Full Version: Tough River Decision

5 handed $1 NLHE.

SB-$75 has played very tight aggro
BB-$105 plays premiums only
UTG-$125 has played very very loose aggro
UTG+1-$95 has played very Loose passive
Button[me]-$175 has played very loose aggro

There has been a lot of pre-flop aggression, and the standard raise is around $4 with any holding [I've seen UTG call raises with J4o, K3s, Q6s, J2s...etc] and UTG+1 likes to get in there with any connecting cards and over plays his small pocket pairs. I have played a very loose game, a lot of connecting cards and pp's of any size.

Dealt to Me card_hearts_2.gif card_hearts_3.gif

UTG makes it $4, UTG+1 smooth calls, I smooth call, SB folds, BB folds.

Flop: card_diamonds_3.gif card_hearts_7.gif card_hearts_j.gif pot=$13 and change

UTG bets out $6, UTG+1 calls the $6, I raise to $12, UTG calls as does the UTG+1.

**anyone have a problem with my raise here?

Turn: card_diamonds_9.gif pot=$49 and change

UTG checks, UTG+1 checks and I check behind

**anyone throw out a bet here or is checking behind with bottom pair and flush draw a pretty standard move? I was a little afraid of being trapped by 99 or even the miracle 10-8, but I had a feeling one, or both of them had high Pockets and shut down after my raise.

River: card_clubs_2.gif pot=$49 and change

UTG bets out $15, UTG+1 Min-raises to $30....with bottom 2 pair we.....???

It's tough to tell since the numbers are so small, but did you really call a $4 raise with 23s? Really? Would you have folded any hands at all? Good lord.

I don't like your min-raise on the flop either. That accomplishes nothing except to make the pot bigger.

Your check behind is fine IMO

On the river... Tough one. I'd probably call with that two pair and hate myself afterwards for it.

But seriously... 23s???????

hmm. I raised then called a reraise with 2/4 hearts playing live the other day.

The check behind on the turn screams of draw, of course. Bet turn.

You happened to stumble into 2 pair on the river, which saves the play.

well taking into consideration my reads on the players, knowing the SB & BB will likely fold and I'll be going at it with the two loosest players at the table, i know if i hit my hand, I'll likely stack one or even both of them. And if I miss on the flop, I'm only in $4 and it is an easy fold.

The Min raise was accidental, I use the hotkeys and thought i was typing in my raise but my cursor wasn't on the right bar and when i hit F3 it did the minimum raise, I was going to make it $18 and possibly take it down there.

I won;t say what my action was until a few more posts, this hand happened 3 days ago and it's been on my mind.

I stopped reading when u smooth called a 4x BB raise w/ 23s

fold. it's too likely you're beaten by a better two pair or a set.

fold PF
raise more on flop
Betting turn is optional
Crying call on river and hope UTG doesnt re-raise. If he does fold

So would you have folded any hands at all in this situation? I mean, I guess your implied odds are decent, but that's almost literally all you've got here. I just can't imagine how calling with 32s can be good in any universe.

Well, at least you've got a reason for the terrible flop min raise...
