This is Dsteele02(on most us freindly sites) and I have a situation to run by your keen minds.
Before we start I should tell you I pegged villian as very tight preflop and very aggressive post flop. I've made this assumption based on the various times I see his holdings in showdowns over a few hour period. He has position. Blinds: 150/300 no ante My Holdings: Kd Qd Villains action preflop(from the button): Raise to 750 SB Folds My action from the BB: Call 750 (current pot 1650) Flop brings: Qs 5d 3d My Action: Raise 825 Villians Action: Call 825(Current pot 3300) Turn Brings: Js My Action: Raise 3300 Villians Action: Call 3300(Current pot 9900) River Brings: 10s My Action: Check (I'll tell you in a bit) Villians Action: Raise All In (He has me covered) Final Board: Qs 5d 3d Js 10s My Thoughts: I put my opponent on A K preflop. He has a nasty habit of adjusting the raise to suit his holdings, and I had seen him raise precisely two and a half the blinds and show A K 3 times. I have a sneaky suspicion that the only way my opponent has a flush here is with AKs. The smooth call on the flop and the turn more than aroused my suspicion, and seemed to me at the time either a flush draw(once we get to the turn), or a set. I understand that by checking the river I also set him up to try and steal the pot, but I told myself I wanted to see anything but a spade or a 10 there, and I managed to get both(My luck precisely). Obviouslt a thousand other possibilities occur to me. I.E. He had a busted dia draw, he had AQ among others. Tell me what you do in this situation and after some feedback I'll let everyone know what action I took and the results. |

I semi jokingly typed while I was contemplating my decision: Royal? And everyone at the table lol'd. I responded he either has a royal or a straight to the ace. I folded and he showed. I sat at that table for another 3 hours and most were very weary when in hands with me after the flop. I take no credit for this. It was not so much a skill of mine as it was a VERY large leak in his game. So for those of you that dont do it already, remember what ppl raise with preflop when you get the chance to see them showdown. I dont have a ton of talent but attentiveness has served me well. Information is my lifeblood. |

Can you give us a little more info. What kinda game was it? How many people left (if a tourny)? How much was the all-in that covered you, how many chips did you have before the hand started, or when he made the all in bet.

"I put my opponent on A K preflop."
Then why did you call with a hand that you thought was completely dominated preflop? I actually see this a lot from some posters. They'll have put their opponent on the exact hand that now beats them preflop (and often they have no business in the hand if they actually thought their opponent had that hand preflop). I'd really like to be taught this awesome power of knowing my opponents hole cards precisely when all he's done is made 1 bet preflop. I promise to use it to fold when I devine that I'm dominated and only use this power for good (the good of my BR). So please tell me why you called preflop if you put your opponent on AK (making you a 3 to 1 dog)? |
