This is Why We Don’t Shove Our Draws
March 26th, 2010 | Author: foucault
Yesterday, I posted a hand where I paid a price for not blatantly jamming a big draw and discussed some of the pros and cons of playing big draws this way. Another reason not to go for the last bet when you have a big draw is when you believe your opponent will get the money in with a dominated draw if you give him the illusion of fold equity. Thus, I’m very happy to raise the nut flush draw in this spot and get the money in on the flop. Or, as happens here, to snap him off on the river:
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold’em, $10.00 BB (6 handed) – Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Button ($1106)
SB ($1413)
BB ($1030)
UTG ($1383)
MP ($1015)
Hero (CO) ($1000)
Preflop: Hero is CO with 2♦, A♦
2 folds, Hero bets $30, Button calls $30, SB calls $25, 1 fold
Flop: ($100) 5♣, K♦, 8♦ (3 players)
SB bets $40, Hero raises to $120, 1 fold, SB calls $80
Turn: ($340) Q♣ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks
River: ($340) 2♠ (2 players)
SB bets $250, Hero calls $250
Total pot: $840 | Rake: $3
Results:
SB had 7♦, J♦ (high card, King).
Hero had 2♦, A♦ (one pair, twos).
Outcome: Hero won $837
