strategy 4 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I'm not a very good limit player, but I could easily see someone in .05/.1 playing a 28 off-suit that way. I've seen it in 3/6, too.The number of people in the pot would make it seem as though you could easily be up against one of many unreadable hands that could have you with two pair on the turn and a boat on the river. K8 seems logical. Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 My big question - did I play weak on the river, or is slowing down in that spot logical?Yo're fine to just call it. *Especially when you have the best hand*.Do you see why? Link to post Share on other sites

akishore 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 damn, i need to answer some of these pots before smash does, he steals my answers out of my mouth. :-) calling is correct because you might be beat, and if you raise, you'll likely get three-bet by the better hand which costs you two big bets. if you DO have the best hand, you're to the immediate left of the bettor, so you want the others behind you to stay. if you were on the button to the immediate left of the bettor and you had a better hand, a case could be made for raising, but this is not that situation.aseem Link to post Share on other sites
