Blink20 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Villian : 34/4/.7 Also an extreme calling station.Here's a couple hands before:PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (6 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is MP with [8s], [8d]. 1 fold, BB calls, Hero calls.Flop: (9.50 SB) [5d], [7h], [5h] (3 players)BB bets, CO calls, BB calls.Turn: (7.75 BB) [Th] (3 players)BB checks, Hero bets, CO folds, BB calls.River: (9.75 BB) [2c] (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.Final Pot: 11.75 BBResults in white below: BB has 9s Kd (one pair, fives). Hero has 8s 8d (two pair, eights and fives). Outcome: Hero wins 11.75 BB. *** I almost should've capped considering stats on CO in that hand, but only reason Im posting this hand is to show villian's calling on river criteria, which leads me to my real hand.Does this qualify as a clarkmeister, bet/fold?PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (5 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is BB with [6d], [8d]. 2 folds, Hero calls.Flop: (4.50 SB) [Ks], [Kc], [6c] (2 players)Hero checks, Button checks.Turn: (2.25 BB) [4d] (2 players)Hero bets, Button calls.River: (4.25 BB) [5d] (2 players)Hero bets, Hero folds.Final Pot: 7.25 BB Link to post Share on other sites
econ_tim 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Why did you check the flop?Against extreme calling station, I think bet/folding river is OK.Against most players, I check/call the river. Link to post Share on other sites
Blink20 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Why did you check the flop?.Is I don't know a good answer? I think I was going to c/r for some odd reason.Edit: It was in the heat of the moment!! Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Check/calling the river is better for a lot of reasons.Most people with AJ/AQ etc will take a shot here if you check it, and obviously better hands will raise a fair amount.A high checking beind here isn't a big deal value wise.It's unlikely you're folding an overpair to your 6s here by bettting.Good luck.
