weird river spot

Postby MrDarling » Fri Apr 11, 2008 2:15 pm GMT

First orbit of $24k GRT on FT. Doubled up in the 2nd hand with set vs over pair.

QTo is good enough for me to protect my BB in position.
Easy call on the flop. No need to raise and get reraised.

Excellent turn.
Now now the best river for me. QJ got there and it is easily in his range.

His bet looks a lot like a blocking bet, but if I raise I have to call a shove, and what really can call a raise?

Thought?

If you raise, he shoves, and you lose, you switch chip positions, but you're still in the middle of the pack. Not so bad.

You're right about QJ being in range, but also in range are overpair and AK, right? Not so sure about A/K 10, though they'd certainly raise from SB too.

Tough spot. It probably depends what I've had to drink whether I call or raise, but I think raise is the right answer?

Anyway, I'll be interested to see others' opinions, what you thought, and the actual outcome.

raise's 411? In USA that is the phone number of information. Could be a tell.
