It didn't make sense. I think if he has AA with the Ace of clubs, he's got top pair with the nut flush draw and he goes hard on the turn. <BR/><BR/>I announced, "You've got two red Jacks," and I called. When I flipped over my A-10, his eyes got wide and he berated me, "How do you make that call?!" He mucked face down, but later told me he had two red Aces. <BR/><BR/>If I had put him on Jacks on the turn, I would have folded right there. Since I couldn't put him on a hand, it cost him. Perhaps I got lucky. If so, it's about time.<BR/><BR/>-DrCDrChakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408654385168201338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-53032810559456405292008-11-02T15:03:00.000-08:002008-11-02T15:03:00.000-08:00I've noticed that a lot of *regulars* like the all...I've noticed that a lot of *regulars* like the all-in move with a big hand. Perhaps it's because they see so few monsters in the course of grinding that they want to get the big double-up from them. Given the pot size here, his river shove was less than a pot-sized bet, giving you a shade more than 2-1 to call. I would be more suspicious if he shoved for, say, $900 on the river, but I think you are behind too many possible holdings of his. I agree with the view that he had a big PP with one of those cards being a club. Especially given the limp re-raise.BWoPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934781459474787598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-33014084204171353732008-11-02T13:23:00.000-08:002008-11-02T13:23:00.000-08:00So far, so good.

I agree that since I didn't fold to the limp re-raise (which is a viable option with A-10), I could have gotten away from a turned top pair.<BR/><BR/>But why does he go all-in on the river? So far I haven't seen him be tricky, but I've seen him be aggressive. The only other info I have is that he plays pretty regularly.<BR/><BR/>-DrCDrChakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408654385168201338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-10949267036123150082008-11-02T13:10:00.000-08:002008-11-02T13:10:00.000-08:00Oops.

Would it be out of character for him to limp-reraise with a weaker hand like 77, rather than the typical big pair?<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I like the call on the turn. My gut tells me you're behind his range, and there are only two cards left in the deck (the two non-club Ts) that you want to see. You aren't too invested in the pot, and it seems like you could get away from top pair.<BR/><BR/>His hesitation on the river I suspect is not because he doesn't have a club and is making a move, but rather sucking it up and betting his flush even though the board paired. The way you played your hand, a set is definitely in your range.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
