Pretty interesting deep hand.

I posted this in 2 irc rooms and some interesting exchanges followed. I thought it would be a good hand to post.


I have ~250 hands on villain, hes 24/16. I remembered the name and remembered I felt he was tricky. Also his flop af is 5, overall 2.33. I think the turn is the most interesting street. River I think I shouldve pushed, not much interesting here.

(hand converter was acting funny so...)

he never has a bigger boat after flop action. i push river.

flop/turn are debatable but mixing it up evry now and then vs a regular is fine so i wont criticize.

You got great value out of it, nice work. I'm worried he's on a draw, so I'm probably betting the turn, but nh.

Wow villain took a sick line for a bluff I really like his play.

How quickly do you fold QQ here? Or do you? (lol I guess the Yeti theorem holds true yet again!)

[boost]

yah I think this was a pretty good bluff line on the flop, river is thin I think. But yah hes folding out a lot of hands with this line.

villian screws up his bluff when he checks turn, no?

I thought he had like AJ.... I would have bet turn and obv. raise river.

If you make a weakish-looking turn bet he might actually push now that he picked up the draw. Ofcourse that's because I know his hand, but I think it's a good idea in general considering his range of drawy hands and TP/overpairs that are possibly looking to crai, so I'd let him. (river is easy insta-push but he would have folded anyway so no diff)

I figured the turn action said he doesn't have a bigger boat. How does the flop action tell us this?

Why would he three bet the ~uncrackable flopped nuts/2nd nuts/3rd nuts here?

I like building the pot right from the start with these hands. No one gives you credit enough. I also do this to get money in before a heart hits. Hoping Boost has 9x, AJ, overpair. Maybe I play with too many call stations but I don't let the fact I flopped the nuts slow me from putting money in the pot if my opponent has given me reason to believe he likes his hand.

He can never have a missed C/R all in on the turn here? I suppose if he respects your game he thinks you'll check behind with most showdown-oriented hands on the turn...
