1/2 nl call the river raise or push?


Recommended Posts

1/2 NLHE with a max. buy-in of $100. This is a live game 9 handed. I've played with LP a lot. He loves to play draws and plays super fast with them. He is capable of a slow play and will sometimes limp with big pairs. When he wins he wins big but when he loses he also loses big. First time playing with MP but he seems a little new to the game.

I might have let LP catch a card to beat me and since I've been playing so passively, I'm having a hard time deciding if LP would think a 10 high straight was good in this situation. Is this a spot to just call or do you go ahead and push?

(shrug) If you're gonna play the hand this slow....I'm probably popping off on the turn. Call the river raise. You're probably against k8 or a8. Might be eights full or 9's full. 89 seems like the most likely boat hand.Ice

i dont understand the min. raise on the riverwhy make such a small move? if you're gonna check-raise at this point, check-raise hard. the guy already made two bets at this point, and he'd likely call w/ a set or straight. but since you gave him a chance to re-raise, you can only call now.
