Flush On The Turn - Check - Check


Recommended Posts

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!!!

The A9s call preflop vs villains stack size is probably bad. Getting max value is tough out of position and you're in a reverse implied odds spot when you flop an A vs him imoAs for the hand, it's really pretty standardI'd bet the turn a lot unless you know villain will double barrel with some frequency, because the river can kill our action with a heart and he's got a pot sized bet left on the turn. I'd bet like $200 and then put the last $250 in on the river, but vs a 65bb stack and the nuts on the turn with one PSB there isn't much to talk about. He should prob stick it in on the turn as well as he should assume there is some value/protection to be had from drawsnice hand

I agree with KJ...A9s is not a call here. If the button is super fishy and your 150+ BB deep then it probably becomes callable. As far as checking the turn goes I dont like it. Not because of the risk of getting caught by a set, but because of the risk of a scare card on the river killing your market.Check raising the flop has a lot of merit. Any raise is pot commiting, so youre really check shoving 600 to win 740, needing 44% to break even. If Aces are winners you're there on hot and cold equity at basically a coin flip, and maybe you have a little fold equity. If aces arent winners then youve got no fold equity and only 30-35% hot and cold., but there are a lot more hands in his range where Aces are winners for you.

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

If hes going to fold to a turn bet hes going to fold to a river bet also. You have no reason to slow play here against a competent player.

Can't you read? HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT!
This made me laugh.Bienvenidos, nroatta. Gracias por la historia de la mano.Cuando tu publicas, por favor no incluye los resultados finales hasta el fin de la discusion.Como los otros dijeron, no ve pre-flop porque los tamaños del monton de las fichas. Tu oponente no tiene bastante para ir provechosamente.
