Dear all,

Thanks for your comments. Managed to delete my first response here so leaving out early commentary.

AA - Definately live - and crazy bad players.

Now part two.

I call, and Villian shows QH 9D for flopped Straight.

I"ve tried playing it back and I"ve got no idea if I played this well or really badly on each street. The pre flop raise was standard to isolate one of the limpers. The flop check - hmm I see both arguments here? The turn I don"t think I can fold ever against this Villian? I think my reasoning for not raising is fairly sound? The river bet was not what I was expecting so I was wary but cannot fold for 34Euro as I now beat most hands in his range that bets here?

Did I lose the Minimum?

From Villians perspective - does he play it really well? I think he loses value from me by checking the flop (although I think the check is perfect here given Snappers tendency to shove). The river bet costs him as I"m probably calling more than 32 Euro? Is Villian concerned that I have a monster? Inducing a shove?

How do you play this if you are villian?

Interesting video. Not sure which of the lines I was taking on the flop - probably bluff catching.

I"m such a fish..... 

Had the BB made a smallish bet on the flop/turn with his made hand I probably would have made a very significant raise.......

he used to play on FTP before the BF farce as U2killers and u might get some insight/ideas reading his blog...


the whole point of betting a flop texture like this when u have position is so long term both your strong and weak hands will be disguised... and yes do it even against bad players because they will call with worse on this texture and if u have good reads u may even get them to raise worse as well... checking back in position on these textures with the initiative has more negatives than positives imho..

most probably... although if he can hand read to a competent std then NO....
