Another Incident in Texas Poker

If you're up 11k, you should be playing 2/5 or 5/5. Competition is virtually the same....short buy like Bart says until you get comfortable. I was apprehensive to move up, but once I did, it was quite obvious I should have done it much sooner.

I think the sizing of his river bet makes it a fold. As Bart pointed out if the hero makes it a blocker size bet then gets jammed on it opens up the villain potential bluffs. It's rare to see a guy at the higher levels bluff into a big river bet. For the same reason the hero found the call button. That all in screams value.

[@1vailchris]

Agreed. Even if hero block-bet river, villain raised pre, called hero's flop x/r, and called hero's big turn bet. Hard to believe he'd suddenly decide to jam over top on the river as a bluff, given the action. If villain's bluffs are so not-obvious that you struggle to find them, he's probably not bluffing.

[@joet7760]

I played on the stream at lodge last august. They told us that they wanted us to get escorted out by security when we left because they had someone who was playing on stream a short time before this and apparently there were some bad guys watching the stream and saw how much someone won, had his clothing description and knew what he looked like from the steam and they robbed him outside.

Texas has a law that confers an automatic criminal trespass (not a warning) on anyone carrying in an establishment with a properly posted sign. The only 2 rooms in Texas I've played at both had this sign posted. If you want the government to do anything, have them get rid of this absurd law. Require that owners of businesses still have to ask you to leave if they suspect you of doing something they don't like. And make the business owners aware that customers won't tolerate them using carrying as one of those things they don't like.

This is the very reason to exercise your God given right to arm yourself. There would be a lot less crime in this world if everyone did this. Who, honestly, relies on someone else for their safety? When you truly can't. USSC has ruled many times that police are not obligated to protect you. They even show it with their behavior since their safety is more important than yours. Grow a pair. Arm yourself. Protect God and country, foreign or domestic (that does include from officials/officers) for the love of your fellow man. Don't rely on others.

[@mossopdtq]

Texas poker rooms are still in a gray area of the law. Yes, the Houston DA screwed it up but it shows that “the Law” could go after the poker rooms if they really wanted to. It’s why Texas poker is only in the metro areas with DA’s willing to look the other way. Very few, if any, poker rooms anywhere else in the state.

[@stephenwoodworth2590]

There’s a card room in almost every city from Dallas to McAllen, Beaumont to El Paso. Even my home town Corpus Christi has 2 and it is only 300k people. Poker is all over Texas

[@mossopdtq]

300k people is a lot of people!!! A lot. Yep. You are correct on poker rooms, to a certain extent. Locations mainly are along the interstate arteries; large population centers where DAs have higher priorities than chase gray area poker sites. Where I live, though, there are no poker rooms within 2-and-a-half hours. Non in Abilene or San Angelo; one in midland (3hours); couple in Lubbock (4hours); one in Amarillo (6hours). So, you live along I-35 or big cities, there’s probably a poker room within a couple of hours. Still a gray area according to the law in Texas. And the Houston rooms trying to push changes in the rake are likely to ruin it for everyone.

@CrushlivePoker - if hero bets $450-$500 on river, and villain jams, is hero supposed to fold or call? Is checking really never an option here, when villain might want to bluff on this river card? Say hero checks, and villain bets 2/3 pot ($850-$900). Hero can bluff-catch with his straight, and win more than he would if villain called his block bet, or lose less than he would if he block bet then called villain's jam, or if he just check-folded to an over-bet. How often is villain going to check-back on the river after he raised pre, called hero's flop x/r, and called hero's big bet on turn? What is he checking back with that's worse than hero's straight and would call hero's value bet?

[@pot_kivach160]

Combo draw, again!! River jam did not sound like a bluff to me, but what was it? Some players could do the same with a set, or even with top pair (AA, KK)? A7h or A3h are the only hands I'd put V on. Well, good enough to fold, I guess. It's all player profile dependant. In order to fold here, one has to know the V profile.

[@no1ghostrider]

For the hand break down - 7 x of hearts - I was thinking A/ 7 of hearts. If he had A of hearts 7 of spades than bravo. 7 x hand just calls, I don't think anything else other than a really sticky A/5 of hearts gets to the river

@bart crush live poker you know the owners of the Austin room there's three owners and even the one down here in Houston (bill) they don't run it like the Austin room or the Dallas one I told him because of the way people get treated in that place on top of the security being so low thats was going to happen and the way the dealers and the staff well most of them treat people I'm surprised it didn't happen before I told them yinz are crazy people are going to get upset and flip but like I said if it wasn't so much money I wouldn't go it's not safe specially when they paid brad Owen to promote it it got bigger then what can be handled there with the little security guard they have

[@1vailchris]

Seems like villain has all the nut flushes and combo-draws in his range. He could open pre from the HJ and call the flop x/r and large turn bet with all of them. When hero just flats pre, he's really removing all the best AX flush draws from his range. Hero's x/r on flop and large turn bet make it look like 2-pair, sets, or flopped straights, plus maybe something like bottom or middle pair with a flush draw, like Ah4h. I'm surprised villain jammed over the top with just the 9-high flush. Seems like it would just be a call. But as played, villain has so few bluffs when he jams over hero's river bet. Even getting 3-1, when you're struggling to find your opponent's bluffs, you should fold.

[@a_canal]

Hard to find bluffs when the one liner on the river comes in. Not being results oriented. 79hh was the first value hand I thought of

[@1vailchris]

I was thinking Ah5h. Surprised villain jammed with just a 9-high flush. I'd be worried hero had Ah4h. With villain's hand, I'd just call.

[@1vailchris]

Is it just me - doesn't 9h7h seem pretty wide to open in HJ, then also call hero's x/r on flop and big turn bet? Not that I love hero's play here, but I definitely don't love villain's flop call, turn call, and river jam. It seems somewhat spewy, no?

[@michaelpreminger4259]

TBH I think this is a coinflip river decision. The bulk of our range here is straights, so we have got to fold some of them, but we can't fold all of them. No straight we can hold (other than Ah7x) has blocking properties to the flush, so just randomize. Interestingly, if we had bet small on river, and villain jammed, we'd be getting a much worse price so we can start to fold more straights.

[@khangbob]

If it was an 8off he lost anyway

@@adampawlowski4303 The problem with hands like 10-7 is that all your flushes are so easily dominated, all your made straights are so obvious, and a lot of your straights are going to be second best (like when your opponent has 9-7 here, or when you lose to QT when the flop is 89J).
