***** Hand History for Game 2040870985 *****
$100 NL Hold'em - Thursday, May 12, 23:56:55 EDT 2005
Table Table 36667 (6 max) (Real Money)
Seat 4 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 1: marathondoor ( $111.25 )
Seat 2: hunmann8 ( $108.85 )
Seat 6: Tbone0569 ( $221.11 )
Seat 3: SlappYou ( $105.95 )
Seat 4: Alloptions ( $98.5 )
Seat 5: dream9218 ( $99 )
dream9218 posts small blind [$0.5].
Tbone0569 posts big blind [$1].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to SlappYou [ Kd Ah ]
marathondoor folds.
hunmann8 raises [$2].
SlappYou raises [$5].
Alloptions folds.
dream9218 folds.
Tbone0569 folds.
hunmann8 calls [$3].
** Dealing Flop ** [ 4d, Jh, 3c ]
hunmann8 bets [$4].
SlappYou raises [$14].
hunmann8 calls [$10].
** Dealing Turn ** [ 9s ]
hunmann8 bets [$4].
SlappYou folds.
hunmann8 does not show cards.
hunmann8 wins $41.55


After getting raised to $14 the guy bets small again. Ive been seing a lot of small trapping bets like this before, and I felt like he was dying for a raise. Since all I had was AK, I let it go. I felt like a bitch for doing this after a huge raise, but obviously the guy had something. Do you think I could have pushed him off or was he hoping for a raise? I know its no question to fold after a bluff, but what do you put him on?

I dont even know what im asking for in this hand. If you feel like it, tell me something about it.


Its a shitty, shitty 2 days in the poker world for me. Not because of this hand, but just overall.

The fact that he called instead of raising signals this is not a bluff. I'd fold.

I think I have successfully bluffed w/ a cold call or similar act of slowplaying one time in my entire life. I will not ever try it and will fold to cold calls more than I will to huge raises.

ive foudn normally when players keep leading out small like this they are on a draw and just want you to call so they can get at it cheaply. but in this situation this isnt a flop for a drawing hand so i would probably put him on something strong.. maybe trips trying to get you to go all in

I think he had either Aces or Kings here, he raises, what, 4x? and smooth calls a reraise, then bets out again on an unconnected board into someone who obviously likes his hand.

Good fold IMO.

I think I'd just call the bet preflop and try to conceal my hand a little more. Small raising to $5 just screams AK. On the flop your play is good but a min-bet to $8 would work just as well. Also when doing a min bet to test him, I like to do it mostly when I'm headsup with the person. Don't over-do your min bets like you did to $14 because this is a sign of a missed AK alot of the time. I like to trap people who do that..

It possibly would have worked, but I never make small bets or small raises unless I am trapping. I also play AA, KK, QQ the same here so hopefully next time he does think Im screaming missed AK.
