1/3 hand at casino on 1/16

[thetrinity]

pretty boring session not really getting much in the way of hands at a fairly loose table so playing pretty tight.

around even right now, down i think 50 bucks. most stacks are fairly big i have around 350, the woman in the hand covers me barely. she bought in low and ran it up by playing very tight and making small bets into big pots, the big hand she won she flopped top two against an open ended straight flush draw that missed.

i have 45 suited on the button, she makes it 6 from middle position (had aces and made it 7 a few orbits back) gets 2 calls i call both blinds call.

pot is about 30. flop is a28 rainbow. 2 checks she bets 12, i call all other players fold.

turns another 8. we both check.

rivers the 4. she checks i bet 45.

do we like it or not?

Since she's been playing very tight I fold. You're just bluff catching her air. She fires out a cbet in a 5 way pot with an ace on the board, gets one caller, then checks the turn. It's possible she has AQ-AK and was attempting a check raise on the turn. Sometimes when players whiff on a check raise they fire out a larger bet on the river to make up for lost equity. I think if you had an ace you could consider calling because you'd catch her 99-Kk type hands, but a pair of 4's is a little too light to call imo.

raise flop, if she does have a hand you would be surprised what these players can fold

i have a gutshot to the nuts, catch the 4 on the river, which i couldnt think is any good.

i think youve misread the hand.

not sure why id do this. we are fairly deep and i have position.

also, the blinds are still in the hand at this time, if they call maybe a pot develops where i can win a big one if i can catch one of the 4 3s.

Figures with the way my day has gone. Yea... Bet something on the river . Not raising the flop. They're never calling with anything worse and the bluff would have to work a high percentage of the time for it to pay off. Impartial to the flop call.

ya i dont really see a real reason to raise the flop, im repping very little and have great implied odds if shes underplaying a monster.

if shes not, i could be able to push her out later on in the hand if she shows weakness.

[BOTSLAYER]

She bets tiny into a decent sized pot meaning she is more likely weak and winning it sooner than later is better.

IMO that matters much more than what you are repping. Otherwise you are just chasing a gutshot.

shes been underbetting big hands the whole time so i dont think shes necessarily weak.

RESULTS:

she thinks a bit and folds and shows just an ace.

i really expected her to have something like jacks queens kings or acex (leaning strongly to acex). she was not putting in much money and had run her stack up nicely so i assumed she was going to be capable of making a pretty tight laydown, she probably put me on the 8 which i would have played pretty much the same way, maybe bet a little less on the river due to her tightness.

if i really thought she had a weak hand for sure like bot suggested, then i do agree the correct play would be to raise on the flop. i still preferred calling because i really wasnt sure how strong she was at that point and i felt like it would be more obvious later on in the hand.

I like everything but the 45 bet on the river.

you only said she was betting small not the they were monsters. Clearly she is capable of folding way too many things (which is her player type) not to bluff raise the flop which will give you more opportunities to get her to fold later if she even calls.

I like everything but the 45 bet on the river.

this is why you think cash games are rigged

i did say it was a boring session. i had a set of aces and guy with 70 bucks flopped top 2, pretty easy to get it in there.
