set vs lag

He was running 55/25.
Board looks really ugly on the river, should i call anyway since i called the turn?
And is pushing turn better then this line?

raise preflop

Please raise more on the flop so you can get it all in on the turn. That is all.

river decision sux but I usually call since a lot of ppl will push the straight and you re getting a niiiiice price

edit : so I forgot that 3 "s" s mean villain could have a flush...

but i m a station so you might not wanna take my advice

you played the turn bad

thnx for that deep intellectual advice.

he's right though.

raise pre to establish post flop fold equity. raise more when you hit in most situations against laggs. Never call behind with a monster in any remotely drawing situation - you're giving laggs exactly what they want and allowing the table to be turned on you.

I think the river is probably a call. If he's a lagg and he makes that river bet, his hand range you can put him on is wider than simply a made flush. He's giving you good odds. I'd call.

he is, but posts like that arent really helpfull.I know i fucked up this hand, thats why i ask advice.If i want the answer to be u played it good/bad, i would make a poll instead.

Well lets see if you played the turn bad what other possible actions can we do? Folding is not an option. Try to think about what people say instead of insta-flaming them. It's amazing what you can deduce.

So this isnt a condescending, sarcastic remark? Either way whatever. What site is this? The HH's are pretty hard to follow.

You came across as either

a) a jerk
b) someone who needs every little thing spelled out for him

If you're lucky, it's a) because b) doesn't bode great things for your poker career.

raise preflop raise turn

If you really have this little self-control then you are picking up the wrong hobby. Im not trolling or trying to extend this little deal. I just hope that you might be able to think about this for a bit. Hopefully after some reflection you will be a better person / poker player because of it.

The hand is under-repped but alot of draws came in. Raising is spewing IMHO. If we want to raise we need to raise the turn. Really there is no other way to play the hand.

Ur right.
Im calm now...

If it's any consolation Dislexic, I think you got involved in a fight with the popular kid and everyone rushed to his defense. I thought Gabe's comment lacked content as well. Too bad you're not more popular around here. :wink:

lol

just like gnomes said, there are only a few options on the turn:raise, call, fold. obviously hes not folding and the option he chose is bad, so what does that leave???

Technically speaking you are right, but you could have given him some more advice than: "You played the turn bad."
I know you like to keep your posts to a minimum WPP, but I felt Dislexic needed to hear that he wasn't that wrong up until the point when he went to flaming Gnomes.
No harm, no foul, Gabe. I respect your opinions even if they are the most succinct @ FTR. :D

i wanna be popular someday :cut:

I agree with the consensus to raise preflop.

On the turn, why are you flat calling? Afraid of QJ I'm assuming? I'd still say raise here and HARD. I think you gotta pay off a straight here, and make the FD pay hard.

As played, his river bet is too small relative to the pot, so we have to call.
