  1. c-bet flop obv

    since you didn't

    fold. you played the hand bad and really have no idea where you're at. why risk more chips.

    your only options are to shove or fold the turn here. if you flat it leaves you with less than 50% of your stack and a difficult decision on the river when he pushes.

    i'm guessing you shoved and he rolls over AJ and nails A on river?... maybe he nailed another J.

    EDIT: apparently everyone is saying not to cbet that flop however I 100% do, prob the same 800ish bet.... sure i might be giving them away but if i check behind and lets say a K hits... then what do i do. oh wait.
  2. Only possible reason to bet flop here is if he's folding some Ks (obv not) or calling with some Js or draws(more plausible).

    This shallow im checking back flop and also betting turn. When raised it becomes a tough spot. There's 0 point to shoving though unless we think he stacks off w a J or draw here.

    Either fold or flat and then call river bet.

    Choice is gonna be down to how you've seen him play strong made hands, bluffs and draws.
  3. Yes you should always bet flop with a way ahead way behind hand that has tons of value yet has trouble getting value from worse. WTF please stop giving horrid advice everyone in this forum. I check back the turn as well for the same reason as checking the flop. Then call river or value bet myself.

    ^^ yeah ^^
  5. Some interesting responses. I actually wish I had played the hand differently because of what one person said in this thread.

    Could use more clear responses as to how to proceed as played ie. fold, call or shove

    Interesting plot-twisting(maybe) results to follow once the bet is finalized

    appst-you never said how you would proceed as played (i know you are 100% betting flop) you can still count as a vote

  7. Just to confirm my vote is for calling turn raise and all rivers.
  8. in this spot I would unfortunately fold.

    OMG THIS. i think both options are fine. most of the time i do actually check behind here myself, but WHY ARE YOU BETTING THE TURN. ughh the reason to not bet the flop is the same on the turn. sigh. sorry that bet on the turn just really tilts me

    Folded me on the button with QQ stack of 4340.

    TURN K (board KJ7K rainbow)
    sb checks
    i bet 800
    sb raises to 1800
    me?......

    been some debate on what is the best play here, would like input to settle debate and possible wager. please answer with a fold, call, or shove and go on to explain if you wish. ty.

    W/O reads I fold. His raise sizing makes me wonder what we can beat here. Such a small raise is usually done for value and wants to be shoved over. Meh... kinda tough spot.

    such a small raise is because of his stack size
     
  16. Call. Call River too.
  17. My thinking during the hand....

    I check behind on turn because getting check raised would suck, getting flatted would suck, and taking down a small pot would be meh.

    I bet the turn to get value from Jx hands 8s, 9s and Ts, maybe 7x and maybe smaller pairs. When I was check raised, I felt that the bet size was small so the villian could get away if I shoved. If I was to call I would have less than 2k and the pot would have 5k in it. It would seem to the villian that I either had to fold or shove over his checkraise. This thinking allowed me to add a huge amount of non king hands to his range. the only other hands that beat me are 77, JJ and AA all hands that are likely to 3bet me preflop (including a lot of strong King hands).

    I elected to shove. What a few people in this thread have said make me think that flatting with the intention of getting it all-in on the river is a better option to pick off bluffs. While I still think that is a great move, I don't think many bluffs are going to pay me off on the river considering the odds I'd be getting, I would have had to had some kind of hand in there eyes to call the turn checkraise. I think that I would get paid off by more hands that I am beating by just shoving the turn and giving somebody good odds on a marginal hand with a small chance to improve on the river.

    FWIW given stack sizes and situation I think betting the flop is a bad idea.

    to gain info and take down the pot, if he flats, there is a certain range you can put him on and you can play accordingly, i just DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO CHECK THIS FLOP, your only reason is b/c there is a King on board. which is horrid

    you shouldn't be betting for information....maaaajor leak

    lol

    lol at your lol and lol at betting for "information", if you want information ring newman and join the postal service

    my "info" was taking the wrong way, like i said in previous quote, just c-bet the damn flop and take it down

    ' no, do not bet the flop, especially not in a turbo live sng, and lol@betting for information plz stop giving advice imo

    info was misunderstood i retract that statement and agree it was wrong to say, but not betting flop is bad imo. against a big stack that flatted the bb from a button raise. whatever gl to everyone, gl in your satty's to wsop, gl in mtt's, cash, sng's, whatever you play, this is absurd.

    you have 4400 chips at 100/200. after raising pre, you are going to bet/fold 1/4 of your stack off "for informaton"? no sir, your advice is absurd. keep the pot small when you do not know where you are at, cbetting 1/4 of your stack and then folding later on in the hand is lolable. if we were deeper, the hand would play different.

    i didn't mean bet for info, im sorry, i just said i retract that and that was wrong. Jam pre if your folding/checking down on a king high board. dude your a thinkin player and i respect your opinion, i may not be as successful as you, but i am successful at this game and I just believe we both play this hand complete opposite from eachother. gl in the future ,all the success to u.

    there is no "opposite" way of playing this hand. sorry to be blunt, but you are wrong, and i am right. however i am not opposed to just open bombing the button.
     
  21. "against a big stack"

    they are only 21 BB eff. doesn't matter that the other guy has a big stack imo.

    i completely fkd this thread and didn't mean "info" the way people thought i did, ditr.. is correct, but like i said I just jam pre if we are folding on a king high board.

    and "against a big stack" was meant how light he was calling in the bb, not effective stacks, whatever can't believe this thread came up again.

    I apologize and bow down to you greater minds.

    I SHOVE PREFLOP...that's my advice, take it or leave it.
