[Good Call Or Just Luck?]

People, situation yesterday at a $5-$10 table.10-handed tableHero: QQ, Late PositionEveryone callsHero raises to $75Villain (Dealer ) callsUTG 1 callsEveryone else foldsFlop: 4-4-J - Pot: $270UTG1 checkHero raises to $150 (50% the pot aprox.)Villain goes all in ($800)UTG1 foldsHero callsTurn: 4-4-J-QRiver: 4-4-J-Q-5Hero shows: QQVilain Shows: AJHero wons the pot: $1870I raised pre-flop and he called. It was the second hand he had played in the table and the hand before he went all in before with pocket 9. I figured that if he had something, he could have 44, JJ, AJ, JK (not JQ, I had two already and that would be a problem).What do you think?

[How To Play This Hand Hu Vs Kobe2odom In A Neg-o?]

I would have played with those cards, reaching the flop, calling or betting a little like you did on the flop, looking for the possibility of someone just calling my bet in order they to think i have something to show a little respect as I dont have position, but when he re-raised you, that means something. He probably had the flush too or set of A or Q (why not?) and he was trying to test your will.I would have called only the flop bet, after that, not anymore, after all, you're just putting in a little more money in order to be able to go all in against his stack and win. If there were the possibility of a full (a pair in the table, fold instantly if you dont have the flush!) but it was too much money to reach to the final...besides...if a 6 of spades came, you would have to fold too. He might have a full house with that play!.You will say, besides, he preflop with AA or QQ??? Probably...pair in hand, pair in table...A...dude...just fold!!! He had you covered all the way...In my only thread I comment I had a hand just like this. A9s hearts. Preflop Button Bet...I Call. Flop...two hearts...Button bets...I call...hearts comes out....BINGO!!!Only see one card...two...it will cost you!!!

[Flush On The Turn - Check - Check]

I was looking for a flush draw on the turn, and it appeared! After that I just checked, not betting, taking the risk of the river card making a pair in the table or another heart, because Villain was a very tight player. If he thought i had the flush on the turn and I raise, he would have fold his set of kings (believe, HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT!!!, at least, in the way i saw him playing all the night! Not a very sane choice, but he was a very tight player).That's why I checked on the turn!!! The only way to be able to reach his stack, was to take that little risk on the river card, by checking on the turn and calling his bet before the river.Was it te best choice on the long run??? Of course not. Most of the times if another heart showed up or a card that makes a pair in the table, it would literally kill my play (a heart not so terrible, a pair....OUCH!!! He would have a full house!) But in this case, i think it was the right choice!!!. A little bit of strategy, a little bit of luck!!!I think that i once heard Daniel saying that, sometimes to play like you shouldnt, is the right choice! I think this one was one of those!!!Or it was just to say like "It was the wrong choice in the right moment" lol

[Flush On The Turn - Check - Check]

Hi Guys, this is going to be my first post. Im from Argentina and I want to know your oppinions on this hand I played yesterday at the Madero Casino.Position: BB - Stack: $1000 (aprox)Blinds 5-10A9s (h). Everyone checksDealer raises to 55SB FoldsI callEveryone else folds.Flop - Pot: $140 aprox.4(h)-K(h)-9(d)Dealer raises to 150I CallTurn - Pot: 440 4(h)-K(h)-9(d)-2(h)What would you do? Raise or check?In this occasion i checked, the dealer checked and a 3© came in the river. I was thinking that he had a set of kings. Killer flush! I checked...he went all in ($450 more). I instantly called.I know that when you have a flush and you KNOW other one has a set you must bet because if a pair comes out in the river, you are doomed. But in this case I decided to do a little slowplay to maximize my hand.What do you think??? It was a risky play, but he finally went all in.In order...River - Pot: 440 4(h)-K(h)-9(d)-2(h)-3©Dealer all in ($450)I call ($450)Dealer shows KKBB shows A9s(h)BB wins with Flush A high. - Total Pot: $1340.Want to know your opinions on this slowplay in order to maximize the profit!!!!Regards!!!
