Hand vs Estrop a couple of minutes ago.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Hero ($35.25)
Estrop ($47.6)
BB ($12.9)
UTG ($23.8)
MP ($26.5)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, 7. Estrop posts a blind of $0.1.
2 folds, Hero raises to $1, Estrop (poster) calls $0.90, BB calls $0.75.

Flop: ($3) 7, 7, 2 (3 players)
Estrop checks, BB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($3) 4 (3 players)
Estrop bets $2, BB folds, Hero calls $2.

River: ($7) A (2 players)
Estrop bets [$6], Hero raises [$12], Estrop is all-In [$38.6], Hero is all-In [$20.25]

Final Pot: $70.50

Results in white below:
Estrop has Ac As (full house, aces full of sevens).
Hero has 7c 7d (four of a kind, sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins $70.50.


Worked out great, but I feel I could've made a move on the turn as I could get no action on the river if Estrop has a slightly worse hand. What do you think?

P.S. Sorry Estrop! :P

Because you checked the flop, normally you bet out I thought you maybe had a 7. When I bet the turn, it confirmed what I thought and I would of check/folded the river. But when the ace hit, I thought no better card could of came and that I'm about to mess you up badly :P

I might make a small bet on the flop rather than just checking behind. Opponents with small and middle pairs will probably call, an opponent with a flush draw will probably call, and sometimes players will even call with ace high or overcards in these situations. This builds the pot and also helps conceal your strength a bit. If all your opponents fold, you weren't going to win anything anyways.

On the turn I'd raise the minimum of small or medium-sized bets and just call large ones. On the river I'd obviously be raising and reraising trying to get someone all-in.

estrop why did you play your aa so weakly? was it just to mix your play up somewhat? I ask this cos I play mine pretty much exatcly the same every time. I would of re-raised preflop then lead out the flop with a standard cont bet post flop.

you put your op on a 7 but if you think about it he's not going to have A7 - if he has a 7 he has to have 77, the only hand that can have you beat.
Experimenting - 200NL 5max.

I generally play very LAGgy at 6 max, if it's folded to me and I'm on the button, I could be raising to $1 with literally any two cards. Estrop made a good attempt at trying to catch me swinging, but he got unlucky (and failed miserably :P).

You saying he should have known he had 77, and layed down his hand?

Folding that river has to be ----------EV, no way you ever put your opponent on quads when you have the second nuts. The only way I make that laydown is if I am god and can see their cards.

Hopefully there was some sarcasm in this line of thinking......

If you've ever seen dwarfman play 6max, he raises like 90% hands preflop and bets the pot on the flop. If I had reraised he would of slowed down, if he had hit or not. When he checked the flop, I knew he had a 7. So I bet small on the turn just to make sure. If he called that he defiently did and I'd fold the river. But the river looked to give me the best hand, as I thought he had 7x not 77. That's why I pushed after his reraise.

Exactly, I could've played this hand a lot better than I did. I'm too used to being unreadable due to the laziness of a standard $25 NL 6 max fish, that I make very obvious plays.

fair do's i just thought 7x is very unlikely - however taking his play into account then maybe he could of had 67s or 78s.

I'm a limit player and know that this line just SCREAMS either a slow play or bluff.

Are you saying he should have put D on 77? He could have been slowplaying 44,22 or even A7. No ways am I folding a top FH here, and if he was sure D would call why is it wrong to push?

No, he's saying that dwarfman could have played his hand much better. It's difficult to get much action from many hands when he plays passively and finally jumps alive on the river.

There are other lines that don't look like he has an absolute monster, atleast.

EDIT- Like Estrop said, he was prepared to fold AA becuase he figured dm for a 7.

Opps, I didn't notice the FH at the end. Yeah, AA is losing his stack here.

i fail to understand what the hell you are talking about, he could easily have A7s, 78s, 67s, 79s, 7Ts, and even more hands with a 7 considering he is on the button and he was the one raising not the one calling. you cant put someone on quads unless the board is tripped, if you think you can then you are full of yourself.

Heh -- hate money?

Seriously, I think you really have to put a standard continuation bet out here. First, estrop and your (semi-conscious) opponents will expect it if that's your usual move after raising preflop. Second, not doing it conveys more information than betting, minimizing the amount of money you'll get on later streets. Third, if you check these kind of flops (where you flop a set or quads or a flush or whatever), you'll get less respect when you are continuing on a stone bluff, and more people playing back at you, which sucks. Finally, any hand paying you off here (overpair, a2, frush draw) will call/raise your flop bet. Only way I think your check is good is if your opponent is the sort of stupid and aggressive player who interprets all checks as weak and bets into them. Estrop is not this sort of player....

very funny actually..not really...what i meant is that i can put someone on quads (still very hard though) when the board has three of the same number...4555T board for example....than when it has 2 of the same number..455AT
