Please explain this one. Villain limp-called MP. Jx is in that range. Jx is in almost every range.
Or do you mean that Villain should have attacked YOU with a capped range? But even then, you opened late to a limp table. Your range isn’t all that capped. You have AJ, KJ, QJ, JT, even J9s all day here.
Villain went 1/2 pot - 1/2 pot - Check. How often do you think he is donk betting flop and turn only to check a straight on the river? He is capped to a set at best, and as played, more likely is just trying to hold on with a pair.
Bombs away!
Maybe it’s the stakes but often when I run into someone who slows down when the draw comes in, they’re slow playing it - but I see what you mean.
The most profitable is the opposite. When they flat-flat you and the draw busts and you bet your air or weak made and they fold like a deck chair. (I LOVE that, hehee)
I love reading both your post as they are very intelligent ( i am basically illiterate as you know by now )…It is the weekend, you 2 need 2 get out and have some fun-maybe even with each other:)..Even aww older ppl. like me have fun lol-when wife gets home from work- it is off 2 dinner, dancing at a club -and then the casino ( wife for slots n me awwww poker:) )… Enjoy your evening my friends.

The limp-call preflop doesn’t imply a premium hand. The flop was a great one to semi bluff with, flush draws, inside straight draw or a weak Qx fit the story, the turn is also a great spot to continue the semi bluff with a disguised half pot value. But you quickly calling both streets tells the story you suspect they are on a draw and you have a made hand. The 10 on the river is a very scary card if you were on a flush draw or have Qx or other single pair. Checking there is either a trap or the white flagg. A quick bet 2x pot confirms the latter and minimizes the damage if was a trap and he check jams. I’m thinking he had a flush draw and was trying to make a play.
On the one hand, he can be trying to avoid a check-raise. On the other, he can be luring you into a trap. I don’t disagree with being aggressive, though. It’s up to him to know your range, too.
He had first action, so he can’t be worried about a check-raise
Okay, sure. I stand corrected. He still may not want to be raised.
Absolutely, I agree. That’s why I think it’s a good spot to attack - because it seems unlikely that Villain has an invulnerable hand here as played.
Calling stations cannot be bluffed away, even they hold a middle pair, or even worse a back door 2nd best flush draw and back door flush draw.
@Gezaclanismo my friend we had this discussion already! Remember that ring game session I played with you last year to prove you can even bluff the stations?
But you must pick your spots carefully, and usually you have to go more than 1.5x pot!
I can understand that perspective. The question I have is how invulnerable is his hand? You can beat a bluff, but I’d have to know more about him to decide whether or not he wants you to call.
