Was I wrong to smooth call the turn in hopes he has AK or high ace and extract a few extra bets out of him? I had to put him on either high ace or high pocket, in which case he is dead. Correct play?

I personally would have reraised him on the turn. Only way he is ahead at the turn is if he holds 53, not likely given the action preflop. I would make him pay for his draw.

I was thinking the same thing, but with that much action what draw do you put him on?

boxcard · Dec 04,2005, 10:49 PM

I am thinking a club draw. I figure he has AK or AQ. Raise on turn could be semi-bluff.

Definately reraise.

Yes, because he's not folding on the turn anyway. Lock in that equity when you know you have the best hand. There's gonna be a lot of scare cards on the river..

No question to re-raise on the turn. There is no way the villian is folding. Maximize your potential with this hand.

He had 89 of diamonds, what a way to get the aces cracked

BTW, you provided no read on your opponent.

If you don't have one, pay more attention to the table.

It was my 2nd hand at the table, the first hand my 77 flopped set lost to a gutshot, nasty two hands! I had no read on the opponent at the time, but he was a donk and lost all my money to everyone else at the table!
