Results 1 to 8 of 8

    Default Straight from BB, bad river, best plan?

    SB is loose preflop, passive postflop, but doesn't call down very much. Best plan for the river?

    HH converter messed up so sry for the format.


    Texas Hold'em $1-$2 NL (real money)

    Seat 2: SB ($168.60 in chips)
    Seat 3: HERO [ , ] ($205.40 in chips)
    Seat 4: villain2 ($203.80 in chips)
    Seat 8: villain3 ($252.50 in chips)
    Seat 10: villain4 ($360.35 in chips)
    ANTES/BLINDS
    SB blind ($1), HERO post blind ($2).

    PRE-FLOP
    3 folds, SB calls $1, fold_lol checks.

    FLOP [board cards :Ah:,, ]
    SB bets $2, HERObets $6, SB calls $4.

    TURN [board cards :Ah:,,, :Kh: ]
    SB bets $8, HERO bets $30, SB calls $22.

    RIVER [board cards :Ah:,,, :Kh:, ]
    SB bets $25, HERO ? (SB has $105 left, HERO covers)

    how worried are you about 63? I raise him to $75, being consistent with 3x raise of his bet on each street. If you put him allin here i think it makes it a little easier for SB to let it go.

    If he does have 63, well, the world is a cruel and unfair place.

    I don't think he will call the turn raise with 63 so just push for the rest of your chips and hope he calls with a set or something.

    I push here as well, why are we advocating putting in lime 80% of his stack? If he is calling that he is calling a push, so just push.

    The fact that he was passive (didn't bet much) made me kinda worried when he didnt seem scared of the one-card straight (kept on betting even when I raised him before). On the other hand, 43 is the only hand with a trey in it I could reasonably have had, so I thought he had a set / twopair and pushed, figuring he wouldn't fold A5/A2/52/set etc. (Remember he limped from SB so his range is kinda wide and could contain two hearts)
