A few tough spots... what to do? (new hands added)

Macspower

what would you do here....???

Villan is a good sophisticated player capable of good play and making moves... we have a history and in general we avoid each other at tables but there is an uber fish at this table and were both after him... he stacked fishboy twice hence his stack.... villan stats 24/18/2.5/2925

This is the exact ammount that I have left..

My move??

Just to give my thinking on the river.... while not happy with the flush hitting my intention was to check call the river and if he checks behind all the better.... but I'm pretty sure he is betting as my check showed my dislike for the flush and he's going to represent it anyway......

now that it's for the rest of my stack I'm not so sure I should call

Mac.

valor

i would just shove the river myself

sock.rocker*

call.. did he really call until the river to hit flush if hes a good player?

NeoSlicerZ

I'd shove the river, you had less than a PSB left. Call now.

Jam-Fly

I probs fold this. your beating nothing here bar a very good bluff.
5h fills every draw except 9T.
He could easily have Ax of hearts.
AQ, 77, 9T, you can beat these hands, but would he really play these hands like this?

Mac.

this doesn't make any sense.his turn calk tells you that either he has a hand that he thinks might be ahead of yours,or he has a flush.in both those situations he would never try to "represent" the flush,quite the opposite in fact.

if he is a solid regular the former is far more likely,so you should push the river.

Macspower

thanks for the comments guys... I'll post the results in a little while.... general consensus seems to be to push the river.....

Anyway here's another hand I had a tough decision to make...

I think I have to call as well as I don't think he could check to me with a big hand.... but with this guy he could do anything....

No I didn't see any bluffs shown but I have seen him push the river a few times into small pots of maybe 10bb's :eek:
He was never called.... This guy has all the moves.. the donk bet.... the continuation donk bet..... the min raise.... the river min raise with air. the preflop raise from 7 to 12..... the check to the river with AA...... min raise every street and call an all in with middle pair to the nuts.... and quite a few more that he must have invented himself.... As I write this he is up to over 1k after getting the miracle card a few times ( I'm going nowhere until he's busto)

Anyway the first hand played out as follows......

smells of AA to me with the min raise perflop??? call or fold?

Macspower

hand 3 i folded as i just had no idea what he was at.....

any ideas on hand 4 ?

eggie

Hand 3 looks like a flush draw, hand 4 is an easy fold, so little invested yet so much to lose.

phantom_lord

any info on the guy in 4? you're only really worried about one hand. hmmm. i think i'd call.


edit, actually no i wouldn't.

yeah he's real bad.. all the moves...... he's been min raising a lot ( this happens a lot on this site... but there is a min raise button..;) ) he did get it ai with AA a while ago and they held... he's been getting action on his big hands and he has made this move before but went uncalled...

pt stats are 55/30/3.2/75

NeoSlicerZ

I would probably call no.3, then again I'm a bit of a station in these situations.
No.4 is strange, without any previous reads I'd guess AA/KK but it's entirely possible the villan's an idiot and min raised with AcXc, to which you're in horrible shape. I'd ship it for ~80 BBs, but for 250BB, my inside gambler cringes.

valor

fold 3 and 4

why did u lead 4

I lead because I might have the chance of taking it there and then with my big draw... 15 outs twice . I planed to bet the turn again if called.... Am I wrong? Am I better off to check call here?

Mac

AKQJ10

i fold 3

hand 4 i fold as played aswell but i see myself check raising the flop and getting myself in trouble.

Macspower

being the station that I am I called hadn 4......

He had a suited A of clubs and was also on the FD.. turn and river were blanks and he took the pot....

Prob a bad call in hinsight as I didn't expect my outs to be limited
