I got myself in a weird spot yesterday by playing my hand a bit unconventionally and am looking for feedback. I’ll take feedback on all streets.
2/5 @ Firekeepers in Battle Creek, MI, the MSPT is there this week so the room is busy. I am about $1300 deep and main villain covers. I picked him off in a spot where he made a weird $200 bet on river in a spot that didn’t make sense an orbit or two earlier.
3 limpers to me and I make it $40 with AKo in the BB. UTG calls (he only has $50 more left), and BTN calls.
Flop ($130) K44r. I check, UTG shoves for $50, BTN calls, I call. I checked to let UTG shove, and hopefully invite button with a weaker hand before I act.
Turn ($280) T. I check, BTN bets $115 and I call.
River ($510) A. I decide that I need to lead out on this runout and bet $125, he raises to $375. Thoughts?
Hey steeser
I’m a 2-5 player myself from Montreal.
I will definitely play this hand differently then u… btw i’m a LAG player maybe this is why I chose a different line.You FP: raise Flop: C/C
Me FP: raise Flop: C/RSo u chose to C/C on the flop (villain think u don’t beat top pair).
U C/C again at the turn
(Again villain think u don’t beat top pair).
At the river u lead out for around 1/5 of the pot
(Again villain think u don’t beat top pair…this is block bet) so he raise to 375
Villain could have a mediocre K suited here on the BTN, I didn’t say he couldn’t have a 4, he could have 34 45 46 etc…
Let don’t forget K4s that will be sick lol.Ok with my line now with C/R on the flop, all the actions has change completely. The raise will be around 170$, villain will probably fold his bad K and not many small pocket that he don’t want to raise in position with. But be careful the 4 is in villain rang. If we don’t get the fold we will CB the turn, and now we will make a good bet to get all the K that didn’t fold to fold!!! Now the pot (470$) we bet around 350$, if villain still calling it bcoz he is a real donkey or he probobly have the 4, I don’t think he have a hand like KT and BTN limp unlease other limper is a real nit. TT raise FP.
( we could check turn for pot ctrl too depending on the way villain reacted to our C/R).So villain still calling the turn now the pot is 1170$, u say ur stack is 1300 but got villain cover, let assume villain started the hand with 1000$, he don’t have much left 40+170+350=560 so 440$ left villain could shove turn in our face with a 4 or trap us to bet river if we don’t bet river then he can still shove. We ( I ) will probably call him off if he shove the turn. Remember I’m a LAG player so people play less tight again me so I called that doesn’t mean im gonna win the hand lol.
If he don’t shove turn , for sure I will shove river coz of the ratio bet seize compare to pot seize, I will call him off anyway right. Let get the Valor from all the hands that we beat.GLHF at the table
Thanks for the response Luong, I definitely considered check raising, and thought about it on the flop and the turn, but for some reason I can’t explain, I didn’t.
For reference, Villain covered me in the hand, so it’s pretty deep.
The river is where I went off the rails a bit, deciding to lead to get value from his middling K’s, which were hands that I didn’t think were very likely as he probably raises many kings on the button.
Given that it’s a protected pot, I didn’t think he was likely to bluff me, that being said I couldn’t find the fold button in-game. I called and he had A4o, which surprised me given his limp-call pre-flop. Villain managed to hit a miracle flop to get a lot of chips from me. I actually think the presence of the short stack saved from losing a lot more, as I definitely take more of a lead, lead, lead and call line on the hand otherwise.
