Who raises and who calls?

Postby Nortonesque » Sat May 14, 2005 7:46 pm

Ignore the preflop limp -- I was juggling tables and thought there were a couple callers.

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with [5h], [5c].
2 folds, Hero calls, 1 fold, CO raises, 1 fold, SB calls, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (8 SB) [5s], [Kc], [Th] (4 players)
SB bets, BB calls, Hero raises, CO folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Turn: (7 BB) [Td] (3 players)
SB bets, BB calls, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls.

River: (13 BB) [Js] (3 players)
SB bets, BB raises, Hero ???

Unless BB is a gimp, he would have probably raised PF with KK. If he had TT, then he would probably pop you on the flop. It's really hard to give SB credit for either of those as well. So then there's KT or JT - and it's certainly possible either of the blinds would be playing those hands, although if you ask me, it would be more likely for BB to have one of these than it would SB. I guess I'm surprised there wasn't more action on the turn, though - which you certainly would have expected with someone holding trip T's.

With the ambiguity, though, I think boat-over-boat is a definite scare possibility here, and since BB waits until the river to raise, I'm willing to bet he's got JT. So I just call here.

Well, I decided to give one of them credit for JT or KT, so I just called. The SB showed a peculiarly played KQ, and the SB showed a slowplayed AT, and I took down the pot.

You said SB for both of them. Which had which? I think you got a little lucky with all that action but what can you expect from 1/2 limit sometimes.

My bad -- BB had AT.
