  1. Okay in this hand what do you put cashtorg on? What do you guys think of his turn bet is my biggest question? And what kind of hand do I need to call/shove the turn over his turn bet?

    So..
    1) What do you think cashtorg has?
    2) What do you think of his turn bet? What comes to mind when you see this..
    3) What do I need to call/shove on his bet on turn?

  2. i think either a set or QQ-AA when i see the turn bet

    im a moron though
  3. I find this line to be the nuts like 94.7% of the time, and fortunately the morons that take this line with the nuts don't take it with anything else and its extremely easy to avoid. There is absolutely no chance that cashtorg doesn't get it t in pre with JJ+ given his ridiculously lagtardish style so to be completely 100% honest I think his range is 77 and 22 only.

    I think I need 77 or JJ to raise this turn bet (of the hands in your reasonable range), but to avoid becoming ridiculously exploitable I think I call one turn bet with AJ+ maybe 88+ just in case what i said above is wrong and he is taking some extremely awkward value line with JT-KJ. There really isn't any value raising the turn here without JJ or 77 imo. To be completely honest a fold is probably correct without 77 or JJ, which if correct is kinda embarrassing for cashtorg given how transparent his line is.

    I've seen players check/call flop and lead turn small as a sort of semibluff / see a cheap river with a draw of some sort, but with the significant sized bet on the J742 absolutely no drawS rainbow board this is impossible, and makes it even more likely that cashtorg has a huge hand.

    Watch after ripping on cashtorg he probably showed like 89s.
  4. did you ever know that you're my herooooooooo??

    you're everything i would want to beeeeeeeeee
  5. Considering there no reads given very tough to assign hand range here. Its a pretty dry board so imo his lead is either a marginal hand or air. I dont think he leads a set here because there is not much he will get action from. I can see him leading out marginal hands to see where he is at and to possibly take control of the hand, so if raised he will probaly fold. Hands id include in his range would be AJ, KJ, QJ, JT, TT, 99, 88, A7, 97, 87 (though 7x hands arent as likely).

    I would also put air in his range as his lead can get you to fold hands you would open with that could possibly be good here such as TT, 99, 88, AK, AQ, QJ, JT, J9.

    The worst hands im calling here with are QJ, TT, 99 and then reevaluating on the river

    I would also just call with stronger hands such as AJ, QQ, KK, AA, a set, because i think as played you will get more value on river then by raising the turn.

    If i think he is capable of leading air here, or i think he can get off a marginal hand then i will bluff raise here, preferebly with overcards or some outs.

    again hard to tell without reads hope this helps

    Edit: After seeing SC's post id like to delete this lol
  6. I can't ever in a million years seeing Cashtorg having complete air. The likelyhood of him check-calling a J72 flop and leading turn as a bluff line rather than just c/r the flop is extremely low IMO.

    However the more I think about the hand the less confident I am in my original analysis. Cashtorg is very likely calling pre with 97s 87s KJs and QJs and I don't really know the line he takes postflop. I'd be surprised if he has these hands but I really have no idea whether he would c/r get it all-in with these hands, or if he would check them twice, or take this awkward line in the hand posted.

    I still think if I had to guess 77 and 22 are the only two hands he plays this way, but I'm definitely less confident the more I think about it.
  7. When you get enough answers can you show us what your cards are before posting the entire hh plz?
  8. i disagree with u scott i think its a bluff
    12
  9. 89s imo
    12
  10. I agree with Lil, floatation IMO and open turn stab to take err down.
     
  11. Actually.... it looks like his turn bet is just above half the pot, I would expect him to lead out more if this were a bluff.

    That turn card could be sick. 22, 44, 77
     
  12. Cre8ive,

    I was at the table and know the results, so I can't really comment w/ out ruining the hand for everyone. I will say that based on his playing style/my read of him, I would have found it hard to get away from any sort of strong hand on that board. I'm just glad I was short enough at that point and enough of a nit that I didn't get involved with QJ.

    On a side note, I'd love to know what you had on that hand where you shoved on the flop vs me when I had opened from mp and you called on the button, and the bb called. BB led 9 high/2 club flop weakly, I raised, you shoved.

    Anyway, gg.
     
  13. i also think this looks like a bluff, why would he lead out with a strong hand?...there's no draw to guard...222 and 777 just arent vulnerable in that spot, he checks the turn with those hands guaranteed. he raises the flop with AJ KJ ect. this is a bluff imo

  14. Fill us in on what happened PMJ.
  15. I guess it's been a while since the original post, so ok:

    Hero - QQ
    Villain - 77 (good call SCT)

    I can't remember the action on the turn exactly (whether cre8ive shoved or made a smaller re-r and got shoved on), but they got it all in and the set of 7s held.
     
  16. results plz
  17. is 44 out of his range here?? considering such a raggy flop. I find cashtorg to float a flop and bet when he hits a card. i'm not sure 22 and 77 bet this turn card since the 4 just doesn't help any real draws, i think he may check call to extract value if he has 22 or 77. I can't see him bluffing this turn when this card obv doesn't help anyone (or so we think). But then again....i'm only learning lvl 2 thinking and haven't advanced yet
     
  18. knowing how aggro. cre8ive is, I don't think leading in on the turn is that ridiculous.

    If cre8ive has a hand like AK or AQ he is probably checking behind on the turn if cash checks. However, when cash leads if cre8ive has anything like A-J, K-J, QQ-AA, he's going to re-raise all-in and cash should be able to collect cre8ive's chips.

    I think maybe 1% of the time this is a bluff
     
  19. The thing that scares me is the check/call on the flop and then the lead on the turn. What kind of hands do people do this with? I'm sure at the higher buy-ins, with more levels of thinking, this could be more common, but I only see this done in the lower/mid levels with monster hands.
  20. gg

  21. i reckon its a bluff that boards so dry i reckon hed check set there
  22. I really wanted more discussion on this hand before the results were posted (As I was sleeping and PMJackson killed the thread lol) but heres the hand history. I would of liked to know what you guys did in my position with my given hand, QQ.

    I also thought what SCTrojans thought. I thought at first how could he be making this play without a set, but then after thinking more about it, I agree with GhettoFab/Lil in the aspect that him firing the turn 40k into a 60k pot nutted is pretty stupid. He only gets action from huge hands and there is a great probability I dont have a huge hand here. (Me raising in late position and cont. betting a dry flop) So it was definitely hard for me to get away with this hand given cash's image and everything else. I really didnt want the results posted until we discussed it a little more because id just like to know everyones insight into the turn bet and then given my hand QQ, would of been the next step in the thread.

    Oh well. Any other comments I would greatly appreciate it.

  23. Hard to post anything after SC. Wow, talk about reading someones soul.

    Not knowing the guy as well, AJ, KJ could be in the range of his calling your C bet and leading. If you always C bet after your raises he can float and lead the turn if you have AK, AQ and missed over even 10-10 with J as scare card, then you have to release to his turn bet.

    I think I go broke here most of the time.

    If you fold to his bet on turn you still have 130K, more than 2 other players at the table and probably seeing significant increase in money for the next 2 spots? Tough to do on this board though. We played by cashtorg to not raise on flop and give away strength of his hand right away.

    Cre8ive, how long did you think about it before the shove.
  24. I don't know, I can't speak for Cre8ive, but the way cashtorg played it makes it more likely that Cre8ive can get away from the hand. If cashtorg c/r's the flop, then I think it would have been a lot easier for Cre8ive to commit his chips. The way cashtorg did play it (like SCT pointed out), is the way you see some players play sets OOP - the problem is determining whether or not cashtorg is one of those players.
     
  25. Well, the 100r plays out differently than most tournaments, as most of the players are very aggressive and I think given this hand and the situation, almost any player in the 100r is going to go broke here. I could be mistaken on that statement but thats just what I believe. I definitely was worried about his cold call from the small blind but I had been playing at the same table with him in the 1k last night and knew he was pretty aggressive. I think I might of checked behind on the turn if he checked to me, I almost checked the flop as well, but I think given the tournament, the player, and the aggression level of the 100r its too tough of a hand to just fold. Overtime I will be losing money if I fold in that spot so I think it was just unlucky.

    I didnt think too long before I shoved. There are a lot of hands in his range here I beat:
    AJ, KJ, QJ, JT, J9, J8 (maybe if they are suited the last 3) 99 TT 88, and any bluffing hand.

    Then hands that beat me are obviously, KK, AA, JJ, 77, 22 and 44. So it seems like I can beat more of the hands he might have rather than hands that beat me, which is why I ended up shoving.

    Oh, and the pay money jump has no significance. I am playing to win. I definitely felt like the turn bet was strong, but I just couldnt see him firing a turn bet with a set and limiting the hands I PAY HIM OFF WITH. I thought he would definitely check a set again and hope I would fire. I really think his turn bet is bad. <<< I'd like to know if other people think this is true as well.

  26. I'd believe this line much much more if there were any possible draws at all on this flop. I see absolutely no advantage to c/c flop lead turn than to c/r flop with complete air (which are the only bluffs possible).

    cashtorg could also easily have 44, in retrospect.

    I just don't see cashtorg c/c flop with a bad gutshot like T9 (which happens to be the best draw on this flop lol) or worse... I think hes perfectly capable of c/f these hands and I think if he was to try to win this pot with 4 outs or less he would just c/r the flop.

    I'm also not a fan of the turn raise. I like call turn call river a lot more. I just really can't believe this line for value with a hand you beat ever, and there are literally 0 draws.
  27. i think set is possible as is 7x, 89, some jacks and possibly air, as well as kk, aa maybe. i take this line wiht a variety of hands, depending on the guy i'd ship wiith a diff. variety. don't know enoubh about cashtorg to know what line i'd take.

  28. Just a question, be great from feedback from sct or cre8, if you guys say he is aggro, wouldnt a slightly bigger flop bet define his call and turn bet better?? (not meaning that is right) Just wondering since the flop bet is barely over half the pot if that gave an aggro, who has a bigger stack, go for a semi-bluff on a half pot sized turn bet and if you called you would be commited to the pot but giving him room for a fold. Not saying huge, but maybe 21-22k range. Just wondering since this is the 100r and you are deep stacked how you see a flop bet with qq on this board with this type of player in position to define things a little better. All the feed back on this hand has been great to read.
  29. SC, are you saying that when the hero bets the flop and gets called he should be giving up on the hand, after the lead on the turn...

    Also OP talked about hand ranges...is this guy so vietcongish that he would actually flat with KJ QJ OOP??
  30. I think his turn bet maximizes value when you have a big hand here. If he checks and you check behind then he leads river i think his hand becomes a little more obvious and its harder to get paid off. Same if he checks you bet turn and he raises, you prob fold, if he just calls then you prob check fold river. I could be wrong but leading turn seems to get all the money in more often then any other line.
