Folding Aces @ NL4

edited May 2012 in The Poker Clinic
OK i know ive included the river here but i htink that is pretty irrelevant although maybe im commited im not sure, hense why i kept it in. My main talking point here is the turn.

Reads on Villian: Hes been pretty active, lot of the limp calling stuff. Looks like a standard NL4 player. This is however the first time hes limp called v me, usually he limp folded. Then this meaty little situation arrived.

    Yeah, reraise at turn at this level is nomally a really bad sign, and at the river you are beating nothing he could be reraising with other than a wierd play with some other PP. So even though getting 4:1 i think its just a waste of another quid to call it.

    I think you played it really badly after the flop to be honest. If you're that committed you've GOT to shove for the remaining 92p at this level. If not then you should have folded after the turn re-raise. I'd pretty much put him on the house but you've got to shove or fold the reraise on the turn IMO.

    Pre flop at this level against uber limpers your raise should be at least 24p too. I usually go for 32p which makes your flop bet much much bigger.

    EDIT: Ok maybe once you know you're beaten on the river then maybe the fold is good at that point but i still think you shouldn't be getting to the river.

    I probably stick another 4p on the raise size pre, I don't think your raise size is wrong, but that extra 4p means we get an extra few pence whenever we click the 3/4 pot or pot button on later streets too so it's something to consider. Every little helps :)

    Flop fine.

    Either shove or fold turn when min-raised

    As played, you're beating nothing on the river so fold is okay.

    In revision to my last post i'd just like to add that if all your other raises are 20p then some might think that you should keep it the same size.

    The thing about this at this level is that i would say 95% of people wouldn't notice anyway but all your raises should be at least 24p. I've seen people willing to limp at this level even at that which is why all my raises are between 24-36p at least.

    Definite fold on river in my opinion. Could fold the turn even if player is fairly straight forward.

    He could easily min raise a Q on turn honesty i was snapping on any non Q river. The Q changes everything even if we where good v Qx hes got there, we now only beat a bluff.

    he coulda had middle pair and hated the river so bluffed what do i know min raise = strength does look like a king

    gotta fold river

  • edited May 2012
    v standard loose passive fish fold turn

    I'd probably raise a bit more OOP pre but not awful.

    Flop standard.

    Turn minraise really is often a sign saying I have a King, just can't see a Q or similar doing the same. Sucks to fold here but I probably lean towards that option.

    River now is fold but any other card would obvz be call.
