What Line Would you take?

Yea wish I hada cn this earlier.  Totally dependant on ur stack size on the river.  If I had 120+ then I am probably betting £32 and then maybe folding to a chove depending on the player.  Any less Im def prepared to get it in and hope Its the best hand in which case I probably lead £50 and am committed.

As played I think he gave u a good chance to get away as there is very little he value-over-bets river w/ that u beat, esp when he is firing w/ 3 to act behind him.  I dnt think he bets £70 w/ jacks up.  That said...very player dependant also and u have previous info on him which may affect.

On another note - clearly hate how he played the hand!!  ???

manchestercarl:
Marty- thanks for the comment- but how do you hate the way he played the hand.

He bet when he had a made hand, and is only beat by the flopped flush.  It is surely right to think it unlikley that someone would check a flopped flush on all 3 streets- he is last to act in the hand and has a fairly well disguised hand.

I like the overbet, as anybody with a set (or maybe even 2 pair, if they put him on a bluff) is just as likely to call an overbet as they are a small "value" bet.

overbet for "real" value is a tactic that appears to work very well in live cash!

AMRN:
i love his play - just dont really like the fact that he got there for free, but the bet on the end is excellent. as you say, anyone willing to pay a small value bet in this spot is just as likely to pay an overbet.

antthecat:
depends on how tight the table is i would try to see the flop as best as i could with 45s but if you bet the turn(no one had interest on the flop) and you may have took it down there and then. he would not have called with the possibility of a flush and you would have had a nice stack, with your hand on the river i would have called his bet and kicked my rear all the way home, so u did not make a terrible call, you had a set.

Marty719:
I think the overbet allows ppl to get away from some hands that will otherwise pay him off.  I think if he bets £45 e can get paid by a much wider range.  Theoretically the way he played the hand, the only hands that should be calling him should have him beat a large % of the time.  I think he is losing value in the long-run w/ the overbet, although this time it works as he manages to hit his gin-card.
