3/6 low limit, chase the ace game in Reno

Postby Danhdan » Tue Feb 28, 2006 6:46 am

The blinds were only 1/2 and $2 to limp in, and half of my opponents would chase with anything, so I try to maximize pots sometimes even if it will burn me in the end...is this a good play?

I have [Kh][Kc] in SB.

Six callers to me and I raise to $5(betting is normal after the PF limp, so raises are by 3 now). All call.

Flop is [Ks][6c][3c] ($35). I bet out, four callers.
Turn is [Ad]. I check, BB bets out, call, fold, call, and I checkraise. Thoughts? I'm starting to think it's better to maximize pots when you have an amazing hand at low limit or when you have a good draw too...seems worth it for all the suckouts the other times.

I usually play the El D. and stay at the Silver Legacy. I hate that the poker room allows smoking on graveyard, so if I plan on playing past 2am I go to the Peppermill. In Nor Cal, the only place that I know that does a % rake is Jackson Rancheria, but it is 18+ so it is very laggy. Colusa used to take a % rake, but not any more. The Oaks used to do time collection for low limits, but now it is a ridiculous drop, and last time I was there they raked an uncalled bet, so I argued with the floor then I immediately cashed out and haven't been back.

I have done very nicely at the 3/6 and 4/8 games at the El D. [shameless plug] See my journal for the bitch of a swing that I have been on lately at B&M LHE, and why I started to play pot limit omaha and have not played any hold em for the last three days. I am headed up to Reno in 3 weeks when the WPT world poker challenge is in town. Hopefully my swings will be on the uptick at that point. [/shameless plug]

Again, you played this hand perfectly IMO.

I like the way this was played. If only another ace had come on the river, then you could have some real fun!

Golden 1, you are too right. I've seen a hand where 1 guy bet the river with the board, one guy raised with the board and the original bettor called the raise...WITH THE BOARD. Board was KK66A too... :shock:

They don't care about what other people could have, just what they have. And that's why I love it...plus many other reasons.

EDad - thanks for the info...I've not the guts to get into that 4/8 game sadly...every time I go there, it's seven people in capped preflop hold'em. Sickos. :wink: Thanks for the infor on the Cali places. Cashe Creek is looking very nice nowadays. And when you drive up to Reno, there is a card place off highway 80 in Auburn at Foresthill and Bowman exits on the north side of the freeway. It's connected to a mexican restaurant and behind a gas station off the freeway not more than a block. They have NL tables going there and a normal crowd now, so if you feel like stopping on the way to Reno if you drive, it's not that bad.
