Do you call this river raise? (1 Viewer)

[boltonguy]

25NL zone 6 max fast fold. CO limps and folds to Hero in BB. Hero checks junky hand OOP. Not raising here with this hand.

flop goes X/X

Turn gives Hero trips. Hero leads for just about a pot-sized bet. V calls.

River is a blank. Hero bets pot again and V raises to 2x. Hero?

 

[CraigT78]

I'm raising. I'd I'm drinking, I'm shoving. If not, 3/4 pot.

Edit- I'm drinking now, just looked at stacks - SHOVE.

 

[Trihonda]

Ya, I'm in the camp of maybe flatting here, seems fishy. I'd expect the villain to turn over ducks. But I also don't hate a raise, since the stacks aren't deep that you're in danger of busting. Don't think I'm folding.

 

[ChipFinderSK]

Call, expecting to see 22 held by villain.

 

[Rhodeman77]

call. I expect a lot of weak Aces, missed flushes and some case 7’s. 22 seems odd to call the turn bet but at these stakes anything is possible.

 

[tabletalker7]

Definitely at least a call. Probably a raise. Not expecting to see ducks from villain here. More expecting to see villain with a suited ace who thought it would be good.

 

[CraigT78]

HE HAS $3.67 LEFT BEHIND!! TAKE IT ALL.

Call

 

[mipevi]

Looks like villain was trapping pre with AA and got super lucky. I’d still call, tilt, then open a PLO table and play for rollz.

 

[boltonguy]

I called and V showed 22. I was very surprised V called a pot sized turn bet with 22.

FEAR. DOES NOT EXIST. IN THIS DOJO....

(raise and lose or break them)

edit: Posted after the hand revealed. Still would not change the action. Raise.

You're not folding trips in this situation. If you're beat you're beat.

A bigger question: these are zoom micros. What if any logic can we apply here?

In other words, how do people play at these stakes? Are they tricky/trappy to the point that we should actually exercise caution in a spot like this?

I'd like to analyze this as if the stakes don't matter... but I don't know that it's appropriate to do so. You have a trips and he has 3 bucks left. Set him in and if he folds his busted flush draw, you don't have to show your hand. And if you're beat, you buy one less grande latte enema tomorrow

There's no 'U' in Moxie - you know why? The same reason there's no 'U' in castration. Think about it clockwatcher

Spoken like a true pacifist.

 

[LeLe]

From V point for view, The way hero play, he either have a 6 or 7 or a pocket pair btw 8-10.

If V is willing to re-raise u he prob have 22 or AK either way u prob still leading.

I will prob just call re-raise and no 3 bet.

@CraigT78 This made sense to me last night but this morning I have no idea why this is funny. I'm blaming the covid vaccine.

 

[AR_poker]

Agreed. Weird line by villain, but easy shrug-call against a river min-raise on this board with trips.

Unrelated question that villain's tiny stack size made me think about: is there a reason you're sitting with only ~70ish BBs?

 

[boltonguy]

I forgot to top up between hands.

 

[Jake14mw]

Yup, would never think he would call a pot size bet with 2-2, no way.

 

[upNdown]

This hand is a beautiful illustration why 22 should only be played when you’re in the big blind in a limped pot (and then immediately folded to any flop that doesn’t include two more 2s.)
