Should I have checked the flop or would that have been suspicious? Link to post Share on other sites
LJB723 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 FPS warning. You have the best hand here I say bet it, no need to get trappy, if you c/r this turn he'll be out the hand like a shot! What do you do if he checks behind and a heart comes on the river, because thats a likely card to hit him the way he played the flop.I think check/calling the flop would have allowed you to check the turn and induce another bet from him (perhaps a steal if he checked flop also) that you could raise and then put him in trouble. You've got the best hand and probably will by the river too, I say he has a weak ace and will pay you off. Link to post Share on other sites
biff_goods 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 yah definitely.....charge him to draw against you when you have the best hand. If you want to induce a bluff bet really BIG or somewhat smaller depending on your opponent but don't let him see the river for free. If you bet like .25-.30 here he is gonna call you with any A he called with on the flop and any flush draw and maybe (because of the stakes) a J. So why not make some more money off him.

SCS 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'd raise it a little more preflop, to about $.12.Bet more on the flop. Your flop bet is to small here. You need to bet more, because players will call more. You miss out on a lot of value by betting so small here, plus you give decent odds against draws.On the turn you should definitely continue betting. Link to post Share on other sites

ghoti 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 As played I'd bet close to pot on the turn, depends a bit on the villain. But I also would've bet at least 2x as much on the flop. Overall my goal here is to make draws pay and punish those who call along with one pair. Link to post Share on other sites

therescav 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Cheers for the advice guys. I think one of my big weaknesses is to always value bet, even when my opponent indicates strength and I could get a lot more out of him.What happened on the turn was I decided to bet out, made it $0.30 I think (3/4 of the pot) and the guy insta-shoved on me. I thought for a while but didn't think he had played it like a set, and from how he had been at the table I just didn't think he had it so i called. He showed 7-3 (wtf) and I won a nice pot.I don't play cash games all too often, just starting to get into them. Is this normal at 0.01/0.02 limits? To call a 4xbb raise PF with absolute junk? Or was this guy just a donk? Link to post Share on other sites
danc1984 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have never played that low but from my experiences at $10NL in the past I am not surprised at all by his holding. Link to post Share on other sites
Ricer98 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Don't raise limpers with this hand from the SB preflop at these limits, ever. Unless you make it 15-20x the big blind your getting called. Just call and if you hit your ace you'll get the guys stack regardless of wether you build the pot a little bit preflop.
