The flop comes . The SB checks and you check, hoping to check-raise the field, but are disappointed when the Button checks behind.

The turn card is the . The SB checks again and you bet $15. The Button folds, but now the SB check-raises you to $45.

"raising is the worse option," Posted September 19, 2007 by GeorgeLuz raising is the worse option, far worse then folding. remember, its a loose PASSIVE SB. And a passive guy suddenly comes in with the most aggressive style of play (namely the checkraise). He must have a good hand here. Possibly JT, or perhaps some holding you can beat like AK (thats why you cant fold). I'd just call and probably call the river as well. Login or register to post comments

"FOLD" Posted September 19, 2007 by Trillium7 I'd FOLD and look for a better situation. A dangerous flop and turn card. A passive player is unlikely to bluff and usually only bets strong hands. The SB may be ahead with a straight, a full house or trips with a higher kicker. Two pairs or trips with a lower kicker are also possible. The hero is losing to most of these hands and the SB could also improve after the river. I would not expect a passive player to check raise with top pair. If the hero calls the turn, he may draw to a worse full house and call a larger bet on the river. Login or register to post comments
