hey, i'm 9k. #3

[OMGITSOVER9K]

anything he checks back the turn with probably folds to another barrel bar AQ/sometimes KQ

naming random hands won't get you far in this conversation

edit: who says he's gonna bet the same as us? $13 is small into that pot, not noticeably but deffo less than most people would bet

 

[Ducky7]

Ye i understand that but why would he call that flop with AT of spades and check back turn?

 

[atlantafalcons0]

Because he's a terrible player trying to see the river for free. Who cares why. You are the one that wanted me to state a hand that a player (who could be bad) would check back the turn. I did that. Now I'd like you to explain why you think maybe seeing the river for free is a bad thing?

I'm not trying to argue with you guys, I'm just trying to learn why you feel like checking the turn is soooooo bad here? I'm not saying he'll bet more or less than $13. Obviously if he bets less than $13 we're calling right?

Based on his stats we know he isnt bad, i dont think seeing the river is bad for free it would be lovely, i just dont think its going to happen

 

[OMGITSOVER9K]

vs villain we have no stats but we're assuming that his range is capped since he flatted over 4betting vs our perceived strong range..

the flop is dry, so we have less value combos and even though the same is for him, he's IP so floating there is good.

x/c turn makes no sense for us because we have no SDE, no-one's checking back the turn here with anything except JJ/TT that fold to a turn barrel anyway.. and if they don't we have equity so meh.

x/c here should only be for value, and we don't have a value hand yet.

if he bets less that $13 we're calling agreed, but he never does.

not trying to argue, just don't see why imaginary villains having ATs here justifies us x/c turn to see free rivers.

tl;dr - we don't need to hit draws to win pots, fold equity is better vs regs/reggy players

Fair enough to both of you.

Thanks for the explanation.

Fwiw - I don't play these stakes so I'm sure you both have much more experience than I do. I'm trying to be the best player I can be. I like to post what I think I would do in these situations and then read the responses from more experienced players (at higher stakes) like the both of you.

Here to help

 

[Matt Vaughan]

Reason why turning hand face up is bad:
We don't get paid off the times when we do hit on the river, and if we have to call a bet we likely aren't getting the right immediate odds to call to try to hit a flush.

Reason why villain would never check back a value hand:
The board is wet, and he doesn't WANT to give free river cards.

Reason why villain would never check back a ATss:
If he floats the flop with a hand that has very little showdown value, it has to be for the purpose of taking the pot on the turn or river. Therefore he never checks back the turn with a hand he floats the flop with.

Reason checking the turn is bad for US:
- Villain never checks it back
- Our hand is face up
- If villain never checks it back and our hand is face up, then we still have to call a bet on the turn, and when we DO hit on the river we're not getting paid off, and when we DON'T hit on the river we have no fold equity and can't win the hand.

 

[pocketehs]

Yeah agree with everything thats been said. River shove sizing sucks so much cause I think it needs to be bigger to get more folds cause hes getting such a good price to call


If Im the villain OTT and hero checks Im betting with 100% of my range b/c hes essentially giving up or x/j. Dont think hero ever x/cs the turn..

dunno if our hand is face up to FD's when we x/c turns..

Nice personalized response lol.

Not specifically FD's but weak and/or drawing hands perhaps?

 

[OMGITSOVER9K]

nah, more likely JJ/TT if villain thinks I 3bet them for value vs his BTN range.

some Qx too.

edit: Arran I see you lurking

What better is folding the river? If you're going to spew I much prefer ch/c to shoving.

 

[OMGITSOVER9K]

87s hand is spew, I posted it because its spew.

Hack, this one might be a bit thin but villains at my limits never call off here..

vs this villain it wasn't as bad (imo) because he was nittier pre.. because of that I can pretty much narrow his range to AQ/JJ-88 (+blockers to his 'nut' range) tripling achieves the same as x/c jam river imo.

pretty sure to villain I have QQ+ and no villain takes this as a bluff since FD's and air barrel turns over x/c.

 

[hackmeplz]

You really think people are folding JT here?

 

[Matt Vaughan]

QQ+ would bet flop, x/c turn and donk-shove riv??

 

[OMGITSOVER9K]

when we talked about this before you lot said it was a valid line -.-

I said regs fold to that line/triples 90%+.

 

[JOEBOB69]

I don't like how the hand was played, from the turn on.
