Hero ??

6650/call

Fine til now, 14k turn, then jam the river is my standard line.

If he is uber aggressive and I think he is betting every river regardless I would go 2/3 pot and cc river.


Lolz you added another player calling in whilst I typed this, probs still play it the same tbh.

?? I haven't edited it - Player 10 called pre, folded flop.

14k to call a jam, and get it in over a raise?


6650 on turn? Seems small?

My bad. going insane. Still sticking with my line

I'd make it 7777 and not fold. Think 14k puts too much pressure on worse hands to fold. If he's flopped a set then tough shit I suppose. I'd to know something more to consider folding

22500 in the pot on the turn. We have 33983 behind, the effective stack.

Check/shove. He won't fold anything he has floated with and should bet most pairs for protection + we get some chips of any junk he has.

It's a situation I have difficulty with. Playing what seems a big hand, OOP

Going into chk call mode seems destined to lose value and yet bet calling seems to play into the hands of a flopped set / two pair

Will post turn action later

like to check here.

The story so far....

Hero Oh what a great card....Now what????

Get to showdown

So bet flop check turn and river is good for you too George?

It's what happened, but it felt, post hand, that it was a too passive approach. Maybe I'm learning :)

What would we do if villain bets 8000 or so on the river?

I like the plan to check/r turn by others but in this comp I'm just going to try and get 3 streets

fine up to now, 3100 otr

like this size.

checking the turn is meh, i prefer to bet and get three streets in this comp vs a random, ppl dont fold top pair, which is obviously way more likely than 2pair+

If you were the villain and had AJ, would you fold to 3 barrels?

Bet Bet Jam

vs some people yes, vs some people no. not going to answer anymore specifically as I intend to play the GP tonight 8)

Sorry George, but getting three streets doesn't fit with your earlier post

he meant once the A pops on the river, thats the aim.

but generally on the flop/turn we're looking to get 3 streets

Yeh obv meant on river tho like langleys bet
