nihan... at UB?

Dise

he was a fool to cap on the turn... either you were in his head or he was an idiot.

i like the turn CR as a move to have in the arsenal. it depends on the game texture, but he could easily induce a bluff and get an extra bet from a hand he beats (e.g., A9).

as for the various calls, i'm guessing you had his head spinning, so he may have thought there was a chance he was ahead. i imagine you play a lot of hands fast, so do you think he should put you on TP or better? if so, at what point?

alarms would start going off in my head when you rereraise the turn CR, but i would need a solid read to fold. too many people go nuts on scare cards with air, so...

knowing your reaction, what like would you suggest for villain?

flop bet-reraise-call (if you reraise)
turn bet-call
river check-fold

Okay this hand is the ultimate in value town. Truth be told, it seems a little too thin to even be profitable. BUT-- the mizor it was against would call down just about anything, so ehh...

Anyways, here it is. Of course its not me in the hand cuz im not tite enough to make this river valuebet.

I dunno, maybe im pattn myself on the back a little too much for this river three bet, cuz its probly not that thin. Anyways, serves the mizor right for callin me down with kinghigh. I wouldve bet my bottom dollar he had AJ there.

Preflop: UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP calls, MP+1 calls, MP+2 calls, Hero in CO( ) calls, button folds, SB raises 4 to $6, BB calls, everyone calls. Nine handed.

River is . Checks around to Hero who bets. SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls, MP folds.

Showdown:
UTG+2 has , Ace high.
Hero has , a pair of 4's.

Hero wins 17 big bets.

Is that value town?

Uhm... Thats like VALUE CITY, if the hand really went down the way you say it did.... The best part of that is the 24o limp...you sir, are a mizors mizor. (thats a compliment by the way)

I actually have a witness, my buddy who was MP+2...I got him to fold 86 on the turn.
