Yahkin 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I don't mind the call on the turn as you are ahead of a lot of his holdings. KJ, AA, QQ, and AQ are really the only thing that we might run into that have us beat. All are possiblilites based on his PF raise.His river bet is quite curious to me. What is he trying to accomplish with it? It's too small for a blocking bet. And he knows you will call more, so it's really too small as a value bet. Which makes me think that he is trying to get you to raise/bluff at the pot. This would worry me and I would have simply called as you did.I hate trap hands, I would have played it pretty much the same way. Link to post Share on other sites

cdipierr 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Not raising preflop causes difficult decisions postflop here. I think if you had raised preflop, been reraised and called, you could let it go on that flop. However, as it is, he's the bigstack and could be raising nearly anything. He could have hit Q9 or maybe QT or KJ. How close to the payouts are we? Given the size of the blinds, I guess this might be the FT? If so, I think I check / call as much as possible. The turn is not a safe card for us to bet given the texture of the board. Link to post Share on other sites

The turn is not a safe card for us to bet given the texture of the board.I should've mentioned something originally, but the only reason I didn't raise preflop was because the past 3 or 4 hands I'd raised on the button (mostly trying to buy the blinds) and he'd pushed all in. I figured that if I did the same this time, and he reraised all-in again, I still wouldn't really know where I stood in the hand. I opted just to limp and see how it played out from there.EDIT: We were well into the payouts, less than 60 people left. Link to post Share on other sites
