  1. I just got to the table, about my 3rd hand. zero info on villain. Would anyone ever play the turn different? And do you call on the river? I have 20k left and theres 15k in the pot. Notice backdoor clubs came on river also.

  2. ugh this sucks

    stndrd till the river and it looks like you can get away, i would. Theres nothing he can be bluffing with unless he turned like AT or like 22-77 into a bluff but it couldnt be because the turn raise is so small signifying that he wants a call. He's either got QTo, QTcc, or QJcc, and it doesnt look like anything else given the size of the turn raise. Do you think any other hand is possible really?

    I guess you folded too so WP
  3. I think i might check back turn just to control the pot, if he has QT which hes repping with his min raise, then the pot is small going to the river and we can call his small river bet and be ok with a gross hand and checking back underreps our hand and also lets him bluff the river with worse Ks and even like AJ, QJ, QQ, TT type of stuff or missed draws...we turn our hand into a bluff catcher by checking back but overrall i think it lets us play the hand with more control and more value over time
     
  4. def check back turn, as played, ez fold on da riv
     
  5. ugh..doubt you're good here from his line..I think I still fire turn also but I think you can fold river
  6. think i would check the turn it would be a tough spot if he check raises. And i would fold the river if i had no reads on him.

    check turn really wtf have i been doing wrong. How can this be more profitable then betting when were losing value from KQ,JQ,TJ,AJ,AQ and prob some other shit?
  8. ya im def never paying this off on the river

    blair whats your turn play and what's it based on?
  10. Wow im really surprised by the amount of people saying check behind here on the turn, the reason i say that is are you really willing to let a free A Q T fall on the river, i mean it is easy to say it might be the right play when the guy mini raises heros bet on the turn, but in a lot of cases your hand is best here and you should be trying to protect it and maximize value, as the hand played i think u have to puke fold the river, also i think a stronger bet on flop might be a good idea, metadonk
