opie 0 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Call.You only lose to a full house. QJ is possible, but MP1 not likely to raise pre-flop with that. You lose to QQ, JJ, and if he raised with 88. Not as likely he raises with 55. I put him on a big pair and if it is QQ or JJ, so be it. There are lots of hands he could have that you beat (AA, KK, AK, AQ, AJ, 10-10), all more likely (in my opinion) than QJ and as likely as QQ and JJ.BB could have anything, but only a few hands beat you. He has bet every card, but never reraised, so I wouldn't worry about getting trapped by his reraise of your call. At the 1/2 game, he could have as little as an A8.So - what happened?

Rocketwadster 0 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max' date=' 9 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is CO with [Ts], [9d]. Hero posts a blind of $1. MP2 posts a blind of $1. MP3 posts a blind of $1. 2 folds, BB calls.Flop: (11.50 SB) [Jc], [8d], [5s] (5 players)BB bets, MP3 folds, Hero calls, Button folds, BB calls.Turn: (8.75 BB) [Qc] (3 players)BB bets, Hero calls, BB calls.River: (20.75 BB) [Jh] (3 players)BB betsLook at the possible hands that can beat us right now (I hope I do this right):Pocket q's (3 possible ways to have it)Pocket j's (3)pocket 8's (3) pocket 5's (3)Queen jack (6)Jack 8 (6 ways)Jack 5 (6 ways)30 possible hands beat us right now. We could usually discount the jack 8's and the jack 5's, but since we had some posters pre-deal, there is no guarantee they wouldn't call a raise pre-flop, so I think we need to leave them in. We have no reads either (first hand at table), so leave em in there.MP1 raised pre-flop. Usually, a raise would signify a hand like pocket aces, kings, queens, jacks, tens, nines (possibly), eights (stretching it, but you never know), ace-king, ace-queen, ace-jack (possibly), ace-ten (not likely). Of these, we are ahead of the aces, kings, tens, nines, ace-king, ace-queen, ace-jack, ace-ten. MP1 capped it after the turn, with queen, jack, 8, 5 showing. Would he cap a draw (ace-king)? Would he cap with anything less than two pair (possible holdings don't even yield a two-pair for MP1). This screams to me like a set (queens or jacks being most likely).BB called the pre-flop raise. Their holdings are harder to quantify, as they only had to put in one SB, and the pot already had 11 SB in it (from the posters who called the raise). Then, the BB led out after the flop, but only called the raise. Why would they lead out - because they most likely hit part of the flop. Just calling when raised though - either they hit a set and are trying to trap, or are scared of a set being out there themselves. Then, BB led out after the turn, which was capped. BB just called when we 3-bet it though, so I think that rules out pocket queens (would have been high set on the board). Called the cap though. River was a terrible card for our holdings, and fits into so many possible hands that can beat us. All this rambling probably doesn't mean shyte. Easy fold IMO. Can't see both of our opponents hoping their pocket aces/kings (maybe MP1) and two pair/3 of a kind (BB) are going to win this hand. 8) Link to post Share on other sites

KDawgCometh 2 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 honestly, I'd consider three betting the flop, you are getting 14-3 on your raise with 6 clean outs and two dirty ones. There is a chance that the BB will call two cold here too. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have to make the call as its very ahrd to say that he isn't ahead ~8% of the time there. HOnestly, from the looks of things it looks like MP1 is wayyyy overplaying AA here, he caps when the hero three bets out of nowhere, he raised PF, so we can rule out 109s, 55, and most likely 88(since only a good tag would open raise PF from MP1). So now the most likely hands are JJ, QQ, KK, AA, so really its almost 50/50 that he has one of those hands, but more likely to be holding KK or AA. so yes, I'm leaning towards a call on the river Link to post Share on other sites

Who is to say that if we call here the BB will only call also. We gonna fold to a raise/re-raise after we call? Now is the time to fold methinks - at least one of them has us beat. 8) Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'd love to know what BB had.I agree that mp1+1 seems to deperately be trying to protect his high PP...KK/AA.I'm guessing BB has 88 and is fine with mp+1 pushing the action.(after seeing results)wow. Link to post Share on other sites

Despite beating a bunch of donkeys for a huge pot, I am still not convinced that this is a call on the river without any reads...what happened after you called is exactly what I feared, it got capped, and you were almost forced to call another 2 cold. Nice hand though. 8) Link to post Share on other sites

YOu can't call a cap, but you can call two cold originally. We have to think about full odds instead of just the immeadite two when if we get it capped back to us. I don't think we can say that two people will have us beat 1 out of every 13 times on that river Link to post Share on other sites
