I just finished my seventh event of the 2007 WSOP, the $3000 limit Hold 'Em. I made the money but then ran out of luck and cashed in 21st place for $7761. At my last table I played a pot against Phil Hellmuth, who still didn't know my name after four years. I reraised his early-position raise in the small blind with QQ and he raised my flop bet on a board of King-rag-rag and I just called, intending to call him down. He checked behind on the turn and I checked the river hoping he would bet. He didn't and showed Ace-Queen, well played to lose the minimum and get the free card.
If you are on the button and he is early-position how does he check behind on the turn and how could he bet after you on the river?
ReplyDeleteOops, right you are. I was in the small blind. Corrected.
ReplyDeleteQL
next time you see him, call him Phil Gordon

ReplyDeleteno wsop report?
ReplyDeleteBrody, where you at? What has Harrahs done with you?
ReplyDeleteI am confused, aren't you never supposed to check the river? Shouldn't you either put in a bet low enough so that he will call or high enough to make it seem like a bluff?
ReplyDelete1) No.
ReplyDelete2) This was limit Hold 'Em. :)
