  • River raise?

    Posted by fivebyfive on October 9, 2023 at 9:30 am

    So this is another blind vs blind play. I’d say this is one of the weakest parts of my game, or at least where I often get into the most trouble. We are 30bb effective and 15 away from the money. SB opens to 3.5bb. We defend w 44. Flop is 7s6s3h. Villain bets 2.5bb. We call. T is Qh. V bets 6bb (we could fold here, should we?). We call. R is 5d. Pot is ~25bb and we have 18 back. V bets 4bb. Are you raising here? Cause I did and he had 89hh 😢

    It seems that the SB is playing more aggressive than optimal and the BB is playing less aggressive than optimal. It is hard to put SB on a hand like 89s. That is a hand that likes to limp call rather than raise pre and face a potential 3! Unless villain assumed you would play passive most of the time. Your hand plays well as a re-shove in the BB vs SB open. As played, yes, I raise here. Villain has plenty of hands that we can get value from. It’s unfortunate that villain had a hand that was ahead.
