Yer Gonna Rove My Nuts! (Part 9)

Despite this virrain being on the nitty side, I managed to hoodwink him into committing himself drawing pretty thin:


Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 8 players - http://www.thehandconverter.com/hands/250963
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

MP2: $71.25
CO: $9.25
BTN: $52.30
Hero (SB): $54.90
BB: $20.00
UTG: $50.00
UTG+1: $70.90
MP1: $11.25

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is SB with Ad Ah
5 folds, BTN raises to $1.75, Hero raises to $6.50, 1 fold, BTN calls $4.75

Flop: ($13.50) 2s Qs 9c (2 players)
Hero bets $9, BTN calls $9

Turn: ($31.50) 6c (2 players) (Pretty standard up to this point with me 3-betting the nuts preflop and c-betting a Q-high draw-y frop. I think the turn is a good spot to check/raise all-in because 1) Since the board has draws on it, a lot of the times that I'm checking this turn I'm giving up and folding, 2) I don't think he'll call 3 streets with less than a Q, so I don't lose much value by him checking back, say, JJ 3) If he has some sort of draw or float, he'll probably bet the turn if I check, so I don't worry too much about giving a free card.)
Hero checks, BTN bets $27.50, Hero raises to $39.40 all in, BTN calls $9.30 all in

River: ($105.10) 3c (2 players - 2 are all in)

Final Pot: $105.10
BTN shows 8h 7h (Queen Nine high)
Hero shows Ad Ah (a pair of Aces)
Hero wins $102.10

Did not expect him to peel the frop THAT light!! He did pick up an open-ender on the turn, but peeling the frop with 8-high no draw is pretty roose. As I said, I am folding a lot of the time I check this turn so it's not terrible terrible...but I don't think I check it THAT often - I will be double barreling it quite a bit. I definitely got furr varue out of that part of his range by checking here though, and I don't think I rose too much varue when he has a decent hand.

Great example of using the CR to get maximum value. Nice hand, sir!
