edited July 2011 in The Poker Clinic
saw this table at NL10 with average pot of £10. Sat down. watched all participants throw money around like confetti. decide to have a shot. by the time im dealt in 2 have gone busto. All players are looser than ****. However to be fair B is playing the players well. Im by the point of the hand considered tighter than an elastic band on a certain part of the male anatomy

get one decent holding in 20+ hands. I have seen both oppos call down to show down pot bets on every street with K high, complete air, 5 high.....you name it..... and they raise every hand and call any reraises pre.

    If the player in question is as you describe and you are not exaggerating whatsoever then there is nothing to suggest they have Ace here so bet for value to get called by Jack or other pocket pair

    Nowhere near your level tapeworm but given your description of the table I think he's going to call you all the way down here - why not save time and shove?

    Player dependant, if he doesnt have an A he's going to be afraid of you taking him to value town as much as your afraid of him.

    For me I slowdown and see what I can gleam from his bet size at turn.

    Its not an auto stack off in my opinion.  His bet size/speed will give you something.

    either shove or check get it in, whichever you think is more likely to make him spew

    Also I make it bigger pre if he calls anyway

    Yh £1.60 pre for me.

    Flop is pretty ugly, bet is good though.

    Turn is horrible, would shove but not happy about it.

    I crying called and the dude shows up with J8 off.....

    Here my question really, I knew I was beat in fact i was certain - and for some reason I had a feeling it was a Jack - not a read just a hunch as to be fair he coulda had anything.

    Do we still call off these little river bets when we are certain we are behind due to the fact we could be wrong and as YG points out he may have Qx?

    I seriously contemplated folding on this river as im not beating much........would a fold of been terribad?

    And a second question - am I right to take shots like this two levels above my BR limit when it is obvious players are throwing money around?

    The bloke who won this hand had just bust 3 other players playing really recklessly - the average pot when I sat dow was £10!!! - gotta have a crack right????

    Depends how much you care about losing a buyin or 2. But you have to be disciplined. If you lose your max limit you have to stop. Otherwise you might bust your entire bankroll.

    Yeah I did quite well in that respect, shortly after this hand 3 players sat down of which 2 were very good, i lost another £2 through my raises not connecting with the flop, but hitting their ranges and gave up.......back to NL4 several quid lighter.......I gave myself an A for effort and table selection though!!!

    Q1. it really does depend but often over time your losing money if you fold in this spot with such generous odds. its a crying call as £2 to win £10.76 is over 4-1 so only 1 in 4/5? needs to be good for it to be +ev

    Q2. if you have observed and have good reads on the level above its ok to take a shot if you limit yourself how many you can lose and stay diciplined

    Do you think your going to win 1 in 5? I'm not sure. You can litterally only beat KQ or Q10 . How often are they going to have that?  are they always going to value bet them? 

    edit, oh they could have Qd xd aswell, but again, do they just check them?

    lol, well yeah I agree shoving is pretty bad not sure what I was thinking, he hasnt much behind though and Im not sure I like c/f abainst a spewmonkey, I assumed a bet would put us in

     I prob sighcall river it can be spazzes sometimes. You have a point  tbf, it may be a c/f on both turn and river even getting those odds

    Yeah shoving is terrible, can only get called by a better hand. Checking to induce a bluff is different tho. Depends on the villian.

    I'm not saying its a defo fold. But his bet size on river is very worrying. Is he good enough to value bet bluff (missed flush draws), I doubt it. Has he got the ability to value bet a queen, again i'm not so sure. So then that means he cant really have anything that we beat. So that makes me think its a fold. If you think he can bet a queen here then a call is prob fine

    Id say KQd, KQ, possibly Q10 , also maybe K10 if he was on straight draw, i do agree though it looks like we are beat here but its nl10 they can show up with worse alot here imo
