Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6783838, member: 397965"] Just want to add, that neither player should really have the straight flush here. Normally KJ of hearts would be a 12 out draw on a board with AT and two hearts, and it would make sense to play the hand aggressively to get fold equity and build up the pot for the nuts. However in this situation when there is a bet, a raise and a call, KJ of hearts rarely has more than 1 out to a straight flush. So from the Villains perspective he should check back the turn and try to get to showdown. K high has showdown value on a board of AATT, and its a reasonable hand to use to catch some bluffs on the river, beating for instance counterfeited pairs (22-99). And if he did bet and got raised, it should be a snap fold. Of course we can not rule out completely, that the opponent bet the turn with KJ of hearts and then called a raise, because he just could not get himself to fold a one out draw to the royal flush. But mostly he is representing AQ and TT, which mean, we only lose to 4 realistic combos. Normally I would not advocate folding, when so few combos beat us. But as I said already, this is a very specific board, where its very easy to figure out, what Hero has, and nothing other than AQ or TT makes sense for Villain to play like this. The hand was also 155BB deep, which is something, you more commonly see at Zoom. And this for me at least makes it a lot easier to get away. If it was 100BB deep, it would only be $1,4 more for Hero to call rather than $2,5, so he would be getting better pot odds, and in my opinion it would also be somewhat more likely, that the opponent might be overplaying another AX, so that Hero can call and chop. But with this extra stack depth in Zoom games more often than not a massive overbet on the river is the pure nuts. Just out of curiosity I would love to hear, what Hero actually did, and if he called the results :) [/QUOTE]
