.50/1 Hand

    I have been fairly active but have always shown down good hands. I outdraw two hand previous when a player called down PSB to river a flush on my top pair and I donkey called his serious overbet on the river.

    Then this hand came up. Before I go on, I know I shouldnt be limping in 6max if I m going to play a hand but what with my image and the fact I just got outdraw I thought I'd mix it up.


    Ok:

    .50/1 6max, ipoker

    barboevert is Button
    Asticco ( Villain) is SB €120
    Truffyman is BB
    Hero Is CO €78

    Hero is first to act. 75Hearts.

    I call.

    Button folds

    SB completes

    BB checks.

    Pot= €3

    Flop
    Ad7d2h

    Villain bets €4
    BB folds
    I call? ( comments )

    Turn 3h
    Pot €11

    Villain Bets €7

    Now, in hindsight I know I should have folded here. Mistake learnt from.

    I call.

    River is the Ah.

    My question is, his range is ace rag, busted diamond draw, and bigger sevens than mine, I cant seem him having air here. I have a feeling he has ace rag epecially after his weakish turn bet.


    So do I value bet now, check call? Check raise? I wasn't entirely sure what to do, if he had ace rag he could have just filled. If I raise is he calling with trips on that board or just with a house?

    EDIT TO INCLUDE STACKS

    your turn call is totally standard


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,039 ✭✭✭Theresalwaysone


    Is it standard because I am to assume people will second barrell? Or what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,434 ✭✭✭cardshark202


    Preflop: Horrible
    Flop: Very bad
    Turn: Ok
    River: cr. dunno how much, depends on stack sizes


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


    we have position, backdoor draw + might have the best hand

    we're in position on the river, no?

    what's up with all the talk of c/raising?

    if he checks bet obviously. stack sizes are pretty important if he bets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,039 ✭✭✭Theresalwaysone


    I know preflop was horrible. Im not disputing that. Flop wasn't too bad I think. I was folding the turn if my hand didn't improve and I felt I might be in the lead.

    Edit YES we are in position Tom, sorry, let me rephrase my question?


    Is there any point in raising the river given the way the hand was played or is he only calling with a house on that board?

    Yes, having hit a backdoor flush I raise here every time.

    EDIT: pot is 27 correct? Bet out for 20, fold to a shove.

    shove given stack sizes. it's very hard to put someone on a backdoor flush. he's gonna bet/call any ace.

    edit: the stack sizes are relevant here because when you shove he's getting great odds and is much more likely to call with worse than if you were like 150bb deep or whatever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,434 ✭✭✭cardshark202


    Oops didnt see you were in position, raise and call a shove I guess

    Don't see any problem with turn. If he bets river I shove. If he checks I bet about half pot and hope he calls with a 7, as I can't see why he would check an A.
    You are very likely to get called by any A on the river. You will be behind a fair % of the time to a boat, but his river calling range is trips > 50% of the time, so it's a raise.
    It gets tricky when you start the hand with 130 BBs or so, where if you raise river he can 3-bet AI and you're both committed and screwed! So with that stack I might prefer a call, with a deep stack it's not even close, raise. You have a perfectly sized stack to shove (why not 100BBs btw?).
    Just going on what I think a standard .5/1 player would call with, obviously some idea of whether he is very loose/tight would have helped! Really doubt it would change my opinion of river anyway, but it might change the flop. I usually would fold the flop, people don't tend to lead with a hand worse than yours
    I know I shouldnt be limping in 6max if I m going to play a hand
    Should go raise pre, cbet, check behind turn, raise AI river.

    Lets say villain bets 7 into me on the river?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,083 ✭✭✭RoundTower


    fold flop, definitely don't fold turn.

    If he bets 7 on river I probably make it 30 and call a shove, if I was observant enough to have any reads on my opponent I might shove, raise/fold, or just call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,700 ✭✭✭Van Dice

    Raise to 20, obviously call shove.
    If villain is donkey he will be happy to get it in with most aces. If villain is somehow very good, your line looks exactly like A6s/A5s, and it does not represent any hand that can beat something like AT other than a backdoored flush, but since the Ah hit, that doesn't make any sense either as the only other hand you could get there with is 7hxh which would be stoopid call on flop :)
    If you are beat here it happens, but I am definitely happy to get AI here on the river.

    Horrible, 75 hearts, its no good, pair on board, low flush cards, its call only, you cannot be serious saying raise here.

    MUTBS?

    id definitely raise the river, I usually wouldnt call a shove in a spot like this unless I had really priced myself in

    I think you missed the bit where we have top trips and he has J high or something.
