Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6707895, member: 289533"] What has caught my attention here is that several players are very deep. The player with less blinds has 500 BB deep and there is one with almost 2000 BB deep. I saw situations like this rarely and got amazed at it. Preflop fine our hands seem good to call here to see a flop and not so good to 4-bet. The flop doesn’t come perfect but the price is good and we still have equity to the turn, having a runner-runner straight draw and two overcards. The turn improved our hand and I’m raising here most of times to try to make at least one of the opponents to fold. If they call we still can think what to do on some rivers. When both players call we must put them on a range. And here some hands would simply call because it had completed a straight and they don’t want to lose value or make the pot grow by turning value hands into bluffs. SB still has TT+ and AJ+, JT+ etc. BB can have a bunch of top pairs and two pairs that decided to call. Maybe even sets wouldn’t be raising in this spot. On the river we must use the power of position and check to realize our equity. Okay, one of them might got there having two overcards that got sticky such as KQ, AJ, but both of them? If we value for bet we want at least one of them to call with a dominated hand and in this scenario is hard to happen. If we had missed river we could think about polarizing and bluffing making a big bet. If comes a king instead of a nine we would be checking behind as well. I think you should remember that hand where you had AJ and completed top two pair OTR and instead of calling you elected to raise, putting yourself in a hard position. Here follows the same situation: if we bet overcards can simply fold or they can play fancy, raise us and then we will find ourselves in a Hell because SB still has better hands that could’ve played like this and even JT, that all players could be holding. If we bet two pairs and sets will definitely call. So we check to realize our equity for we have enough showdown value and because it’s hard to get thin value out of two opponents. No matter the outcome, if we are winning or losing, we take a note on this players (or try to memorize it), and move on! Nice hand, I think you played the hand just fine. Could you please explain to us which poker room is this? And if you have any idea why all players are so deep? Best regards; [/QUOTE]
