I know you're not supposed to fold with any kind of hand in a huge pot, but if there was ever a case where you should I'd say this was it.It'd be tough to put MP3 on a 7 with the flop action, unless he has exactly 78c, or maybe 79c or 73c.CO is the same, I think he has a T here, and unless it's T7, you're ahead of him.Given that, I like the bet out on the river, and I like the overcall. You're behind a ton here, sure, but you're definitely ahead more than 1 in 18.25 times, which is all you need to be to call here. Link to post Share on other sites
SCS 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I can't figure out what MP3 or CO has here given the action throughout the hand. A 7 . A 8 , two pair, a straight maybe.I think you have to call on the river.I play the hand the same way. Link to post Share on other sites
RISEorFall 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 can we raise the river for value? we have to have CO beat.i have no idea what the hell MP3 would have that caps that flop then makes a straight on the river, except for a flopped straight, and i think theyd raise the turn.

I would be more likely to do it HU than 3 handed though. Link to post Share on other sites

antistuff 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 you have co beat 100% of the time here, he has ace ten or jacks or something like that. so your only concern is what does mp3 cap the flop with that he doesn't raise your turn bet with? ide be damn tempted to take it to three.-------leading this flop is mandatory due to your relative position with the preflop raiser. i hope you weren't planning on checkraising that flop, right??

RISEorFall 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 how often do we have to be ahead of MP3 to make 3-betting the river good since CO is coming along? 1 in 2 times? 1 in 3? i hate math... Link to post Share on other sites

TJ_Eckleburg 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Without reading replies...I prefer bet/3-betting to check/raising this flop. Out of position, with the preflop raiser last to act, and on a somewhat draw-y board, I don't think the deception value of check/raising for small bets can make to the pot you might be able to build with a flop lead and a bunch of loose callers between you and the raiser. The check/raise over 2 bets screams "monster" and your hand has a better chance of being underestimated for some junk 2-pair for a bet/3-bet.Like the turn lead... that is probably a bad card but we still have to lead. 10 outs to fill up even if we're behind.The river lead is standard as well. When I'm raised on the end, I figure I'm about to be shown a straight, but you still have to call down. Link to post Share on other sites
