Re: The phrase "nothing you could do there.."
Out of curiousity, if the turn had come lower than a 10, at what point would you assumed it wouldn't be a chop?
A-T-A-7? A-T-A-6?
[quote:33bd510e0a="codelogic"]What do you guys think about this phrase? It's just like a set-over-set thing.."Oh you had bottom set.. he had top set.. there was no way you're laying it down."[/quote:33bd510e0a]
Generally I agree with the phrase. There are some situations that you are gonna get into where a read is impossible. Set over set is a good example, because a set reads almost exactly like two-pair.
If you have 88 in a raised pot and the flop comes A-K-8 and the pre-flop raiser check-raises you, it's pretty tough to almost impossible to put him on a set.
Imagine he's not the preflop raiser, he's just a preflop raise caller, then the read gets even harder...
Further, putting him on a set (instead of two-pair) is probably the kind of read that will lose you money in the long run when the opponent is on a steal/only has top pair. |
