Title: Did I play this wrong?
Post by: crussty on January 07, 2008, 04:58:47 PM
Posted this in Sunday funday thread last night but no replys so thought I'd put it here;

Anyway...early stages of last nights Sunday Million and this happens.

I personally thought I played it standard but I showed a mate it and he felt my play was wrong so just wondering what you guys thought. I may as well show his hand as will be obvious what he had in the fact I'm asking if I played it wrong. Obviously the turn is the important part

I'm not raising the turn, I'm flat calling in position for pot control with a marginal hand. I might have put him on spades after the flop but that turn bet doesn't tell me he has spades!

nasty river, ul!

I took that as a stopper bet though and seen him to be drawing

I more often see stoppers on the river

Here, I find its often a monster...see what others think

yeah, often stinks of a monster. it tends to be a player who wants some value from their hand but doesn't want to lose their customer.

kind of irrelevant in this hand though, I'm doing my stack on the river regardless of whether I call or raise on the turn.

my play however is probably to call the turn bet, scream woooohoooo as the 10 falls, laugh hysterically as he re-re-raises me all in, fist pump as I shove all my chips in and then start crying as the realisation hits home

I, like tighty flat call the turn, but once you house up on the river it really makes no difference, its very hard NOT for all the money to go in...

Agree with the analysis so far.  As soon as he check calls the flop and then min bets the turn you have to have him for a big hand.  No raise on the turn for me.

Tightys response on turn is spot on.
WTF like im ever passing on river here? I call whilst doing the double fistpump elvis thrust.
