Limped in with A8s, 99
4x raise with AKo, 22
He is regular 4NL who multi-tables. Anyone who plays this level prob knows who this is.
Hand so far,
Just checked the 89s, I don't raise with suited connectors often at this level.
Flop comes 9 high so still bit wary as have low kicker.
Turn comes, now have two pair so think i'm ahead and bet again.
River means there is now a possible flush out there.
I think I am ahead of all his hands apart from AXs.
Do I check or bet???

Secondly im going to ask Harvey here, how is it an easy fold i cant see you thr 6 of clubs helps this opponent?
I dont like the check, cause I will defo face a bet then. Is this an awful reason to bet?
people on this site give others plays too much credit, most of the playeres are poor just look at your hand history he open limed on the button, he is prob some fish, and you can valuetown him, he will call with any pair most likely.
This player gets into the top 50 of the poker league by playing 4NL! In other words he is 6 tabling for hours on end each day. Does this change things?
the whole idea of the bet fold is that you ARE going to called by alot of hands like 9x 8x and a ton of other stuff, he is only raising you with flushes and a staright, which is why you bet to get value from the hands you beat, and they are ONLY raising with a flush or a staright, this is were you fold to a raise. Checking here is just to weak and your missing a ton of value.
nothing else needs to be said.
In Response to Re: What next?: Ok fair enough just checked back to see it was limped.
I understand your on BB here. Now its been limped, and usualy at NL4 i like to raise things up, you may have played me im not sure. Anyways, i hate limping pots, so with any decent holding, 98 can be classed as decent raise it to 12p doesnt state you have a monster, but its not commiting too much if you miss and may take it down to one opponent.
Then on the flop when you hit top pair your 3/4 bet turns into 21p. Turn bet then turns into 52.5p rounded up to 53p by the system for another 3/4 pot size bet.
Ok so if he had 45 he may still call and fish out on you. However it means you will also get paid more for everytime he fishes down and misses which will happen more often than not.
I had one the other day kind of felt for the guy, id got 3 Big hands in a row, KK AK and third AA. So very similar raises, picked up blinds and limps first 2, third time this guy said in the chat box, not 3 times in a row your getting away with it and shoved. I call with AA and he shows 92 just trying to use my image a little.
So it does work, however as youve said those that dont give a monkey are often the most dangerous because they just dont care. See my free money threads, but so often this comes back and bites you in the rear because they hit they miricle cards.
