mjd 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hero raises or folds. Tending to fold because of possible action behind and the fact that SB reraised you preflop and lead into you. Though you must consider SB's bet might be a blocking bet with AK or 99, you might get sandwiched by the button. And, if you fold, you'll probably get an easier hand to gain chips later.-M Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hero raises or folds.it's a Push or Fold.Fold here.Your preflop raise telegraphed your hand.TT-QQ, typical ~5x BB raiseWhich tells me SB is not worried.SB min raised and leads into a draw heavy board with a come hither bet.Meh, it could be a poorly played AK (min raise preflop).. but AA/KK is too likely here for my tastes.The call of the raise preflop was automatic for set value if nothing else.If SB was raising a lot with marginal hands, I could push this preflop, especially if I had made a raise to 60-80 preflop and still had the caller.But, probably not, under most circumstances.

The Nuts 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Well, I laid my hand down and the button raised all in. BB called and the button flipped over TT while BB flipped over the other two jacks.I just didn't want to believe I was playing scared by folding. Link to post Share on other sites
