guess I'm the only one folding K5o otb.
Then again, I don't play 6max.

forget 6-max...it's 3-handed. I dont play much shorthanded, but this is an easy raise IMO.

I dunno. I check behind on this river quite a bit. Is that weak?

I like the turn raise for a free showdown. You still bet that river if it doesn't pair the board in such a way that you split with most other Kings?

The turn raise was for value.

I considered checking behind the turn when the ten hit. I really have no idea how good/bad the river bet was. The maniacs could call with a wide range of hands. It's unlikely that he has a king, but a ten is probable. He may also have a 2, pp, or even a queen.

terribly weak. you miss a ton of value by doing that. Turn raise is a value raise, nothing more, nothing less. You are still in teh full mode where if a flush card or a third straight cards hits that you're fucked. This is three handed, those likelys are much much less. Screech has top pair, that is massivly strong three handed. The whole hand is just fine and dandy

amen.

aseem

pretty standard...many bb will lead the flop with any pair or even ace high if they feel you are raising from position

Yeah, you're probably right. Of course, it helps that you see that screech wasn't c/r'ed in this hand on the river.



This is a blatently unfair statement. I assume you're refering to hands I've posted recently where such a card hit in a multiway pot and I either folded or slowed down. As it turns out, I was right in almost every case, but hey, think what you will.



I only said I was unsure about the river bet, not that he played it poorly. I also suggested that he might use that turn raise for a free showdown in the case that he feared a c/r on the river. A deuce (unlikely), a T, and a smaller pocket pair is all I can put villain on here. Betting is probably the better option here tho, I agree.

Jeff

nah, you misunderstood kdawg.

he meant that you were fearing the "scare" card too much because you're in a ring game state of mind. three-handed, that 10d, even though it pairs the board and completes a backdoor flush, isn't that scary at all when it's just three-handed.

i'm pretty sure he wasn't referring to your previous posts at all.

aseem

Ah, well hell, I agree there

Jeff

yeah, previous posts didn't even occur to me, its just by talking about checking a scare card on the river is thinking in full mode as opposed to the situation at hand. In hosrt handed games, and especially very short games, hand values go up tremendously, and top pair hands are like virtual gold. of course, we can always reevaluate if we get CRed, but, I'm betting this river til the cows come home

darn, I wanted to see a fight!

j/k.

sorry, little bored at work.

nh Screech.

I impulsively raise this flop and lose that BB on the turn.
