I was playing a MMT live tourny tonight, I was on BB with K4 os, 2 limpers sb completes.

flop was K93, 2 spades, sb checks, I bet out 400 ( blinds were 100-200) so pot was already 800.

UTG+1 folds, loose player with (big stack) calls, sb folds.

Turn is a blank I bet out 800, thinking he was on a draw and altho he was pretty loose, he might fold.....he calls.....

river is the Q of spades,well not a great card, and i'm thinking what can I beat if he was on a draw?

So I check, he bets 500, hmmmmm..... now what? players was loose , yet I didnt think he was smart enough to make a (I want you to call bet) ..

My read said fold, my pot odds said call...

what the right play???????

Stack sizes would be most helpful.

But I think I might bet bigger on the flop, and slowdown to check/call or check/fold mode thereafter. If he's on a draw, I'll let him make his bad decision by calling an overbet on the flop.

I had to bet into 3 players with top pair and a bad kicker , it was more i WANT TO SEE WHERE I'M AT BET.....

I coulda went all in and if loose big stack was on a flush draw i'm sure he woulda called after the flop.

not 100% sure of our stacks, I had about 3500 and he had about 5500.

just a rough estimate though....

looks like a weak bluff to me... maybe 50/50 A9 or two spades.

I make the call. If u fold u now have a crappy M and basically have to push/fold PF, if u call and lose ur in a very slightly worse situation, if u call and win u are in a way better situation. looks like a good reward for your risk.


[edit] live you probably couldve gotten more reads other than just betting patterns.. It shouldnt have been to hard to know if he hit or missed.

That's OK and with multiple villains perfectly understandable. But what did you learn from your bet? Were you sure he's on a draw? Could he have had a better King than you and not raise? Could he have had a monster and wants you to keep betting into him?

If you start with 3500, then after betting the turn you've got 1/3 of your stack committed to this hand. Is it worth it?

Player was very loose,and very poor player..he kept calling out of turn, I told him he had to wait his turn on 1 hand and he asked, whats the difference? If he had a king he woulda just called me down, any draw he woulda called me down...

I had played with this player the whole night (about 3 hours)so I had a good read on him.

I later got involved in a pot with him I had 8 10 in my BB limped pot flop was 10 10 J,I bet out 500 he called, turn was a3 I checked he bet out 200 I hesitated and just called him .

(I was pretty sure he would bet the river)

river was a 9, I checked again he bet 600, I hestated quite a while and said all-in for 2600 more he called with A9..
