    Default What should I do?

    The following is probably my worst aspect of poker. If I lead into the pot PF, after the flop, after the turn, and a guy JUST calls, I never know what to do on the river.

    PokerStars Game #1794892708: Tournament #8436672, Hold'em No Limit - Level XI (600/1200) - 2005/05/30 - 00:39:27 (ET)
    Table '8436672 5' Seat #3 is the button
    Seat 1: panth436 (17815 in chips)
    Seat 3: XPokerNutzX (5745 in chips)
    Seat 8: joe32543 (18257 in chips)
    Seat 9: Buadhachan (25683 in chips)
    panth436: posts the ante 75
    XPokerNutzX: posts the ante 75
    joe32543: posts the ante 75
    Buadhachan: posts the ante 75
    joe32543: posts small blind 600
    Buadhachan: posts big blind 1200
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to joe32543 [Qs 7s]
    panth436: folds
    XPokerNutzX: calls 1200
    joe32543: calls 600
    Buadhachan: checks
    *** FLOP *** [4d Ts 5h]
    joe32543: checks
    Buadhachan: checks
    XPokerNutzX: checks
    *** TURN *** [4d Ts 5h] [7d]
    joe32543: bets 2400
    Buadhachan: calls 2400
    XPokerNutzX: folds
    *** RIVER *** [4d Ts 5h 7d] [3c]

    Results in white(not pretty)

    joe32543: bets 1200
    Buadhachan: calls 1200
    *** SHOW DOWN ***
    joe32543: shows [Qs 7s] (a pair of Sevens)
    Buadhachan: mucks hand
    joe32543 collected 11100 from pot
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 11100 | Rake 0
    Board [4d Ts 5h 7d 3c]
    Seat 1: panth436 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 3: XPokerNutzX (button) folded on the Turn
    Seat 8: joe32543 (small blind) showed [Qs 7s] and won (11100) with a pair of Sevens
    Seat 9: Buadhachan (big blind) mucked [3s 2s]

    I have no idea why I bet what I bet. I figured if I checked, since he was CL, he'd try a big bluff, so I just thought I'd lead into him a little bit. I won, but I feel I played this horribly wrong.

    whats he calling a 3000 bet on the river with?

    sounds like you knew he had nothing, and you were right, though i'm not sure what the hell he's calling that river bet for. with that read, looks like you played it right, though i probly would have folded PF.

    edit: derrrrr. just checked.

    he's calling you with bottom pair on the river with no kicker at all? nice play.i hope you got more off him.

    Your turn bet is vulnerable to the reraise (I'd have probably made a small bet on the ragged flop to find out where I stood, though I make a lot of small flop bets).

    Your river bet is a reasonable defense against a bluff if you can laydown to a reraise, though it's not going to cause many people to laydown.

    THis is a fold or raise hand. I dont like the PF call. You got a short stack that LIMPED. HES GOT CRAP, usually. Raise it 6000 right now, or whatever has him covered. Thats a standard size PF riase too. 4-5 bb's. The BB will muck (since the buttonis now facing elimination, only AA or KK becomes really playble here) and I'm gonna guess, 85% of the time the button will fold too.

    4 handed is a NO LIMPING ZONE.

    Of course, if hes shown the ability to limp/raise with a powerhouse, gotta be careful .
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Luck is a Residue of Design.
