If The Wild player folds, I am happy with the pot here.<br /><br />On the turn a raise from 70 to 170 indicates strength and I would reraise without the nuts. A diamond on the river would have been nice, but, why commit a lot when we might be behind.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-8062879173017004632015-04-14T16:48:02.848-04:002015-04-14T16:48:02.848-04:00Bill, I respectfully disagree with some of your an...Bill, I respectfully disagree with some of your analysis. The straight draw, if it hits, is a lot more likely to get paid off because it is not as obvious or expected as the flush draw. As for the fact that he had the idiot end of the straight, based on the preflop action, I would not expect a player to be playing with 67. It can (and did) happen, but its not like he had 89 for the idiot end of aJordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831176156389777158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-61159395553914191072015-04-13T02:44:20.714-04:002015-04-13T02:44:20.714-04:00the hand played its self out. imo. 7 days till Apr...the hand played its self out. imo. 7 days till April 20th and Roscoe P Coltrane diedangerisagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945967112589502437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-14847444036574484252015-04-11T14:38:58.779-04:002015-04-11T14:38:58.779-04:00Agree completely with lightning.

I was just looking for a way if I could have played it better... Why don't you like c/ring the flop though? What I like about it is that even with the same results, I'm committing a lot less money on the turn regardless and have all the fold equity of a better gutter on the turn. Meh...

...I don't like check raising the flop at all. <br /><br />Having the wheel on the turn with the nut flush draw, I don't know how you can get away from this hand. It wasn't like there were four cards to the straight on the board and you then got stacked with the ass end of a straight. The hand was just a sucky cooler.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-12467716742783597852015-04-11T08:38:04.646-04:002015-04-11T08:38:04.646-04:00What?

You are depending on it for your life, but some recreational players play $1/2 with virtually no bankroll. Many buy ins are capped at $200, which makes it a lure for almost anyone.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-85127530182982547242015-04-10T21:46:36.380-04:002015-04-10T21:46:36.380-04:00The nut flush draw is Powerful...but the wheel dra...The nut flush draw is Powerful...but the wheel draw....not so much.<br /><br />Bottom line is it's the "ignorant" end of the straight....67 has you dead and even a single 6 or 7 can run you down.<br /><br />I think as played I would simply reraise flop and commit the chips there planning not to fold to a shove when you have some fold equity....if you get called you still have 33% billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295140486343314796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-65250856336587555092015-04-10T20:46:12.110-04:002015-04-10T20:46:12.110-04:00an $8-10k bankroll isnt enough to play $1-2 at ful...an $8-10k bankroll isnt enough to play $1-2 at full stacks let alone anything else. of course, for a rich guy with another job who knows?Tony Bigcharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505857211799064393noreply@blogger.com
