I kinda agree with your thinking. Anytime ...Hi PM,<br /><br />I kinda agree with your thinking. Anytime there is a check raise at CT in a 1/2 Game it is definitely better than a single pair. If he is only left with another 30 then it might be a no brainer to call the additional 30 to catch the 3 outer K. If he has more, then you might need to reevaluate your call on the turn. <br /><br />GolfPro<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-56387436378381414062013-05-02T13:10:43.138-04:002013-05-02T13:10:43.138-04:00I would agree for most normal circumstances, but I...I would agree for most normal circumstances, but I guess I didn't accurately describe the player: he's a fit or folder. I'm debating whether the $30 river bet was the wrong in the hand or calling off the extra $30 on the check/raise. I know I'm throwing money away with calling the c/r on the turn, but the good majority of his hands are folding that didn't match this board.<The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-66491410612556927222013-05-02T12:34:15.798-04:002013-05-02T12:34:15.798-04:00I posted a similar hand last week -- My AQ on a J3...I posted a similar hand last week -- My AQ on a J33 flop. I continued on the flop, caught a Q on the turn and bet it. Villain called the turn, and we check/check the river. You commented on the hand and said you were 50/50 to bet the river there (by which I assume you are betting the turn).<br /><br />Of course, different villain (mine was a donk). But, still, I tend to agree with Tag above --Pete P.

You just caught all his pairs except 3 combos of 33 and one combo of 77 - there are way more than 4 combos of hands you just caught. Furthermore, many players are paying you off with all those pairs since the pot is 90+ and they only have $60 behind.<br /><br />You don't check behind matt taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082969194551315973noreply@blogger.com
