Why is this a topic?


Ket    United Kingdom. May 07 2008 05:25. Posts 8665

because theres other interesting stuff to discuss in the hand than just an easy river decision

Thanks guys for the discussion.

Ket was right about the result (he had 22) and yea, I called river pretty much instantly. I posted this hand because I thought my line was kinda non-standard (at least for me) and I wanted to see what other players think about it and what would they put me on / what do they think villain can put me on. And I wasnt dissapointed, so thx

i get what youre saying and against different, more passive much less good opponenets who are incapable of strong thin value betting or turning hands into bluffs/running big bluffs id agree with you 101%

but against this opponent, judging from the description that he's a strong capable LAG that's good enough to be working for major training sites, i definitely don't think we're losing much value on the table by checking turn. I don't think he is close to guaranteed to pay off two streets with tens if we go bet-bet on turn/river. and yeah he won't always value-own himself for two bets either but by checking sometimes we not only give him the opportunity to follow through on flop-floats with plans to bluff but we also balance our range for checking the turn in this spot so in future he can't exploit us because we don't always have bluffs we gave up on when we check turn after checkraising flop. This is a very real and very important consideration when playing against strong players, because they are very capable of finding and hammering at weaknesses like these in balance of your overall game. So even if we do lose a small amount of value in a vacuum (and i think it is much smaller than you think it is), I still think checking this turn 1/3 of the time is much much better than checking never.



Ok, if we assume he is capable of thin vbetting where we could extract 2 more streets of value its very likely he calls 2 streets of value too as u mentioned.

The thing is that with this super dry turn it would be hard for him to continue a float, even if he does on turn after we call on that super dry board it would be very difficult for him to think he can push us off our hand after we CR flop and C/C turn, the board is so dry his range is so polarized induced many calls from marginal holdings and he knows that so a total bluff on turn and river seems a bit crazy... im not saying he cannot do it, im just saying that since we stack off the same hands that will vbet thin by betting its probably better to bet anyway.

Maybe for the purpouse of balancing our range but atleast personally i rarely CR small flop to then CF turn, its such a weak exploitable play in general so balancing that play isnt that important since we almost never do it (atleast shouldnt).

Im with Baal, bet your strong hands most of the time, if you think youre never bluffing on turn, this means that he must always be playing back so...

One very suspicious player

no. if they fold turn when u fire again they were peeling ridic light on the flop cause they thought u were fos and were trying to float to later bluff or improve.

If they were peeling flop cause they thought their hand was good and didnt respect ur c/r flop, the jack is a great card for them to see for most of their range cause they either improve or feel more confident in their second pair/pocket tens/etc.

i thought every good player knew that as a general rule of thumb, the worst cards to continue bluffing on are the ones that dont change the board (ofcourse there are exceptions to every rule). i feel like im having to explain some really basic stuff here.

i think i'm leveling myself, assuming people will figure that you can't continue bluffing on a card that changes nothing -.-

EASY check raise on the turn.: your range for check raising flop and check calling turn is extremely polarized to never having any bluffs.

FOLD PREFLOP, a good players range UTG should beat you blue.

Oh Vital[Myth]'s comment on call "its 6max" freaks me out... What stats does you have Vital, calling UTG w AJo in blinds!? Probably a huge gap between VPIP/PFR, that callinggap, big callgaps gets you into a load of problem. (Critique coming from me as 24.9/21.2 sience april 5-6handed)

When getting up vs good players at 10/20 etc you realise you cant fight OOP profitably easy. AJo vs UTG is at best like how 'Q7o is vs an random hand', and that guy is the agressor now also! Gooosh its a FOOOOOOLD preflop!

Btw, he probably has 22-77 or AJ. Enjoy your shitty situation

Hehe I hope to see u play this year in Vegas, I really wanna see if u really play the way u seem to from the comments I got to work on making people believe, but some, especially live, players, are too hardcore unbelievers...

rekrul is probably tighter than you preflop
but then he shits more than a goose with diarreah after the flop so who cares if hes tight pre

anyway the most important thing said in this thread is one small statement by ket. try and find it

"the worst cards to continue bluffing on are the ones that dont change the board"

!?

didn't bother reading all his posts

Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy 

Joe   Czech Republic. May 10 2008 12:40. Posts 5987

My guess is that Daut meant this:
"i think its -ev to try and play AJo out of position for 4bb against a tough aggressive regular raising utg."

given everything else in the hand this isnt really important but i dont think anyone said isnt the amount you c/r on the flop pretty awfully weak?
