What we had...
The holdings for yesterday's post are behind the cut. If you haven't guessed yet, please do!
I had Th4h for a medium high flush. I put SBFish on nothing, and hoped the button would too - I really did expect the button to raise if I just called. SB's cap surprised me, though, and I put my odds at about 50/50 at that point. (I would have expected him to raise a flush draw on the turn, but the cap did scare me a bit.) As it turned out, he had rivered the set of dueces (lol - always call two cold with 22 after 986 flop). Button had AA.
I like button's raise on the river. I make that play myself. When SB bets out, half the time he has some odd hand like A9 top pair on flop) that is "afraid" of a free river. After I just call, button is getting 2-1 on any raise he makes. Should he have folded after I re-raise? Hard to say. My play looked (and was) so odd...
Right after the hand, I decided I didn't like my smooth call on the river. Particularly, SB's "other" holdings for betting out are probably two pair or better, so expecting button to raise with AA or AK is really hoping for a lot. On the other hand, button may _fold_ those hands if I raise, so maybe I get the most by calling... Results oriented, of course, it worked out great - but it's possible button would have called two cold twice, too, so maybe raising would have made me the same. That is, if I decide to cap after SB's inevitable 3-bet.
