RISEorFall 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 are you calling a river bet? Link to post Share on other sites
Pancake407 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 no, that's a check/fold Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Checking the river seems to be begging for a bluff but given 3 overs and the possible flush I'm not sure that c/f isn't the right idea. I want to say that b/f would be better but I hate that villain has refused to define his hand in any way. Link to post Share on other sites
Pancake407 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I dont see what he would call with on a river bet that I could beat. Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I dont see what he would call with on a river bet that I could beat.True but then I don't see what he would call with on that turn that you can beat.Actually I'm not really sure that I can see what he'd call with on that turn that wouldn't make me think he's a complete moron.I'd guess a pocket pair < J. Possibly < your 7s. I've seen lots of villains call down small pocket pairs HU. Link to post Share on other sites
Pancake407 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Villains VPIP, was probably around 70%, thats just a guess though. Seemed like he was in every pot. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 my gosh, how low do you go raising preflop from EP?77 your limit?I limp this 100% of the time.but not that that's best.if he's laggy sortawonder if c/f turn, c/c river is good?let him bluff or bet his K6.You save a bet on turn, as he bluffs less on this street, imo.And aren't getting raised off best handand get to SD for same pricejust ramblings, not sure Link to post Share on other sites

Pancake407 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I go as low as 77 usually, I thought it was standard to raise 7's up front. Where do you draw the line, 99? Ill start limping 7's and see how it works out for me, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 88 some games 99 most games just razzing you.I'm no expert on mid pairs.Have slight pos wr with them, but limping/raisng probably close and table dependent and other stuff Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I count 9 players which is a pretty full table.I'll raise 77 sometimes. I'm more likely to fold it than limp it though. When your table stats are like 19/10 it's extremely rare that you'll get the 4 limpers you need to play for set value. Link to post Share on other sites

psujohn 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah you get to steal some blinds and bluff/semi-bluff now and again. A table VPIP between 19 and 23 is fairly common on Party 1/2 - at least when you play on weekday mornings. I do leave tables on a semi-regular basis though when the VPIP is below 25. It's kinda sad when you find a 28/8 table and think it's juicy. Link to post Share on other sites

It's kinda sad when you find a 28/8 table and think it's juicy. I hear ya. Even at the .50/1, Party seems to be tighter than I remembered it. Maybe I'm just finding the wrong tables, but in general they end up being about mid to late 20s (at least when I usually play). Though you still find some of the tables where half of the players see the flop and none of them are good players. Those are glorious, of course. Link to post Share on other sites
Pancake407 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I live in Orlando, FL - I go out like 3 times a week to the Suncruz casino, they have a 5/10 game on weekends, it averages about 6 to a flop, about 4 or 5 after a PF raise..During the weekdays, its a little tighter, but postflop is still horrendous. Downswings are killer though, lot of suckouts, but your hands really get paid off huge when your on. Link to post Share on other sites
pokerkid 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have actually basically stopped playing on weekdays that's how annoyingly tight party .50/1 has gotten. Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm playing Omaha 8/b. The players are always bad...worse than me. And that's incredible. Link to post Share on other sites

devilsslide 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Without Reading Replies:PF: Okay, my SSHE says to call with 77 from early position. However, for whatever reason, I don’t mind the raise.Flop: I think I play the same.Turn: I think I’d tend to slow down, but I don’t know if that is right.River: Well, after seeing villain check behind, we know he didn’t have a flush draw and might have folded to a bet. However, without that info I think I play the same. Also, I don't think villian would have any reason to put us on a flush drawRead Replies:I think I'll continue to limp with 77. Also, I was wondering why the line for playing for set value with pocket pairs is 4 limpers? Aren't we like 7.5-1 to hit a set? Is this just an estimate based on implied odds, or is this a hard line? Thanx Link to post Share on other sites

Is this just an estimate based on implied odds, or is this a hard line? ThanxExactly. It's an estimate of how many to the flop we need to be pretty well assure we can make up the 7.5-1 that we need to draw to a set. It's not a hard line - if you know that a particular villain will ALWAYS see the river you can count him for 6 SB right there.This belongs in the "you know you're playing a fish" thread but I remember playing one guy who complained that someone cracked his big pocket pair when they flopped a set. He insisted that you were 22-1 to flop a set because it was "2 outs". Gotta hate those one card flops.Oh and kuddos on the "without reading replies" response. More of us should really do this.
