30nl rivered trips v solid reg opponent.

edited January 2013 in The Poker Clinic


Opponent is a winning 30nl player, pretty solid but not overly tight, haven't seen him spew much or get out of line too often.

Thoughts on the river please?

It's a fold now, but are we raising? Is the size ok?

No specific reads really as I haven't played him (or anyone recently) very much.

Will see me as loose aggressive.

    Check flop

    As played, yea I think it's fine to raise that river. If villain isn't capable of making huge river bluffs then you can just fold.

    call and make a note.

    I prob bet turn intending to barrell river

    call river, as played I call the raise as your line looks like some weird bluff 

    EDIT: Ignore, misread hand

    What, I don't like the above advice.

    If this is a winning 30nl player, then he's a reg.

    I dont think I can name a reg that would play a hand like this that you beat.

    Its an easy fold.

    Call and make a note is terrible advice imo. Your going to take a note that he always has it.

    lol at the sweeping generalisation that call is bad, especially given that we will be playing lots of post flop pots 200bb deep, given that we're getting sick pot odds with a much stronger hand than we'll normally have here and also given that you said "if hes a winning nl30 players then he's a reg" that's utter tosh. Very often we will be beat here, but we has trips and are getting a great price combined with other factors like history/meta/pots in the future. do cally.

    I folded. For once. 

    Why are we checking back the flop?

    The opening raiser has given up, he's probably check folding. It's a dry board so the big blind has nothing and is probably check/folding too.

    I've got a pair, position, but am probably up against 4 overcards. 

    Surely I want to bet to protect here?

    I always think people are bluffing me, as you probably know. And call far too much.

    So yes, as a winning/reg player, he will know bluffing me is a bad idea.

    But then, he knows that I know that he knows bluffing is a bad idea, so could get some credit.

    The 3b size otr is tiny, maybe he's trying to induce a shove from me, much more likely to be the case than trying to get me to fold imo.

    If it's a bluff, it's a sick play!

    But having c/c the flop OOP 3 ways, he definitely has something. So never a stone bluff imo. 

    Still happy with the fold. 

    Unless the 30nl regs have started turning top pair good kicker into a bluff otr to try and make people fold trips.

    Villain is decent, but I think only wobblylegs and maybe tatohead are capable of this kind of sophisticated play. 

    Thnx for replies.

    Probably a good fold here DOHHHH. Seems like the villian has 10s full to me.

    Unless you've seen opponent make this play OTR before I think this is an easy fold and not that close. You don't even beat any other 5's except 53/52 and they're rarely if ever calling pre.

    he prob has full house. but think u gotta make the call .u invested enough and if ya make that move every time then u will lose money long term. why did u not make a move earlier for the pot before the 5 hit on river to get more info on what your opponent was holding
