dont think villain will mind if i post his screen name as he obviously played this hand well regardless.
sadloner69 was small blind.
the guy on the button can remain unknown for obvious reasons.
the only reason i gave the read about guy on the button is because it effects the dynamics between me and sb. we both know villain is out of the hand now so i dont want to let him have control over a pot that i think i can have and i have position in.
i reraise turn to balance ranges. i also think he leads a large % of his range here on the turn so im happy to reraise a large % of my range too (can't make it too easy for him). pot is relatively small and i would probably be reraising this board with the hands that im trying to represent on the turn (straights and sets). river obviously looks great to me. i also think i will take the pot down a lot on this turn from top pair type hands (villain may be good enough to know this too...maybe). it is also easier to reraise this turn with the knowledge there wont be any action from the player on the btn.
oh right ok. Well the fact it was him makes it less of a fold. Even he is going to show up with the eff nuts here way more than he doesn't.
Sometimes you just have to let it go and if he's bluffed you then fair enough. I wouldn't spend too long thinking about a spot like this and if you folded I'd be fairly happy with that decision.
In Response to Re: being put to decisions at NL50 : You need to re think you'r mentality on cash games m8!!!! i mean............ if oppo turns house or nut flush hey ho move on?? Villain is a decent reg(Prob has ~22), ask yourself what does a decent reg on the SB have that he is happy to put all his money in with on the river???? this is a easy fold. Posted by WHOAMI196
