What does player A have? What is your calling range if you're player B? What do you think player B has?

Flop:Player A can have any 78, 89, Two diamonds, or Any overpair 10s or less. (He'll probably repop pf with AA, KK, and I'd expect a raise on the flop with AA-JJ). He could even have 3s and want to be tricky. Player B probably has an overpair or two broadway cards. He's a lot less likely to have the flopped full, and is unlikely to have an 8.

Turn: Player A doesn't have a flush draw. I think suited connectors with an 8 unless he's crazy, and I assume not being wacky is part of this game. Player B doesn't just have two broadway cards. He's pretty likely to have AA/KK/QQ.

River: Player A has the 8 so often here. Player B is folding unless he just rivered a full house Queens over 8s, and then he's doing a dance.

Making an all-in bet of $200 at a $200 pot might make me think he has a K... it's not a real value bet so he may be trying to run you off the 3's and 8's on the board with his K kicker.

I'm not thinking he's boated up unless he has been slow-playing earlier and trapping others well...

Making a bet that size really makes me think he does not want a call.

so are you saying you call there with A high?

If you're gonna make posts like this, at least provide some reads for the players so that people aren't just picking any 2 random cards.

my guess:

the nuts and the 2nd nuts


what do I win?

Player A = A8
Player B = Ace high flush draw

those are my guesses

Yes... I call

Player A has 7 8 .
Player B has A K . I fold the turn.

I'm player A here and i have 7d9d, i wanted to check whether this line is believable or not. Is there any way you can call if you're player B the way the hand played out unless you have QQ? I was thinking it through and i thought maybe the 50 on the turn looked like a block bet and the all in was too much on the end. I was actually hoping she would call the turn so i could make more money with my river bluff. All in all i thought i played the hand well but i ended up getting called by 1010. I came to the conclusion that my oponent was just a really bad player but i might be wrong. Criticism on all steets is welcome.

There is no reason in this hand to float the flop in hopes to steal the pot on a later street.

He also has 700 behind, which tells me he is a lucky call station, or a good player.

because we dont know which it is, its hard to figure out his logic,

but I can tell you that your logic is severely flawed.

The pot is about 50 on the flop.

he bets 40.

you call 40 with plans to invest another 50 to win a grand total of 90+your 40. And thats if he has AK, AQ or is capable of laying down QQ-AA here.

so in a sense, you're risking 90 here to win 90. Not worth it, especially in a situation like this.

Dont try and be Mike Mcdermott, thats all i can say.

Don't bluff 1-2 Live?

Unless I'm missing something, he flopped a flush draw.

I'd fold the turn and the river bluff is absolutely horrible.

Oh, i didnt even notice that. This is a poor way to play it IMO. with a paired board we dont know which outs are good and which might fill him up.

regardless, villain bet the pot, we have no other calls. there is no reason to proceed. I'm sure we've all folded FD's, as cool as they are.
