Vs Nick Hicks.

[rfgqqabc]

no reiterate my point, I think raising the flop is significantly better than calling.

Why? Nick has a fairly strong range and a lot of heart. Why not try and realise our equity with the weaker range in the middle? We can't really bluff every if we flat the flop would be one convincing point.

800 big blinds deep in a limped pot OOP what the hell is he gonna do here without K8/88/44 and even K8 is gonna have a rough time after some pressure, plus we have decent equity vs all those hands. He can't 3bet the NFD and we can take him off that hand and/or hit a Q or a J and he'll be stabbing, imo, reasonably wide here, primarily for protection, prolly just has a naked K a lot. He just gonna cling on the whole way with KT?

also ensures it's very likely to be HU to the turn.

I think its the best way to play the pot, makes you much harder to play and gives you much more chance of winning the pot.

I'm with Dave here for sure.

also, I feel like this hand is being thought about in the wrong kind of way post flop.

I don't feel like enough attention is getting paid to how Nick has to perceive the situation. He has led multi way and got 2 callers. He has to assume that one of them has a flush draw a decent % of the time. SO on the river he knows that a large part of his two opponents ranges are going to at least bet, and some of it (the flushes) probably won't fold. He definitely doesn't expect us to fold a flush here, and considering he is the only person who can have a boat, I think we have to fold.

He's just targeting the flush part of your range with the check/raise. You have to fold in my humble opinion.

Agree with Jamie and Dave, think it's a reasonably standard fold, though an annoying one admittedly.

All of this sounds pretty spot on.

After reading this, I think it is an easier fold than I first thought,

*sigh* lol I ended up flicking it in and getting shown the  , and spending the next orbit understanding why he's a sicko :p

[SuuPRlim]

very high chance we win this pot if we raise the flop...

[FredW]

Jam river as a bluff imo

[Redbull]

V good analysis by Jamie, Dan and Dave.

Tough fold for you though considering how ool I was this session. Only sicko thing is amount of wine consumed that evening :-)

[SuuPRlim]

only way to beat nick is to out drink him
