Just can’t believe he made the call. I was playing at a moose lodge that ended at midnight and it was the last hand of the night, I think that may have helped.
Haha, yeah that’s pretty sick that he called. I guess he figured you should be afraid of the straight since you won’t have many 4’s once you raise preflop but you jammed anyway so it was more likely you had air?
Ya, I didn’t think about the one card to the straight hurting me. He did have a flush draw on the turn, but I was firing bullets every chance I got. I was hoping he would put me on that Ace, or at least Jacks or better. Oh well, I’ve been on a bad downswing, but I’d do the same play again. Thanks for replying Brad. Did you ever post your vlog of the Andrew/Brad 2-5 game?
Did you announce to him it was your last hand? Don’t do that! Your turn bet seemed way too small to make it an easy call on the turn and then I bet he felt pot committed by the river. Not saying he made a winning call in the long run but I think your small turn bet set it up
Sizing is definitely off on the turn, and it makes whatever hand you are trying to rep pretty unlikely. The board is wet, so presumably you’d bet much more with a made hand. Obviously still a gross call.
All that said, I generally find myself playing pretty honestly in multi-way pots. Much easier to get bluffs through 1 player.
Villain does pick up some equity on the turn with that spade(if he thinks you hit the ace) but I agree with the bet sizing on the turn being too small. A bigger turn bet definitely puts more pressure on him, but he still may have called. It’s hard in lower limit games to get certain players to fold hands. Not sure how much history you had with the player, and if he was the type to lay hands down facing big river bets? Maybe checking seemed like a better option after he calls the turn? Knowing the outcome of the hand makes it easier to say that, but I guess I just look at what would he possibly call the turn with?
