What would you do here?

**Pok 7's** · 10-13-2005

The guy I'm playing sat down for and played 7 hands these are 7 and 8, he was calling just about any preflop raises, and alot of bets post flop, so that's about as much info as I had on him.

Sorry for the long post but I don't know if the way the the prior hand went would influence anyone's decision. I'll post the results after seeing what you guys would've done.

What happened on the first hand.. cause yeah, that willinfluence my decision. But I'm 60% calling, 40% raising here.

**Pok 7's** · 10-13-2005

For some reason Marm the Ace of diamonds dosen't want to show up so hopefully I edited it so it's easy for everyone to follow

**Marm** · 10-13-2005

But what did he play? I figure you won, but i kinda want to know what he had

**Jason75** · 10-13-2005

Only QJ beats me, and he wants to get into a raising war? Lots of hands he could have here. I think you push the value of this hand here, regardless of his previous play.

I'm all in. I'm Rick James, biatch.

**Pok 7's** · 10-14-2005

Well I called instead of reraising, and he has

I think you just put that in the "shit happens" category and move on. Always sucks when someone beats you when you have the cooler (is that how you spell that?) and he's got the nuts, but I think if you're going to call you've really got to raise all in to to push this hand for it's full value since you're already in so deep here (I mean, it's only one dollar more).

Personally, I would have raised on the turn a significant amount to find out where I was at. If he reraises I fold and it saves me some $, but if he calls then I'm going all in on the river when I hit the straight.

**Pok 7's** · 10-14-2005

I like the idea of raising on the turn although I think it'd be tough to lay down a reraise with TPGK and an OESD. But in theory would that have been the best play to get information then? Seems like the last few days have been alot of hands that were "he's only got me if he has "x" hand" and it's been turning out, he has it and I've been all in already or pushed

The reason I'd lay it down to a big reraise on the turn is this: What am I beating right now?

He raised before the flop, so I have to give him some credit for a hand. If he's betting his flush or straight draw, I'd just expect him to call. So if he makes a significant raise back, what logical cards could he have that I'm beating?

Ak-A8 - all have 2 pair or better kicker. AK & AQ a little less likely to be slow played on such a scary board, but some people will do it with AK/AQc.
KQ - would have folded (KQc would have just called)
Pocket T's, 9's, 8's - All have a set and I'm just leaning on my straight draw (another ace gives him a full house)
KK, QQ, JJ - would have bet out on the very scary flop, and would they really reraise me with an ace on the turn?
QJ - he's got the nuts

So really, what hand could he have reraised with on the turn that I'm beating? Just A2-A7. Easy fold if he reraises on the turn. If he bluffs me out, then bully for him (If you never get bluffed out, you're calling way too much).

Now, on the river, I've made the 2nd best hand possible, so I'm going to push it for full value.

Jason thanks for the advice :good: gotta start trying things like this at the table, and hopefully work all that out quick enough in the time I have. I have tightened my game up considerably, maybe I should lean towards being a little more aggressive on the hands I'm playing as well.
