KKK on Flop, extracting max value

    About ten hands into a 10 seat STT.
    Villian hasn't played a hand to showdown yet, he hung around in a previous hand intil river, calling bets the whole way and folded to a river push.

    This isnt the regular "getting involved with the wrong hand and in a tough spot on the river". For a while now i've felt that a big leak in my game has been not getting value from my top hands. I normally give villian too much credit for a strong hand, make a large bet and force them out.
    What would be an optimum line in this hand.

    Paddy Power Tourney 10/20 iPoker Converter from Talking-Poker

    saw flop|saw showdown

    6 (Button) daniello1 ($2370)
    7 scorpionmarchiss ($1460)
    8 moksteri ($1460)
    10 scholesy18 ($1460)
    1 Villian ($1280)
    2 aufzuckerter ($1480)
    3 cesarroma ($2750)
    4 Greenh ($1120)
    5 Hero ($1620)

    Preflop: Hero is in seat 5 with Kclub.gif Kheart.gif
    1 fold, Villian raises to 120, 3 folds, Hero calls 120, 1 fold, scorpionmarchiss calls 110, 1 fold.

    Flop (380) 6spade.gif Kspade.gif Jclub.gif
    scorpionmarchiss checks, Villian bets 80, Hero calls 80, 1 fold.

    Turn (540) 5heart.gif
    Villian bets 60, Hero ???

    [Edit] Actually, just gonna reply to asking what ya should do at the turn. You 100% have the stronger hand, raise him. He needs a river card to beat you..

    Care to take it a bit further than that

    Thank you for pointing out that I am holding the current nuts, I am aware of that,
    My question related to how to get max value, I am ahead of every hand now, i'd ship it if i knew I was getting called, but most likely a fold, i want chips, not pots


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 570 ✭✭✭BrandonBlock


    Well just ask yourself whats he waiting for, straight, flush, etc and how much hes willing to risk for it? You know the villian better than us :)

    I'd raise preflop, I'd raise the flop and i'm raising the turn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,901 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    To be honest, 95% of the time I raise throughout,
    but decided to slowplay for value for a change.
    Im not taking it slow anyfurther than the turn.

    Raise the turn, how much?

    I make it about 400. You dont want to mess around with small bets now.

    the call pre-flop looks fine to me,
    but i would have raised the flop 'deffo' with another guy to act after you and spades out there as well, maybe raise to 300..
    and raise the turn - put him all in.... <
    [if he called the 300 bet on flop]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭valor


    preflop is fine as a variation but your flat call on the flop is horrible for a few reasons - its not getting value, its keeping the pot very small when we want to be all in and its letting your opponents draw for almost free on a really drawy board

    as played, definitely pump the turn. Id make it 500 or so

    With those stacks I don't mind the call preflop. But you have to find a way to get the money in, so raise the flop. This will also make any flush-draws pay for their draw, as the 80 flop bet means they are effectively pricing themselves in (looks like a sort of blocking bet, although I doubt the flop leader knew that). Raise turn now and hope to get the money in.

    Edit: lol, almost exactly what valor said; I didn't copy him, I swear!

    I know i messed up the flop, I felt i got away with it,
    I raised the turn, about half the pot giving him 3/1, and he calls

    Rive was a 10d
    Villain bets 60

    would be so funny if he had AQ s..... :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,901 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    to be honest I didn't find it funny at all. ;)
    Actually, the river was 10 spades not diamonds,
    so i flat called the 60 and he turns over AsQd
    gut shot on the river,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭valor


    this should be a lesson to you in putting in more money on earlier streets
