Just out of curiosity, why did you make this a 100NL hand when this happened at 25NL?

Hah, busted!

I only have like 500 bucks on Stars right now I'm trying to build a roll without having to pull money out of my funds since I started playing again last week. Didn't know you posted here.

Why? Do you put him on AQ clubs or something if he calls the turn?

out of curiosity, why do you care? seems like the only reason you could have for calling him out is to embarrass him. pretty dickish ...

hmm

i guess my thinking was stupid since my initial read on a nit checking the flop then making a small bet on turn is JJ/QQ most of the time in this spot

He wouldn't call with those hands unless he were weird/bad/brilliant so shutting down when called is prob best.

Whoops sry.

As the huge nit in the hand, I felt like saying something! But you're right, sorry mcat. I was actually thinking of posting this hand myself.

ARK - I would call pre with A5 75 65 45 which is 8 possible combos, but there are at least ten possible ways for me to have clubs here (Ax J9 98 97 87 86 76 I'd probably bet the flop with QJ and just call here with JT T9). Everyone folded but I'm probably bluffing more often than not in this spot. That might be OK because it looks like no one has much of a hand.

I get the feeling KK-TT bets the turn harder. Seems more like QQ-JJ to me.

seems fine... problem is most nits who check flop with JJ QQ are committed to calling 2 bets so u have to fire river often. Also, ur flush draw is almost completely irrelevant.

I think this is why I instinctively suggested it being good if you fire the river

meh who knows...

I must be stupid or something, but why bet the river if he is commited to calling with a better hand?

he s committed to calling turn raise calling b.s. but will often fold on the river with a QQ type hand

Ahhh... to me "calling 2 bets" means your turn raise AND your river bet.

this type of thing is common. a lot of players who are high stakes 1k would post it at 100NL. otherwise, people don't feel "worthy" to give advice.

likewise, the other way around tends to get less "the stakes are low call any day" type responses.
