Important hand in 6pm GTD

YOUNG_GUN

i meant better sorry lol

YOUNG_GUN

Initial raiser has not been raising often so i re-raise to see how strong they are if they shove i would fold pre, been playing solid and had good image.

flop comes 1 over, 2nd pair i like my hand but think if i shove i will only get called by better so aim to check/call, as villain has checked i dont put them on a queen and aim to get them in on the  turn/riiver. the river is terrible card for my hand so am happy to check how do you think i should have played this? will post results later or tomorrow depending on feedback.

Weren't you allowed to act on the flop?

The_Don90

Donk flop.

Turn and river fine IMO

LOL_RAISE

you xx'd your name out on the flop instead of villain

YOUNG_GUN

cheers lol just testing everyones awake lol any thoughts on hand?

scotty77

I don't mind betting that flop fwiw.

YOUNG_GUN

do u not think betting flop will fold out any bluffs? also if someone attempts to go all in do we call still? tough one there imo

beaneh

why did you do what you did pre flop?!

YOUNG_GUN

i have mentioned beaneh, person was up against had only been min raising occasionally so i wanted to test how strong they were, after flop i planned to check/call or check shove

beaneh

so you used 1/4 or your stack to test them

and they called and we have no idea whats going on

that is not a good plan.....

YOUNG_GUN

i didnt raise pre not knowing what he would call with, i had feeling if he just called he wasnt as strong as me. after flop figure im probably good and best way to get in is to check/call, unfortunately they didnt they check behind

hit their card on the turn they had 89 off here so i lost to rivered straight

yb

How can you plan to c/c flop when you're in position?! :S

Don't 3bet pre if you don't want to get it in imo, as played I probably bet flop.

YOUNG_GUN

good point yb sorry must of got mixed up, i planned to check to induce bet on turn to shove give people chance to bluff at pot

lynx3ffect

you should raise for value or raise to bluff, as you raise for 1/4 of ur stack this should be wit ha view to getting it in pre....

as played you should bet that flop then shut down, i think we still get value from KJ/fd/sd, pair and sd kinda hands and if villain is tight like you suggest theres little danger of him turning his hand to a bluff on later streets so we can check turn and river safely
