Swift_Psycho 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 $4/$8 LHE live: Table is somewhat passive, with players often refusing to raise most hands pre-flop.I'm dealt in SB.Four limpers to me, I raise, BB folds, four limpers call.FLOP: I check...Check/fold is just standard here right? With 4 opponents and two overcards, I don't bother putting another dollar in the pot, do I? Also what if there was only one overcard? Should I play it differently in that case?

Should I play it differently in that case?I think c/f is the only play here, yeah. I like the follow-up question; That's definitely the way you should think about situations. I think that it obviously depends on the over, but with only one, I'm probably betting and then deciding on any flop but like a monotone board of a suit we don't have.

DinkDonk 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 So in the hypothetical situation with only one overcard on the board (let's say it's either an Ace or Queen, if your answer changes then give both) and I bet and get raised on the flop...do I peel or just muck on the flop?It depends on the player and overcard, but in general I'm much more likely to peel on a K or Q than an A, because it's just much more likely that we have the best hand, considering the passivity of our average oppponents. It also depends on specific opponent. Obviously we call down vs. opponents who bluff or semi-bluff very often, but vs. guys who raise only with a narrow value range we can certainly just fold the flop. With one overcard, we're definitely get into the vague "play poker" realm and have to consider the situation rather carefully. With two overcards in this spots, I think it's a very simple check-fold. It's just important to have a feel for as much information in the situation as possible and make good decisions from there. Link to post Share on other sites
pokerinc 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 In this spot I'm betting the Q always, almost never the A. Both is c/f.You have two jacks so you cut down the QJ combo severely. QA in theory should raise (I know it's limit so bleh..) but still you'll see q combos so much less on a lone over board than you will a9off or whatever junk chase the ace players are calling with.

I'm leaning towards the former personally I think. Link to post Share on other sites
