JSHamm 9 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Basically you raised, he called, flop came low, he put you on overcards (correctly at that), you gave him a free card on the turn, and he caught. Link to post Share on other sites
Emptyeye 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Clearly he feared you raised preflop with...43...or...63....Yeah, I got nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Basically you raised, he called, flop came flow, he put you on overcards (correctly at that), you gave him a free card on the turn, and he caught.I think the question would be why didn't he bet with the nut flush?It was pretty obvious that nobody had a full house. Why give away money by checking? Link to post Share on other sites

macphec 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think he's wondering why the nut flush didnt bet on the endBoard paired and he didnt want a big reraise in his face is my guess Link to post Share on other sites

Why give away money by checking?This is pretty much it.. in big bet/deep stack/Pot Limit tournies, some experts advocate not betting here, in limited circumstances, as its assumed that only a complete imbocile will call with a K or J of clubs, and they dont want to open themselves up to a raise that might be for their stack. Obviously this isn't applicable to tiny $20 buyin tournies like this one, but maybe the hero mis-applied that line of thinking to this situation. As a guess as to what he was thinking, I guess that is as good a guess as any. Link to post Share on other sites
ForRealDD 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I see it as a very wise check behind. There is quite a bit in that pot and no real reason to bet for value. If he bets and gets check-raised all in, he is in a pickle. Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Tye 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 O.K. someone help me with my game on this one. Without a doubt I am value betting the River with the Kc in this h/u situation. Obviously that did not happen here and it worked out in the op favor, but do you really think that is the best play?When the villian also checks the turn, that is a pretty weak play, especially with the Ac. Lord knows if I had a redraw to the Ac (nut flush) and position I would bet this if it was checked to me and try to take the pot down there. I don't think anyone can really explain not value betting the nut flush on the river. The hand started H/U and it would be quite hard to put the other person on a full house here, and if they have it, I say great, pay them off and move on to the next tournament.The play on both sides just seems much too weak to me.

dunkirk 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think the play is too weak on both parts. The only way I can explain not betting the nut flush is that he didn't know he had it. The only hand that the OP should have that beats him is wired 3s, but it seems -EV to pass on the nut flush value bet because of the remote chance of quads.An interesting follow-up, if OP bets 500 at the river and wally raises him all-in can OP lay-down the K-high flush?

auspex 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 He probably just didn't notice he had a flush.. he was thinking ok I have Ace high lets check and see if it is good. Link to post Share on other sites
dunkirk 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 knght311 is right, he could have 66 or 44. I'm still betting the K-high or the A-high flush at the river. If OP goes all-in at the river does Wally call? I do -- what do you think? Link to post Share on other sites
clingfree 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I don't know how you can't make a play for that pot with K high flush.I put out a 1/3 to 1/2 pot bet there. If he raises, I fold. Given his check on the turn tho, there is reason to believe he might fold in that spot. I also don't understand why you don't take a shot at the turn. IMO most people fall short with bluffs and semi bluffs because they tighten up rather than fire away. I think Wally folds the turn to a decent bet. Link to post Share on other sites
