HERO?? (ca 320 behind, villain has hero covered)


villain had been quite active at this table, running about 30/15/3. He had minraised preflop a couple of times, but didnt seem totally donkish. He had never been caught bluffing, but had floated(?) other players a couple of times in position.

I had not gotten out of line, running about 18/16/4. Sample size only 100 hands at this point.

I assign his range to be flush, air, set somewhat unlikely (he should be scared of the third diamond), maybe 1pair/with nutflush draw, maybe straight.

Whats my best play here? (if this is totally standard i apologise in advance... :oops: )

I'll be really intrigued to see what the regs say about this one.

I either shove or fold of course, but i guess it should be said.

I mean your hand beats most anything this guy thinks is the nuts but isn't, maybe he has KdJ, who knows, his line only makes sense for a Ad-Qdxd, and thats such a thin range. I don't feel very good about it but i put it in.

This is a pretty gross spot.

For 100bb's I think I'm stacking here, the question is just how.

Given that we have position, I honestly don't mind a flat call of his min c/r that much. If he's behind, he's drawing to about 8 outs and if he's ahead he's for sure calling our push anyhow.

I don't mind a balance between calling the raise and calling any river bet on a non-diamond river, or just pushing on the turn. Either way I'm stacking here for about 100bb's.

If we had better reads on how fishy he was... and if he'd call our push with a bare diamond/two pair/top pair, then I'd lean more towards pushing over his turn raise.

Sorry but no more reads... that's the beauty of multitabling...

Well, after have timebanked i decided to call turn and call a non-diamond river, a card pairing the board would be borderline...

HERO???

...not excactly a dream card... but his betsizing is weird...potodds is sweet...

did you consider he would have the same hand?

I'd fold river but no doubt shove>call on turn.

When did you start playing 2/4? :shock:

Anyway, tricky spot, looks flushy. Do you really think he might have air on turn? If so, I guess you're priced in to look for a bluff/split/something retarded on the river. Doesn't really look like he's trying to make you fold, though. I don't know, villain's name doesn't ring any bells (lol you forgot to replace it pre-flop).

Well, I don't play 400... I just sat at the table cus i know one of the players. Also- i dont think i have revealed villains name in the hand history... as for the hand i timed-down... and called - he showed 87o.
