold-call 3 bets with a pocket pair bigger than sevens?", and, if so, "Why would he wait until the turn to go nuts when a scary-ass card comes for him?"Interesting hand, and I can definitely understand the check.
