  • The perils of getting greedy on the river

    Posted by petvet on April 3, 2021 at 12:19 pm

    This hand is from the $11 Superstack on Party Poker. We are 8-handed Hero is in the CO and has 116bb. Blinds are 1600/3200. Action folds to us and we raise 2.5bb and get called by the BB (80bb).

    Pot 20,800 (6.5bb) Flop JcAs5h

    BB checks, hero bets 7,280 (2.3bb or 35%) and BB calls

    Pot 35,360 (11bb). Turn 6d. Board JcAs5h6d. BB checks, hero checks – my reasons for checking here are for pot control and to keep worse hands in and generally under rep my hand.

    River Td. BB leads for 27,934 (8.7bb). Hero raises 59,200 (18.5bb) with 2 pair. BB 3 bets to 149,918 (47bb) leaving 92K behind. Action is on hero.

    At the time I couldn’t think of any hand villain could have that I beat so I folded and proceeded to kick myself for getting greedy and raising the river. Be interested to know what others think.
