    Default More lost value here?

    Sorry - the neildewhurst converter is not working correctly at the moment - at least not on this hand.

    Villain is 38/9/1.67 but only after 20 or so hands, so basically a loose semi-passive (postflop) unknown.

    Texas Hold'em $0.25-$0.50 NL (Real Money)

    Seat 1: KPro666 ($45.45 in chips)
    Seat 2: D.A.G ($13 in chips)
    Seat 3: wowkhansen ($55.10 in chips)
    Seat 4: Tangfastics ($75.25 in chips)
    Seat 5: _TheHorror_ ($48.50 in chips)
    Seat 6: Dt.VicMackey ($58.20 in chips)
    Seat 7: thagrinder82 ($31.25 in chips)
    Seat 8: KARPPI37 ($45.50 in chips)
    Seat 9: PokerPuzzle ($56.75 in chips)
    Seat 10: zykjwb2007 ($11.50 in chips)

    _TheHorror_ is in the SB with A A

    ANTES/BLINDS
    _TheHorror_ posts blind ($0.25), thagrinder82 posts blind ($0.50).

    PRE-FLOP
    3 folds, KPro666 calls $0.50, D.A.G folds, wowkhansen calls $0.50, Tangfastics calls $0.50, _TheHorror_ bets $3, 2 folds, wowkhansen calls $2.75, Tangfastics folds.

    Pot: $8.25
    FLOP [board cards K,9,T ]
    _TheHorror_ bets $5, wowkhansen bets $10, _TheHorror_ calls $5.

    The board shows a straight plus a flush draw and lots of pair + gutshot possibilities. His minraise I don't think is a draw here, though it certainly could be. For whatever reason I'm guessing he has a two-pair hand here.

    Pot: $28.25
    TURN [board cards K,9,T,3 ]
    _TheHorror_ checks, wowkhansen bets $6, _TheHorror_ calls $6.

    I check to attempt to guage his hand strength...does he has a set, straight, just top pair or 2-pair? His bet indicates that his hand is not all that strong. Maybe bottom 2-pair or just top pair KQ/KJ?
    Should I raise here? If he has 2-pair he may push and then I can't tell the difference between that and a set/straight. I elect to just call and will probably lead the river and 'might' fold to a push.


    Pot: $40.25
    RIVER [board cards K,9,T,3,3 ]
    _TheHorror_ bets $12, wowkhansen calls $12.

    Go runner runner. I just caught a better two-pair, if he's even that strong. I elect to lead...but my lead I think is really too weak. Then again, I don't necessarily want to scare off a just top-pair hand. But I don't think I'm likely to fold any more. I can't gauge whether or not he would call a push, but that was probably the best play...at the time I thought for a sec that I might still fold to a push, so the bet amount was sensitive to that, still leaving me with enough behind to get away if I had to. His call obviously says that I probably have the best hand here...so I should have bet more...but betting much more here I might as well just push...I don't think I thought through the river bet amount quite enough. Suggestions welcome.

    Pooooosh. It is just 3/4 pot after the rake and is a solid vb here since it will get called by any King here esp. KT/K9.

    I c/r the turn. If he calls, push the river. As played, I bet the river a little harder, $20 or so.

    Alright thanks again.
    I figured that I should have gone with my read and bet the river a little harder. It appeared that on the turn he must have been a little afraid that I had KK or something cuz he bet so lite but had me beat at the time.
    So I'm not sure he would have called a push on the river but would have called $20 easily...and by the time I bet that much I almost might as well push so it's kinda a tossup there. Either way $12 doesn't cut it and I did lose some value unfortunately.

    SHOWDOWN
    _TheHorror_ shows [ AD,AC ]
    wowkhansen mucks cards [ 10S,9C ]
    _TheHorror_ wins $63.
