Do I just suck at NL ring games?

[KoRnholio]

I really only play PL Omaha and fixed limit hold'em, besides the odd No Limit tourny (which I do okay in usually).

I had some points on UB that weren't enough to buy anything so I decided to try to run it up in a ring game. I nearly doubled up once against some fish then hit this hand. Basically looking for a spot to double up or go broke, and I hit one of my goals :P

(blinds 10/25, quite deep stacks, 2000 min buyin, I had 3500 or so)

Pre-flop:

kathiland folds. kdsweat raises to 150 pts. The Big
Sexy folds. SamFischer calls. KoRnholio calls (Js Ts).
DMIDDLETON folds. Aces_Full_23 folds. TheSoupNazzi
calls.

Flop (board: 4d Tc Jd):

TheSoupNazzi checks. kdsweat bets 200 pts.
SamFischer folds. KoRnholio raises to 550 pts.
TheSoupNazzi folds. kdsweat calls.

Turn (board: 4d Tc Jd Ks):

kdsweat checks. KoRnholio goes all-in for 3106 pts.
kdsweat calls.

River (board: 4d Tc Jd Ks Qd):

(no action in this round)

Showdown:

KoRnholio shows Js Ts.
KoRnholio has Js Ts Tc Jd Ks: two pair, jacks and tens.
kdsweat shows Kd Kc.
kdsweat has Kd Kc Jd Ks Qd: three kings.

kdsweat wins 7919 pts with three kings.


I figured him for either AK (maybe with a flush draw) or AA.

On the turn I would bet pot or 2/3 pot and see what he does...if you just go allin, you get no information - and if he calls the allin you're probably beat.

I'd fold to the preflop raise. JTs is something you want in a multi-way pot where implied odds are in your favour.

Never bet that heavy when only a better hand will call you. Always bad news.

Scare cards: 11 diamonds, 3 nondiamond queens, 3 nondiamond Aces, 3 nondiamond nines=20 scare cards to come with 46 cards in deck

what if you get called on a smaller sized bet and Villain pushes a scare card on River? Fold?

The Turn bet was less than 2x the pot so it wasn't a total overbet.

I don't think giving a free card or a cheap card is wise in this case. Your top two is good enough of the time to warrant a Push on the Turn.
