Card Player is excited to announce a partnership with the Bicycle Casino and Live at the Bike, the industry’s leading live cash game webcast.

CardPlayer.com will host the live cash game streams for all Live at the Bike webcasts (every Tuesday and Friday, 7:30-10:30 p.m. PST) and also partner with Live at the Bike for special programming.

To celebrate the partnership, Card Player will be bringing you the cash game hand of the week, featured from a past episode of Live at the Bike.

Here’s a look at this week’s hand.

The Details

Game: $5-$10, $500 buy-in uncapped no-limit hold’em
Approximate Stack Sizes: Steve ($2,300), David ($1,800) and Troy ($2,400)

Action: Steve raises to $45 from under the gun and David three-bets to $135 from the cutoff. Troy calls from the big blind and Steve calls as well. The flop comes down A 7 J and it is checked to David, who bets $225.

Troy folds and Steve calls. The turn is the 8 and both players check. The river is the 3 and Steve bets $450. David folds his K 4 and Steve collects the pot, not showing his A K.

The Questions

Should Troy be set mining out of position for 13 big blinds given his stack size? If Troy hadn’t called preflop, do you think Steve would have four-bet? After David continuation bets the flop and Troy folds, should Steve be check-raising? David elects to check behind on the turn. Are there any cards that could have hit that would have made David continue to bluff? Should Steve be checking the river and turning his one-pair hand into a bluff catcher? What hands can he be called with that are worse, assuming David continues to bet all of his aces on the turn?
