Yes but what are the arguments for it. Elaborate.

With this board and the action as it stands, here's our thinking, if we:

A) Flat call the bet on the turn, then we can probably hope to get a CR in on the river, and maybe a cap, but we will probably lose the third guy in the process if he misses his boat or nut flush or whatever he's going for.

B) We CR this Turn. We have decided the pot is big enough that others will fight for it, so we might be able to get in a 3 way cap here. And maybe we might be able to get in another cap on the river.

It's really a matter of probability of what course of action you think will result on the largest pot for you (sorry, losing this in unconcievable, and since you did, you won't have to worry about this the rest of your life, lol). If these guys are passive, then being able to extract an extra bet on the river is probably the best route, but if they are more aggy, then opening it up now may be the most profitable.

flat calling on the turn wasn't the best of plays here.

It's fair enough that you have quads and are pretty certain you are unbeatable but still with a reraise and then a call on that raise you should have and could have pushed up the pot more.

If he had trip 9s he would've probably called you if you bet again on the turn anyway but lets say that in most cases he wouldn't of quadded on the river you may not have got a bet out of him then. Best to put your money in when you are pretty sure someone will call with a hand like that.

This is just one of the many many reasons why i hate limit

Except that I was hoping for exactly what Marm said, to bring both players into the river. I figured if someone bet and the other called, I could get them more committed to calling raises on the river. I am not sure I see how I could have possibly gotten anymore money into the pot.

it's limit, you bet and people will jst flat call you on river or whatever. If it was NL i would agree with that idea but it's limit and people will call bets as they are getting pot odds or are committed already or whatever

Apparently you have not played much micro limit hold em.


P.S. Dont get me wrong Pates, I understand your logic ok, it just doesnt really seem to work that way in microlimit games. People really dont start worrying about pot odds and such until higher up the chain.

P.P.S. I was also trying to pretend like I was not especially thrilled about my hand, and was glad to only have to pay one bet for it to see the river.
