Post by: AlexMartin on August 20, 2009, 12:38:11 PM
Villain is somewhat spewy fish but thinks before acting. This was early in the session when i was establishing some crazyness. What u reckon to this line and what would his calling range be?

Never played at these stakes or even like this, but I think im calling here with the  8c or better?

Why would you check behind the turn, if you had the  Ac or  Kc when he has already shown a willingness to get his money in?

9c + sounds about right.

Raise more on the river.
If it's a blocker bet, he may still call due to size of raise vs size of pot.

Think the river move is fine.
With a bigger raise you get rid of all bluffs and blockers, and only get called by a big club.

The raise has set him all in. Raising more will probably not change the outcome of the hand.

WTF's all this "I need the 4th nuts to call?

It's $120 to win about $420.

It's doubtful Alex value raises anything other than the A or K so if you call with the  9c or  8c you're only beating a bluff anyway.

Set or more would do me here tyvm.

EDIT: Scrap that - Top pair with a bit of a kicker.

Which is why this looks like such a valuebet!!

You rep the Aclubs well.  it looks to me like he flopped a big hand tho (very likely a flush and if he is a fish he will just click call)

It just looks like a gamble call to me.

3.5 to 1 as to whether Alex has the A or K of clubs. The way the hand plays doesn't suggest this to me.

If he's valuetowned my light call with a straight or low club then well played him.

This- I like your line but if he has any club he's calling

It looks like a value bet, but it doesn't stop people sigh-calling.
Think it's still ok and prob. just +EV.

This is v bad.  You really don't rep the Ac well at all as you'd be shoving over his flop bet with AcXs given his stack size, as you would be with all your made hands.  Only hand that makes sense for you here is if you flopped the nut flush, so can imagine you getting looked up pretty light.  Floating flop is big spew here, as is isolating a 50BB stack with this hand.

This is a little creative for me. Surely just fold on the flop. I don't like being in a pot with exactly 0 cards to improve our hand.

Your specifically repping an Ace of clubs, you wouldn't check the turn then check raise the river with the King. It's kinda convincing but it's also a bit suspicious.

If he's a spewy fish, he's calling with most clubs on the river I reckon.

Ah, my bad. Think everything still applies the same though mate.

I think this is a spot where you get crying called a lot. You expect either to see an Ace of clubs or air. But the chance of air encourages you to crying call.

I think i'd rather fire turn and river to move him off a small club rather than do it giving him such good odds on the river.
