 |
|
I've been having some issues in dealing with check raises lately. Here is an example of what I mean:
1/2 NL Cash Game
Let's say I have J-J in pocket.
I raise to $8, 4x BB preflop from middle position, and get one caller from an original checker one position before me.
Flop comes 10-7-2 rainbow
He checks, I bet $14, he calls
Turn is Q
He checks
I can do one of two things here, check or bet. Lately It seems like if I check he'll catch the A he has been fishing for on the river, and then I'm screwed on a river bet. If I bet, he makes a significant check raise, because he hit his card.
This has been real hard for me to deal with lately. Kind of a catch 22! It's kind of a no win no matter which way I go. I realize this won't always happen, but seems to be a big mental block for me right now. It may not even be pp that I have, but I have top pair and suspect a guy is fishing, but he won't go away.
Looking for suggestions or thoughts as how to handle these type situations. Good or bad, bring on the comments! |

I have a few questions, like is the type of image you give off to opponents, the image your opponents seem to be, how much does he check raise your bet for.
You seem to be afraid of your opponets having an ace and hitting their ace really bad way to think since you get paranoid. But there are other possiblities for that raise, he could have a set, a PP higher then yours, or he was just trying to slow your betting down. Read the situation correctly and eventually you'll know what to do. |
