I want to reraise but the 7 is scary for me concidering PARVIN was BB and getting better than 3:1 on a preflop call. If h comes out betting the turn huge I will most likly fold. Is this a bad fold you think. After playing alot of poker I'm still trying to figure out this spot. Is it a instacall allinn? Is it a donky call? Is it a great fold?should you check call all the way down? Because there are no draws out this would be an ideal spot for him to slowplay trips vs a big King or like yuo have AA so why would he raise? To trick me mabye right Need alot of help myself for theses spots Great hand to post

Japmaster Registered at 2006-06-12 Posts: 2082	yeah these are tricky situations for sure. How to proceed depends on 1) opponents stats. The lower the AF, the more you should lean towards folding. This guy has AF3, which is what you would expect of a tight aggressive player, a 20/18 for example. This guy plays way more hands, so his hands will be weaker on average, which means he is quite aggressive relative to his hand strength. 2) board texture. If the board is very drawy, you should lean towards raising, since villain will have a draw often and you`ll be ahead of his range. If the board is dry, he will either have a made hand or a bluff, so its a WA/WB situation (you`re either way ahead or way behind), so raising doesn`t make much sense and you should lean towards calling. In this case, his range is a 7, a bluff or a king. I`m ahead of this range, so I should continue. Since the board is dry, I think calling is the best option.

I dont think I would raise the flop holding a 7 but a pretty small bet concerns me Im getting sucked in. In any case I cant fold here and with the two draws now out on the turn Im ALLIN now. Good play here or bad play?

whateverman Registered at 2009-08-01 Posts: 347	Well I just figure this is enough money and not thinking to stack him now. I am worried about hands like 89s/AQ/AJ/AK and dont want to make it cheap with my monster. If hes not made then I feel he has to pay more to beat you now because soo many cards now can make a great hand. Is it weak you think to shove here with my reasoning?
