first, i don't think your third street call is so bad given your str8 flush potential. i would definitely say it's marginal, but not necessarily bad. it really depends on the context.
anyway, on fourth street, i think you screw the pooch. a bet-fold would certainly not be bad since there is probably one guy with a four-card low the guy with the K isn't afraid of what you're bringing. if he just flatcalls, then you might think he's on a busted low draw. when he raises, though, i think you need to have a plan -- either you need to rep trips or you need to get out. to rep trips, i'd CR 5th street.
on 5th street, a likely low made it and the worst card possible hit villain's high hand. you've got no idea where you stand, AND you're most likely playing for half the pot, AND you might be getting freerolled. betting out from OOP on this board just seems cavalier. i think a check fold would be in order unless you had a read that the high villain goes crazy with one pair and no other draws.
i realize that high villain overplayed his Ks and then played his Ks up weakly, so there is a case for playing your 2pr against him might be justifiable, but there's a good chance that you were drawing to three outs and/or villain can improve to beat you.
btw, betting out on 6th was not very smart -- you were begging the low villain to squeeze you if he had the goods.Statistics: Posted by Kuso — Wed Aug 02, 2006 5:37 pm
