MasterLJ 0 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm in BBMiddle position is half-stacked. No real read on him, not many hands in PT.I'm dealt K 5 Mid position limps, button, CO and SB also limp.Flop comes A 4 Q Checks throughTurn: 9 I fire pot-sized, Mid position callsRiver: Q I fire out 3/4 the pot, mid position min-raises.I tank... obviously I'm going to call at least, but I'm thinking about extraction.There currently is not much money in the pot and I am confident I have the best hand. Obviously I didn't want to see that river, but none-the-less the villain has shown no aggression. Generally, a set is going to protect against a 2-suited flop, same with 2 pair. AQ is an extremely playable hand, but usually someone would open-raise pre-flop and would bet to protect on the flop.I put villain all-in (he's half stacked).Good, bad, ugly?

Deeper stacked not sure. My river aggression sucks anyway, any thoughts on what to do with say, 150bbs? Link to post Share on other sites
screech 0 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 seems good on the river. he most likely has trips and won't fold.i think you should fire a 1/2 pot size bet out on the flop. this will make it easier for you to increase yuor impied odds when you hit, while also serving as a semibluff.

krup24 0 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm kinda curious as to what MP would call a pot sized raise with on the turn since he checked the flop. I agree with screech that you should bet 1/2 the pot on the river here. Hopefully hes not holding Q9 or holds a donked up AQ. Link to post Share on other sites
fckthis 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I think its a good push. Unless he slow played the crap out of you. Link to post Share on other sites
MasterLJ 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 My general line is to bet that flop. Can't remember why I didn't to be honest it's been so long. I am an aggressive player and I like to bring people in and build a pot here, it makes my pay off larger. I think I may have refrained from betting due to position, but that usually doesn't stop me.Results:I don't think I would have posted this if I didn't lose the hand =P, but I am glad there is a consensus that I played it correctly, as I thought I did. Pushing all-in on the river only to get beat gives me that sick feeling in my stomach knowing that I literally just gave away money.Villain had AQ. Link to post Share on other sites

shpaget 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 What do you think calls your bet that you beat?Smaller flush...possibly/probably.Qx - probably.Top pair...borderline.Anything else?Yeah, I think there are enough hands to make a raise here right.If you're beat he really played AQ or a set of 4's questionably....a set of 9's I think was played OK here.
