Recommended Posts

I promised y'all a hand the other day. Sorry it took so long. This hand is definitely non-standard, which is why I find it interesting.Full Tilt .25/.50 NLHE Rush (6-max)SB $50BB $34.35Cobalt $57.70MP $182.25CO $50Button $52.75Cobalt is UTG w/ :3h: :4h:. Being early in a Rush session when the game had just come out, I don't really have any reads.Pre-flop:Cobalt raises to $1.50, MP calls, 3 folds, BB callsFlop ($4.75): :club::qh:ts (3 players)BB checks, Cobalt checks, MP checksTurn ($4.75): :5c (3 players)BB bets $4, Cobalt calls, 1 foldRiver ($12.75): :jh (2 players)BB checks, Cobalt bets $8, BB raises to $20, Cobalt callsFinal Pot: $52.75

There are so many ways we lose this hand......there are also so many ways we win this hand.I think that if the Villain had a 10 we would have seen a push before now. So let's throw that away.No set nor mid pocket pairs either.The only hands I can really put the Villain on are something with a Q. At first I considered QQ, but that doesn't feel right. I think we'd see more from the Villain preflop.This leaves a strong Q of some sort. Perhaps QJ or KJ :club:...I make the Hero call.

Yah, as played I'd have to call river. Villain's range is huge and you are getting quite a price on the river. And I'm also not feeling too bad if we are beat...

how can u not say sets are easy for him to have...55 and 99 are so easy for him to have.also i would probly take a similar line with KJhh...

So you're advocating the Fold?Like I said, there are a ton of ways to lose this hand if we're inclined to look for the hands that beat us. I just don't think we're beat here.BB Flat calledCheckedBet PotCheck RaisedI just don't buy a set (boat) here. Maybe 55 because we gave him a free card and that is when he sort of woke up. KJ is certainly a possibility if he is clever enough to Check/Raise on the River when he hits a gutshot on a paried board.I still think we're good.

I don't know, QJhh is just about the only hand he could possibly play this way that we beat. When Hero doesn't CB on that flop, villain probably puts him on missed overcards - making it pretty risky for him to be check-raising the river Q with something like 77/88 when Hero bets out. Even check-raising with QJ is risky there. From villain's perspective, what hand would Hero play this way that would call the river check-raise and loses to QJ?This line really looks like KJhh.

I don't understand his check on the flop, bet on the turn then check/raise on the river. If he was slowplaying a 10 or a boat, it wouldn't explain his check/raise on the the river (unless he figured his turn bet followed by a check on the river would look ultra weak, which he could also do with AQ/KQ) instead of value betting.

I'm possibly giving villain credit for seeing our hand as "one pair" (technically 2 cause of the board) at best...and probably AK/AJ-high fairly often. I definitely do not think our hand appears to be what it actually is.On the one hand, villain's river c/r is quite gross...cause who in the world c/r bluffs the river? On the other hand, who even takes a line like this to c/r the river? I'd expect trips or a straight to just go ahead and bet the river (since they'd probably want a max of "two bets" to go in and not be faced with a shove). Therefore, this appears to be a boat (specifically QT), a bluff, or someone going for really thin value with like AQ/KQ.

Check behind on river if we believe our hand is one pair transparent? I don't know. I think this hand was butchered a little. I hear you on how and why you got there like you did, but our value with AA is front-loaded (more PF and on flop than on the turn or river.)I think as played to river, we have to check behind / check fold.The river check raise is pretty strong IMHO.

we only beat a suicide bluff more or less, but i think we have to call imo. given the sizing. im a sucker for odds thou and i see this being a monster a lot to be honest

so many places you misplayed the hand only preflop is ok.Bet the flop! As played river is easy fold, anytime you see stupid and strange lines, unless you're 100% sure they are FOS, fold all the time. this is never some guy thinking things through and going for a crazy bluff (no-one c/r river as a bluff at 50nl seriously), he just wants value I'm sure he has a ten or a boat here tbh.

i agree 100% a boat. why did cobalt check the flop? scared of reraise? or was it just AhQh. bet the flop, i'd like to find out where im at and if reraised by bb, i still call and see what he does on the turn , it cost less and i can still get away from the hand..i still have outs and maybe the best hand vs big suited conn . bb checks turn then i know where im at with AA and come out strong. as for the check raise on river...the only way i get value is to act weak and let cobalt bet the river with over pair or AhQh like was done.

My thoughts exactly.. bet pot on the flop and you'll take down a smallish pot with a dangerous board. If he has trips, you'll figure it out quickly. Pre-flop raise + pot on flop is pretty strong to bluff into..

I don't understand why checking this flop is bad. With the exception of QJ, we are either W/A or W/B aren't we?

Or J8 or 87, so I wouldn't call it WA/WB. I don't think I ever check this flop at the table, but now seeing it in a strat hand I think I agree with Cobalt's play. HU would be an entirely different matter.

In rush poker I don't think it's bad bc the tendency of players is to only continue with something close to the nuts when faced with aggression. I mean we're playing in about as much of a vacuum as possible so I think hitting the breaks on the flop and allowing worse hands to take the initiative is fine... as long as we're not planning to do anything silly like check-raise.Also you guys who want to fold really bad... please look at the pot and the size of the bet left to call... we're getting almost 3:1. You don't have to show the winner even 40% of the time here to profit.

Ha. Sorry...was occupied most of the past week.Yeah...the river's a smidge of a crying call, but his line was just so wonky. When lines get wonky, I tend to look them up.In this case, he had J7o for the busted draw.As for the debate on the flop...like I said, I think betting's quite fine. However, I think we're going to be in a really crappy spot if we get raised. I preferred going for two post-flop streets of value in this case.

I think you went pretty deep into the mind of this opponent unless you had info on him that he value owns himself and bluffs weakness at the river. FWIW, I can think of players that this line is EXTREMELY profitable against.

I like the hand until the river. Yeah, he's going to have some draws, but I don't think that most players are capable of ever c/r bluffing rivers and when they do, they make it a size that encourages you to fold more than this size does. I also don't think he'd ever c/r for value with worse than your hand, like AQ or something.I am sure I still pay him off because it's such a good price, but I think it's a mistake just due to the infrequency of river bluffs that people make.

*sigh* Yeah. Turned top set.Also relatively sure that I wouldn't have been interested in playing if I'd known you were an FCPer.
