oh man that sucks he should have folded. lol

[eejit101]

But your assuming without the ending i should fold the river??

Im not bothered about the end of the hand, but about the river decision.

I honetly thought he was betting JJ or something.


FYI - i am KickItAmish

[thenutzaa1]

ok I min raise with aq suited here only becuase he has chips to work with. You got no info preflop b/c you 4.5 bet and that's enough for the person to smooth call with AA. So if he has AA to a min raise, he reraises and then you get your info... let me check and see

[thenutzaa1]

Bad hand with A8..... LOL I don't know donkeys make it that far..... He was going anywhere preflop, flop folding was your only option

[freeringo]

Go to next Tournament and play it the same way.
Quit over analyzing.
Go with your gut and you will do better.

After playing that same hand a 1000 times you win more than 60%.
What more can you ask for.

So guys, whoa are up for the game today?
Just woke up...
Im computer wacht was wrong 2 yours yestarday.
Hey, how should i invest (spend) my 5 bucks I got at carbon?

[klinkman]

I'm tempted to c-bet the flop, but checking through is ok too. I'd bet the turn though for sure. On his river bet, the way you played it, I'm not sure you have any other move other than call. That river improves so few hands, unless you had some sick read that your hand was no good on the turn you have to think it's good here. But betting the turn gives you so much information. I think that's key here.

[eejit101]

I disagree, checking the turn induces river bluffs from him on most cards, which this could have been. If i bet the turn and he raises. Am i folding AQ? if he calls am i check callin the river?

[eejit101]

What happens if the river is a 7 or less card and he bets the same

What hands do you beat if he check-raises the turn? Any check-raise there seems likely to be a set. If you think checking the turn induces a river bluff, then you call, muck quietly, and this isn't an interesting hand then is it? You and I both know that there is exactly 1 hand that you had beat on the turn that now beats you on that river- KK. And him having that would require him limp-calling with it, which I suppose he could do but thats pretty fishy to me. As far as I'm concerned that river is a blank. A river below a 7 would be more scary to me, as if he had some low suited jank he might have made 2 pair or a straight.

[klinkman]

As far as the river if he calls, you are in position are you not? I'd check through if he calls then checks, if he calls then bets out I think he's on a draw, so I'd call on that river and think about one that completes a straight or flush.

Good thoughts.

I felt a missed draw or some kind of JJ hand to be honest.

welloking at it now he wasnt gonna fold no matter what. he probably put u on AQ or AK and he hit 8 then got the A on turn so no matter what he wasnt leaving. it was just a bad play by him to call but maybe u should have raised a bit more preflop to get him off that hand. well lesson learned. i know its happened to me. lol

[eejit101]

5x is enough there, i wanted him in the hand if he had A8.

Plus if i bet differently there preflop, too low and he is calling with anything. Too high and he folds or pushes and im commited if he does. That range i raised was right IMO for the hand.

I jut got outplayed ont he river.
