However, he might not have been lying, since the flop could well have been the fourth king and QhJh.Shrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404058806313927899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230689943504768756.post-12771396596122175642009-09-21T04:05:38.984-07:002009-09-21T04:05:38.984-07:00Maybe I misread it.

T?<br /><br />Flop: KQJ 2H 1C<br /><br />I don't think so. If it is two hearts and he holds the K then the K of clubs in your hand fell on the flop or that happened for Mr Suited with Hearts because he needs the other two and you need one of them. No way that hand plays with an honest deck. :)<br /><br />I missed it at first too. I went to put it in Poker Calculator to get an idea of what value is. Didn't work.<br /><br />We tend to throw hindsight into the mix -- even trying to be honest. You had a good hand that won on a scary board. Nice but potentially costly. Reasonable pot. Any extra action is a bluff instead of a value bet, IMO.KenPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06743029070414530606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230689943504768756.post-85676002383098418172009-09-20T23:53:22.486-07:002009-09-20T23:53:22.486-07:00Ok, I'll clarify the action.

Namely, you erred in writing about your hands. <br /><br />First off, you did 3 bet the flop (or maybe you didn't; your post is a little confusing). Also, both other players had K10? <br /><br />On this hand, you are correct that you should have 3 bet when you got check raised, although I'm not sure what you can beat here. It's a terrible flop for AK.<br /><br />When she leads out on the turn (when the 2nd J hits) it's confusing. In my mind, she either hit the J and is afraid of the straight draw or she flopped 2PR and the wrong card paired the board. Overcalling here is simply giving up and hoping another K or J comes. If you thought you had the best hand, I agree you should have raised. <br /><br />You say you missed a bet on the river but again I disagree. Based on your betting patterns, you gave up on this hand and should be happy to show down at the river for no extra bets. Anyone who calls you here has you beat (usually). <br /><br />Can't wait to hear about your 10/20 hands. That game is maniacal, but you can occasionally play defense. I agree - avoid PLO. According to Dr. Pauly, it will break your heart.<br /><br />-DrCDrChakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408654385168201338noreply@blogger.com
