Well Played?.......Just Lucky???

Postby Zuccala » Wed Aug 01, 2007 8:32 pm

This hand is from $2-$5 LIve. The main villian (MP2) is donktackular. I think he playes somewhere around......100% of all hands dealt.

EP limps, MP1 Raises $4, MP2 cold calls, CO 3-Bets $6 and all folds to me in BB
with the [Ac][Kc] and I cap $8 and all call (gotta love it!)

flop: [4s][Ad][8s] $40

I lead for $2, EP calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, CO raises, then I decide to 3-bet and its all folds to the MP2 who calls and the CO

turn:[9s] $62

I bet $5, MP2 calls $5 and CO folds

river:[2s] $72

I check, MP2 bets $5, I raise to $10 and MP2 folds [Ts][Th] face up

Was this a good place for the bluff? When I did not get raised on the turn, I knew he was drawing to a one card flush, it was just a matter of how high. I have seen him drw to J and 9 high draws earlier so I thought it may have been a good play. It only has to work around 1 in 8 (around 12%) to be profitable. Or was this a bad spot and I just shoud have called (no way Im folding TP for 15 to 1)

I say you got lucky. He made a poor fold in a pot that size. Then again, the line i favor (bet/fold) would likely have lost you the pot in this spot. But i tell myself i'm not results oriented so i'll stick with it.

You can use the river bluff raise against good players, not donks

All depends....against a really aggro villain I have pulled off rivered c/r's with a flush, but mostly you would lead out if you had hit for fear of the flush hitting leading villain to check behind.
