In Response to Re: MTT - Hero Call? : Deuce!!! U back on sky? U best still be in team DOHHHHHH in the next comp.... Would anyone else fold here??????? Whaaaaaaaaaaat? I know the set mining odds or whatever r wack, but u double up when u hit a set more often than not! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
How do you make this out ,when in another post you reckon he misses entirely enough for you to call river with a pair of threes. You can maybe call pre, but you cant have it both ways. I probably call pre, but I think its pretty marginal if we are purely setmining, also you can get squeezed behind Posted by grantorino
Coz they don't fold.
They will bluff with the betting lead and call all the time, but wont fold.
If you flop a set on sky and ur oppo isnt a good reg, u double ur money most of the time
As long as you called the river you played it well.
Calling flop is fine. I don't like betting turn because he just folds all hands we beat. By checking turn we can get value from river bluffs on safe cards.
raising flop would be bad as you're turning your hand into a bluff, calling would be ok ish but you'll never know where you are in the hand unless villain checks the turn .. which he does, i think check back is fine, only going to get called by a worse hand betting, i know betting is protecting your hand but what against? 2 overs? that'd be spewy imo , judging by your twitter (LOL) i take it you call and lose? i don't think it's the worst call in the world but it's a strong bet, it looks like villain has checked turn to try and trap you and deffo has you beat ... imo anyway Posted by percival09
dont see how this is a particularly bad thing in this spot. fold />>raise>>call

How many safe cards are there really? Most cards just make our decision tougher when he bets. If we bet turn we can get value from draws and then get to check river.

any card that pairs the board, any card lower than a 9.
He bets turn with 99, so really we are getting value from A9 if we bet? We can just snap most rivers this way.
I was the viallain in this hand. Do remember the hand. Was a really interesting hand. I tried to give u a tough decision on the river, and play the hand out of the ordinary to try and induce a call. If the roles were reversed, I probablt would lean towards a fold, leaving u plenty behind. I'm not a reg MTT player at all, and would definately play the hand differently on a cash table.
Regarding the j10 spewy 4 bet jam vs penguin, I'd had enough and was happy to get out of the tournie, ha! Not a standard play by me!

I suppose if you actually have intentions to turn your hand into a bluff it's fine, but when i originally posted it i was referring to somebody else's post who said hero should raise to find out where they are, which is why i posted that, because i think raising most of the time should either be for value/protection or a bluff, and heros holdings arent strong enough to raise for value obv

Wow. you better read some more of your textbooks. Unable to let go of pocket 3s. Check behind on the turn and call river. lol
