rusmac31 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 $25NL...6 handed...just sat down and 4 tabling so no readsStacks: Hero $25, Villian $28Hero dealt QdJh in SBVillian calls, call, call, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checksPot: $1.50Flop: 10h, 9h, 8hHero checks, BB bets .50, Villian raises to $1, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls, BB calls.Pot: $4.5Turn: 2cHero checks, BB checks, Villian bets $5, Hero raises to $23, BB folds, Villian callsPot: $50+My thoughts:Preflop: QdJh in the SB limped to me for $.15 more is automatic callFlop: I usually would lead out here for 2/3 or pot size but I figured with this many limpers a check raise would be better as my hand is definitely vulnerable and a check raise would price out Ahx. But the villian min-raise confused me so I just called.Turn: The card didn't help anyone and I figured villian would bet again so I decided I'd check raise here. The odds are he didn't flop the flush and a set or 2 pair and even Ahx would seem to play the hand similiarly.I think you can make a strong argument that I should lead that flop and turn. I'm not a big check raiser but this situation seemed appropriate...what do you guys think?Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
krup24 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Don't let the flop min raise confuse you. It can easily be AhT or KhT. I like a raise here but smooth calling and a strong C/R on the blank turn is a decent play as well. Link to post Share on other sites
NoSup4U 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'm not a huge fan of the smooth call on the flop. But, as played, I like the c/r on the turn.Mark Link to post Share on other sites
MasterLJ 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Go broke. You have live outs against any possible hand, and more often than not you are way ahead. Especially at lower stakes there are tons of players with the Ah, and sometimes Kh that will push/call a push here. Two pair calls a lot, a set calls most of the time.
