Weird line (1 Viewer)

[joker80]

Playing at our local casino and bought in about an hour ago. Still sitting on a starting stack of about 275. Blinds are 1/3. Folds around to me in the hijack and I have. I always play really tight/nit like so I decide to mix it up and raise to the standard raise at this table of 15$.(I know this is a fold pre flop )Folds around to the big blind who is sitting on 200 and he calls. BB is a young 25 year old male, seems competent, somewhat looser preflop, willing to play for stacks.

Flop comes . I know we are betting, action?

Did he check?

 

[BigToeMike]

Check flop. Bet 1/4 of the pot turn - larger if a connector is the turn. Bet 1/2 pot river.

 

[joker80]

Oh yeah, checked to us in position

 

[Burke]

Assuming he checked, bet $25 with one chip

 

[toynoob]

I'm not scared of much here, $20 seems right, I want a call. More may scare him and less seems like not extracting enough value. Be cautious of course of a 3rd straight card on turn.

 

[joker80]

No use in belabouring this part of the play. I bet 25 dollars with 5 reds and BB calls . The turn is a and the board is now . Checked to us in position again . We are probably betting.... how much?

 

[Beakertwang]

Unless villain is extra sticky, I doubt you're getting 3 streets of value, except for AQ, maybe KQ. Might as well fire at turn. $60 seems good to me.

 

[Jonesey07]

$55.

 

[BigToeMike]

After the turn bet 1/3 pot - leaving him enough to come over the top by going all in.

 

[joker80]

I bet 50 $, BB calls. He is looking at me perplexed/questioning my play. The river is a and the board is ..... Villian jams his remaining stack in. WTF???

 

[Burke]

I think I’d place a pot sized/overbet of $80-$100. If he folds that’s ok. If he raises you get stacks in. If he calls then hope to checkdown most rivers unless you fill up.

 

[Jonesey07]

My chips would almost beat his to the middle.

 

[rimmerryan]

anywhere between $50-60 is probably good here.
i am guessing here, but they are probably playing a Q or J-10 with a straight draw.

 

[Burke]

Yeah snap call

 

[Lemonzest]

I think Villain has pocket 33s. Don't worry you played it right by calling.

I thought this as soon as the flop was posted lol.

 

[trever]

When a competent player who is willing to play for stacks fires a pot+ bet into a nit on the river, it isn't because he wants a call.

When a mediocre player jams the river, it's because he's excited about his hand and is scared you'll check behind.

Realistically speaking, there just aren't that many hands that he could reasonably play like this. He could be doing a weird slowplay with a set, maybe Jc8c is his "lucky hand", or he caught bingo with his Q10. But mostly he's got worse made hands and bluffs.

 

[Jonesey07]

It actually wouldn't surprise me if he hit his set on the river.

 

[softchewy]

I think Villain has pocket 33s. Don't worry you played it right by calling.

my thought also, this line can make sense.. still calling unless you have some solid read.
I would expect pocket 9s or 10s is a re-raise pre flop.
it's possible he called with KJ pre flop, but can't see being that sticky looking for the 4 or 7 outer (if they think hitting a K puts them ahead)..

 

[Burke]

Yeah I don't think I could not call. I'd expect 333 to check-raise the turn too. I think pocket 10s may just call pre-flop OOP against a nit

 

[joker80]

Well, the whole line didn't make sense to me. What do you call flop and turn with and jam into the aggressor that does not have me beat? I folded. I do not know what he had. Consolation prize, the very last hand of the night there was a UTG straddle to 6$. I was in UTG 2 with about a 235 $ stack and see pocket queens. I raised to 25 $ and got 4! callers including the villain. Flop was 3 undercards, I bet 100, villain jammed. I called and took it down against his pocket Jacks. I felt better about that fold after that last hand, but still don't know if it was correct
