call that down? I felt like a genius when he checked the river

5 folds, Button raises, SB calls, Hero 3-bets, Button calls, SB calls.

Bought the button on the turn so I could try for another free showdown, should I have?



#5 Button is a tight player, but liked to bluff into raisers after the flop (I had watched him do it at least 3 times in the previous hour) SB is very LP

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q, Q.
1 fold, Hero raises, 2 folds, CO calls, Button 3-bets, SB calls, 1 fold, Hero caps, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: (17 SB) 9, 9, A (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, CO calls, Button raises, SB calls, Hero calls, CO folds.

Turn: (12 BB) J (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, Button bets, SB calls, Hero calls.

River: (15 BB) Q (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, Button folds, SB calls.

Final Pot: 19 BB


After the turn, I was less inclined to think he was bluffing, but is there enough in there to call it down unimproved?


#6
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, Q.
2 folds, MP1 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) J, 9, K (3 players)
BB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, BB calls, MP1 folds.

Turn: (4.25 BB) 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.
If he has a K, I dont want to be check-raised. If he doesnt have a K, I want him to bluff the river or let him make a stupid call because I didnt bet the turn.

River: (4.25 BB) 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB folds.

Final Pot: 5.25 BB


Overall the tables seemed alot more aggressive today, than they have in the past several weeks. Which is why I found myself in alot more calling down situations. I felt like I was running into alot more tight bluffing plays.
Is that guy still part of the forum??

Hand 1: What do you know about the BB? That's a tough board to call on and I would be temped to just give it up, take my 2 outer and check behind on the turn. Probably fold to a river bet.

edit: Then again there is the gutshot draw he easily could have, throw in the donk factor and I can see a turn bet here. Nice part is that it's a trivial fold to a raise.

Hand 2: I think I just bet out on the turn. On the river I'm thinking check/raise/fold, particularly if you think he puts his tail between his legs and calls with Tx.

Hand 3: Check/raise/fold the turn.

Hand 4: Yawn

Hand 5: Fold the turn, one of the 2 other guys has you beat.

Hand 6: Bet the turn, you're probably good.

I'm pretty new from NL, so I'm more asking than giving an opinion, but in hand #6...

Doesn't betting the turn give you quite an advantage?
1) He probably won't bluff into you on the river. I think a lot of players auto-bet the river if you check behind here.
2) No free card.
3) You could take a free showdown there for the same price (assuming he doesn't raise the turn).
4) You're probably ahead anyway.
