Bodog 1/2 NLHE (9-handed)

UTG+1 $420
MP3 $200
Button $250
Cobalt $190

Cobalt is BB w/ 8 8 . Opponents are LAG and decently tricky.

Pre-flop:
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $8

Flop ($65): 6 3 8 (4 players)
Cobalt checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks

Turn ($65): A (4 players)
Cobalt checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks

River ($65): 4 (4 players)
Cobalt bets $40

(I have $134 left after my raise.)

well, only trip aces beat you here. I don't like that we didn't bet on the flop or the turn.

It might be weak play to just call here, but your other option is almost like a blind push since your only information was his open raise pre-flop.

Eh... I push, and if he has the one hand that beats me, whatever.

I'd expect AA to have reraised preflop - I'm more scared of 75.

But, I push and hope to get called by 66, 44, or aces up.

who'd call 16 preflop with 75?

I'd bet the flop for sure, its a pretty harmless flop imo and if you put a small bet out there I think an over pair would definitely call.

not sure about the play on the turn but I probably push the river and hope he doesn thave the one hand he could have that has me screwed.

[CobaltBlue]

Okay. My thinking seemed to be reasonable. I feel better about my push...though I still felt sick when he turned over AA.

No one likes going for the check-raise here? Granted, we're multi-way, but the board is super harmless.

Call.

I think UTG+1 was looking to get cute w/ AA here and let too many people in the pot. He was looking to get a C/R from MP3 continuation bet on the flop and never got it.

then the turn comes with only a diamond draw left, looks for the C/r again and doesn't get it.

On the river, it's the only hand that make sense for UTG+1 to have w/o any reads that he's a complete donk that would raise reflp with A6o

[CobaltBlue]

Can't give him an AK or AQ even? (I guess he wouldn't necessarily call a re-raise.)

[Scott3705]

AK AQ bets the turn as to protect against two pair. and to keep from c/ring into A6
