A10s NL10 in MP v SB

Posted 6 years agoEdited 6 years ago

I think this was awful, it was just so weird and now i think i should have called and went with it on the basis that it was a weird hand.

We dont know much about this person at the table and hasnt played many hands.

During the hand I was thinking - Its going to be a all in on the river when i am raised on the turn because he has a pot size bet left if i call and just feels like he has called with suited connectors and flopped it.

hmm weird hand

just from a math-point of view that was no fold. he is giving you a waaaay to cheap price. you have to pay 15 into a pot of 70 so you only need around 18%.
i give him a range of KK, 99, AJs+, AJo+, A9 and some flushes. You have 15%. Expecting some implied odds from flushes I guess this is a call.
after all a very close spot

I'm not folding on the turn, he can have smaller aces, and some players can spew off with a king once the ace pairs, especially if he has a heart to go with it. You raised him on the flop, are you folding if he re-raises?

Think I would prefer to just call his donk on the flop (unless he's doing it a lot) and then the pot is smaller and we can get to showdown cheaper

I think i folded because i have been the guy with the second best hand quite a bit recently rather then thinking about the logical stuff

@daveo , that's naughty naughty thinking imo! Worried I suggest working on trying not to let past hands results influence your decisions for the next ones. Treat each one independently of the last, not easy some days I agree. Doh!

I like (for 'like' insert 'love') raising donkbets very often, but I think I would call this particular flop texture with this combo, raising is a bit juicy for my taste and doesn't look like a confident sizing anyway to me.

Agree with AshVIP in that I'd call the turn for the small sizing to get to showdown if I can.

+1 to the flop call. Raising donkbets is great, on most boards. This ain't one of them. Plus you have to raise enough to matter, a clickback qon't scare anyone at this level.

We're basically sitting with one of the worst hands we can continue with otf. I understand the merit of charging draws, but tbh I'm playing this one as small as I can.

Pre: Standard.

Flop: Why are we raising here? It doesn't seem to accomplish too much. Absolutely trivial call.

Turn: Tricky spot now, mainly tricky due to our flop raise though. If we've called the flop and villain checks to us we have an easy bet, but by bloating the pot we've made things far more awkward. I'm still on board with betting, but it's a lot closer now. When we get min raised I'm calling and evaluating rivers.
