A Little Postflop Fun

[darkrider88 0]

Fun hand from a few nights ago, played at local club. Table is generally loose and aggressive.Blinds $2.00-$5.005 handed-Hero is in BB, dealt Ah-7c offsuit-Folded to Button-Button limps ($400.00) ( Button is LAG player who is also a calling station) -SB($700.00) Raises $5 to $10 (decent player, somewhat LAG, but doesn't usually put big money in w/o a solid hand) -HERO($400.00) calls $5.00, Villian 1 calls $5.00Pot: $32.00Flop: As 7d 3c (gin!)Sb checks, HERO bets $15.00, button raises to $30.00, sb calls $30.00,HERO reraises $75.00 more (do you like it or not), button folds (??), sb Calls $75.00Pot: ($240.00)Turn: As 7d 3c (6d)Sb bets $50.00, Hero Calls 50.00 (huge mistake by me IMO, as soon as I said call I slapped myself, literally. I think it confused him.)Pot: ($340.00)River: As 7d 3c (6d) (Qd)Sb moves all in!Hero($250)....???

Raise the flop more, 3-4x the total raise from the LAG.Calling the turn sucks but you know it. So, you're absolutely screwed by this river. Villain took an odd line if he had AQ, but it beats you now. A set is possible. A straight unlikely. Heck, he could've make Aces and Sixes on the turn and thought they were good when you just called the bet. I think this is a fold.

I don't like the flop line very well. I think you should be betting more on the initial bet, something like $25, so it doesn't take two raises on the flop to get the money in. The turn's terrible, as you absolutely have to push here.You put yourself in a terrible position on the river with the turn call, but I think at this point you have to call it. Yeah, it looked like a blocker bet on the turn, but if you didn't believe he was drawing enough to raise, I certainly wouldn't fold the river getting 2:1. A-x of diamonds is the only really likely hand that I can see beating you at this point.

I think I made two mistakes; one on the flop, but the bigger one on the turn. The flop bet (which was half the pot) was supposed to look like a probing bet, and the smaller raise was so I would get an overcall (with such nice pot odds). The mistake on the turn is inexcusable. On the river I don't see how I could fold. 2-1 against a LAG, he could have a worse 2-pair, AK (maybe), or a pure bluff. I end up calling, and he shows A-9 for 1 pair(??). He even said after the hand if I raised more on the flop he was out of there, so my sucker bet worked out.Well I'll live and learn for next time, when I'm not so lucky

-SB($700.00) Raises $5 to $10 (decent player, somewhat LAG, but doesn't usually put big money in w/o a solid hand) -HERO($400.00) calls $5.00, Villian 1 calls $5.00...Sb moves all in!Hero($250)....???...I end up calling, and he shows A-9 for 1 pair

I think you might need to change your read on the SB...maybe, "sometimes doesn't put big money in w/o a solid hand but also quite possibly will put it all in with a hand that can't possibly be ahead". :)Good grief, what was he thinking here?

He had just gotten bluffed earlier, and was steaming a little bit.The hand completely shocked me.

I wonder if he read your turn reaction differently. Maybe he thought your flop raise was a bluff. So when you slapped yourself after calling on the turn, maybe he thought you meant to fold (when, in fact, you meant to raise). So, on the river he figures you are weak and just moves in.
