NL10 QTs

Posted 8 years ago

QT is in my MP open range, flop is nice and could check but with FD multiway there is some value and protection to be had. Turn I think betting again is fine but other than FD's and maybe some sticky PP's there aren't a lot that can call me that I beat. River flush draw completes so now got to slow down I think. Check fold? Small PP's aren't calling off any bets so no point barrelling and nothing better is folding I doubt.

Opens me to be bluffed maybe but is anyone ever doing that really? Feels like he has 77, Qx (and they all beat me) or FD so got to muck.

Hi paul, i like your line, river is bad but we have hand very strong so i prefer check/call in this situation, although i not see many bluff here, i think that call is good

It's really hard for you to be ahead here since villain looks tight. I don't think we ever see any worse Qx. He can't really have any floats unless he's being super optimistic. I'd fold but I would be calling Qx with better kickers.

It is true that if he somehow gets here with a bluff then you're going to get bluffed. He should have a significant amount of value hands though so even if he's betting all value hands + a small amount of bluffs a call can still be -EV.

It's unlikely that villain is bluffing any medium showdown value, microplayers just generally don't do that. So you're almost always going to be up against a better hand.

Even though this guy is super tight, I would still expect him to take this line with a flush draw on a paired board at these stakes,and value bet the river against Qx.

If he does show up with a random bluff it certainly won't be frequently enough to justify a call.

I think here, your hand is pretty strong and a check call would be the line to take if you don't want to let go, but best to take an extra moment...

The only thing is that the only draws that chase here are flush draws, on top of that... our kicker isn't the greatest. Hands like QJ, KQ may call behind.

I don't see many bluffs here really, and for that size too. Not at the micros, especially on the river. His line does kinda make sense.

So can't dislike the fold at all.
