£3 NLHE STT Turbo: NLHE STT Turbo: £3 NLHE STT Turbo: Turning top pair into a bluff
Ok this is a slightly different one. This is a hand I played at my Uni's poker society last night. It was the first hand and we run a 8 handed sit n go with 1000 chips starting and blinds starting at 10/20 and increase every 20 mins.
This was the first hand.
I'm dealt in the CO and in an unlikely change of pace for the society there are no limpers and it folds to me. I raise to 60 and get called by just the button who I play with regularly. He rarely bets, have seen him bluff only a handful of times in the last 2 years, loves to draw and will only bet (what he considers) the nuts. Blinds fold.
Flop comes:
[ Pot: 150]
I check to him and he bets 60. I expect him to check back with all worse hands other than the odd suited 5 he somehow has. Therefore i'm not too happy and just call.
Turn comes:
[ Pot: 270]
Naturally, I check, and he bets 60 again. At this point i'm sure i'm beat, he's not the sort of guy who's gunna barrel twice, even this small, without a strong piece of the hand. However, i'm also not the sort of guy who's gunna fold an ace with those pot odds.
River comes:
[ Pot: 390]
Ok so this was a fairly interesting flop for me because it brought in the diamond draw and I had the ace of diamonds. I decided to shove the remaining 610 and beg he folded. How do people feel about this??
