No lost value since he wasn't calling any bet on the river. At least by checking I could confirm my read (aka lame excuse for checking!).

Presto is Gold (Part 44)

A Two Outer Presto-ization
To say I have been running bad is putting it mildly. As such, I haven't played 1000 hands in the last three weeks. These hands demonstrates why:
$5/10NL, 9-handed
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Fuel55 raises $20 to $30 from EP with [7s 7h]
IDIOT IN THE BB calls $20
*** FLOP *** [3s 9d 2h]
IDIOT IN THE BB checks
Fuel55 bets $55
IDIOT IN THE BB calls $55
*** TURN *** [3s 9d 2h] [6c]
IDIOT IN THE BB checks
Fuel55 bets $95
IDIOT IN THE BB raises $47 to $142 and is all-in (like a check-raise here for $47 makes any sense whatsoever ...)
Fuel55 calls $47 (I put him on A6 at best)
*** RIVER *** [3s 9d 2h 6c] [5d]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
IDIOT IN THE BB shows [5c 5s] (three of a kind, Fives) (of course you hit your two outer moron)
Fuel55 mucks hand
IDIOT IN THE BB collected $456 from pot
Thankfully he was a short stack who dined and dashed a few hands later.
It doesn't seem to matter how good I play I just keep getting sucked out for modest-to-monster sized pots as an overwhelming favorite.
And if that wasn't bad enough, maybe you like this hand where I finally went broke in the same session:
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Fuel55 raises $20 to $30 from button with [3d 3s]
Reraising Lucksack raises $60 to $90 from BB (he is reraising from his BB about 50% of the time)
Fuel55 calls $60 (set mining 101)
*** FLOP *** [Ks Jc 9d]
Reraising Lucksack checks
Fuel55 checks
*** TURN *** [Ks Jc 9d] [3c]
Reraising Lucksack bets $180
Fuel55 raises $400 to $580
Reraising Lucksack reraises $450 to $1030 (for sure he put me on a steal which is logical since a 3 is "unlikely" to improve my hand 95% of the time)
Fuel55 rereraises $34 to $1064 and is all-in (if he has QT, KK, JJ or 99 – so be it)
Reraising Lucksack calls $34
*** RIVER *** [Ks Jc 9d 3c] [Qc]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Reraising Lucksack shows [4c 5c] (a flush, Jack high)
Fuel55 mucks hand
Reraising Lucksack collected $2310 from pot
Maybe my mistakes were not 4-betting him preflop and not c-betting flop but really I think I played the hand pretty good.
Tough to win when you are consistently getting this unlucky.

Standard Preflop Scenarios Against Standard Ranges
I urge all readers to download PokerStove. It is a very useful tool for evaluating hands vs ranges. Maybe by running a few hands you'll see how I think about situations where I am reraised.
I rarely put my opponents on "a hand" - rather I put them on a range of hands and then assess the value of my hand against that range.
In preflop scenarios where I get reraised I generally ignore bluffing and put my opponents on 1 of 4 ranges.
The ultraloose reraising range typical of top higher limit cash game players: 22+, A2s+, K9s+, QTs+, J9s+, T8s+, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, 54s, A2o+, KTo+, QTo+, J9o+, T8o+, 98o.
Against these players gambling hands like AJs, KQs, QJs and small pairs are about even money:
QJs = 49%
KQs = 51%
AJs = 61%
44 = 49%
Tightening that range up a little bit yields what I call the loose reraising range typical of late-stage tournament play: 22+, A2s+, K9s+, QTs+, J9s+, T8s+, ATo+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo.
Here the marginal hands get to about even money:
QJs = 45%
KQs = 51%
AJs = 56%
44 = 46%
KQs fairs about the same against a tighter reraising range but QJs, AJs and small pairs fall off somewhat.
Removing some of the low pairs, suited connectors, lesser aces and easily-dominated two broadway combos yields the tight reraising range of: 77+, ATs+, KQs, QJs, JTs, AJo+, KQo.
Now you are getting into very marginal situations with hands that will be very tough to play post-flop:
QJs = 36%
KQs = 41%
AJs = 44%
44 = 39%
Clearly you are getting on pretty thin ice ...
Removing more pairs, AT, AJ and modest two broadway combos yields the ultratight reraising range of: TT+, AJs+, AKo.
Here is where the most common "marginal calling hands" flatten out to 2:1 dogs:
QJs = 32%
KQs = 33%
AJs = 33%
44 = 34%
So when facing a reraise or an all-in apply a reasonable range for your opponent and ask yourself whether you want to get involved with shit hands like AJs, KQs, QJs or small pairs ...

Finally another break - this time Presto shows its magic. Same game as previous post about 10 minutes later:
*** HOLE CARDS ***

SB raises $80 to $140
Fuel55 calls $80 (set mine in position)
*** FLOP *** [5h Jd 2s]

Presto is Gold (Part 40)
In tough games you can't always be folding to pressure.
Here is another "monster or air" scenario on an XXY flop:
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Fuel55 calls $6 from UTG with [5c 5d]
MP Donkey calls $6
MP Tough Player calls $6
Button raises $30 to $36
Fuel55 calls $30 (stacks are huge so I am set mining for sure)
MP Donkey calls $30
MP Tough Player calls $30
*** FLOP *** [2c 8c 8h]
Fuel55 checks (obviously I need to check my monster)
MP Donkey checks
MP Tough Player checks
Button checks
It seems unlikely that anyone has an 8 since there are two clubs on board and they would protect.
*** TURN *** [2c 8c 8h] [4h]
Fuel55 bets $6 (weak lead to see who is where)
MP Donkey calls $6 (he has nothing)
MP Tough Player raises $30 to $36 (monster or air? - smells like a flush draw)
Button folds
Fuel55 calls $30 (not willing to give up this hand yet)
MP Donkey folds
*** RIVER *** [2c 8c 8h 4h] [Qd]
Fuel55 checks
MP Tough Player bets $48 (such a tiny bet … busted flush draw?)
Fuel55 calls $48 (crying call but I think my hand is good given my history with this guy)
*** SHOW DOWN ***
MP Tough Player shows [Js Ks] (a pair of Eights) (air …)
Fuel55 shows [5c 5d] (two pair, Eights and Fives)
Fuel55 collected $324 from pot
I really thought this guy was on AcXc where X is likely 4 but I was completely wrong. Still the read and analysis were pretty good and I won a nice pot with Presto.
If the turn was a 6 or higher and the same thing went down I would have folded in all likelihood.

Presto is Gold (Part 38) and Abusing XXY Flops
I have commented previously on using raises to represent big hands on XXY flops.
*** HOLE CARDS ***
EP raises $20 to $30
Fuel55 calls $30 from CO with [5h 5c]
BB calls $20
*** FLOP *** [7c 7h 9s]
BB checks
EP bets $50 (likely a standard continuation bet and if he has an overpair maybe he can lay it down?)
Fuel55 raises $60 to $110 (stinky pot-builder raise has to put the fear of a 7 in him)
BB folds
EP folds (to avoid being out of position for the rest of the hand he safely folds)
Fuel55 collected $192 from pot
Pretty simple and low-risk play in position.

Button and SB fold

MP folds
Button folds
*** FLOP *** [Kd 9d 9s]
