a "creative" (crappy) river checkraise for kicks


Recommended Posts

$3/$6 hold 'em, six-handedCO is the only relevant villian. he is new to the table and i have absolutely no read.i'm CO with 8 :) 7 :D .UTG limps, i limp, CO limps, ..., BB checks.(4 SB) A :) Q :club: 4 :) BB checks, UTG checks, i check, CO checks.(2 BB) 4 :D BB checks, UTG checks, i bet, BB folds, UTG folds, i call.(6 BB) Q :D i check, CO bets, ...how good/bad is this raise specifically against an unknown?the purpose was to possibly and rarely fold a better flush and to make a "pro" player make an amazing laydown with 4-x. alternately, it might be to get value from an aggressive player who raised the turn with a worse flush draw.i also wasn't sure what to do if he three-bet. i think i'm folding but maybe i'm paying 1 BB more to see what he limps with here that has a 4 in it, or that he raises the turn with Q-x or what.honestly, i think my checkraise is pretty crappy, but i just felt like experimenting. any thoughts?aseem

I'm going to say it was very nice.More an A then a Q or 4. Blah Blah Blah...Trying to steal because he doesn't think you hit anything, blah blah blah.If I don't see that play 10 times in a session where the guy has Ax or shit, it just isn't a normal 6max 3/6 game.

At 3/6 I dont think any flush or FH is passing for one bet. I know some of our heads will say "I fold a four here" but in my experience, it is going to showdown. Thats not to say you lose as the A checkraise is a realistic possibility.So, go on, who won?

How often will an ace call your checkraise there?How often will _anything_ that you have beat call your raise there?I think i prefer bet/folding or check/calling.
