10 hands into the table.
Hero: $430
Villian: $517 (Small Blind)
Hero Js 8s raises $16 from Cut-off. ( regular raise )
Small Blind Calls. ( Pot = $34 )
Flop = 9s, 10s 3h
Comment: Nice flop: Up and down straight flush draw. ( 15 outs for straight or flush )
Villain: Riasies $20
Hero: Reraises $75
Villian Calls (Pot = 184 ).
Turn: 10h ( I checked because knew potential full house had hit and wanted to get end of hand as cheaply as possible especially with a non made hand and only one street to come.)
Villian Checks
Hero Checks.
Turn 7c ( I hit my straight. )
Villian bets $124
My Question: Whats the best long term decision here. Its either Call or fold I know that. ( A raise will only get called by full house ) But what the best long term decision against a standard/good player?
I knew that he had either
a) trips - very possible - eg a 10,j type hand.
b) a busted Flush draw. ( The only way he knows he can win is by betting )
c) Full house. ( likely with check on turn after getting fullhouse )
d) straight ( same as me - possible but unlikely )
e) An overpair. very possible too.
So I beat 3 of the 5 possibilities, but whats the correct long term play. I am interested in people comments here regardless of the outcome ( which is shown below in white )
I called. He showed the Full house. I know it was very likely. This is not a bad beat story as I knew this was very possible.
