Why smooth call then lead out?<br /><br /><br />FGForrest Gumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314271152182792365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-47962533921470432552010-09-12T22:34:42.808-04:002010-09-12T22:34:42.808-04:00Here are my thoughts: First, he "luckily&quo...Here are my thoughts: First, he "luckily" outplayed you, because that King doesn't hit the river and I think you can get away from the hand... or the very least, you check / call the river.<br /><br />Second, river bluff raises are fairly rare (or maybe I'm just ignorant and folding to river raises too often :-) ).<br /><br />Third, this board sets up perfectly for a JT-type hand, or a set who plans on raising the turn but becomes scared of the turned straight. TBH, I'm surprised that the CO didn't try to get more money in on the flop or turn...<br /><br />Fourth, I think most of the time, you're paying off the river raise with your running trips.<br /><br />Finally, why no 3bet to the CO steal? I'd have no problem trying to get it in PF if you get into a raising war. Your call potentially invites a BB call, seeing the flop 3-way. You'd always rather see flops HU.The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.com
