Scott3705 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 "Don't go broke in unraised pots."People say that a lot.20th hand in... So what did you show down when you doubled up. since it was so recent it would probably be very important. Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan 1 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 raise pf if you're playing. push flop if you're re-raising.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 raise pf if you're playing. push flop if you're re-raising.- Jordanwith such a strong drawing hand, do i really want to be raising this out of position? i want a lot of limpers in this pot i think. i did bet and re reaise the flop, but i do think i should have gone all in instead of just raising big time.

I dont advocate raising either in full ring game UTG, we just leave ourselves open to being OOP and reraised pre-flop. Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I wish I would have reraised all in preflop.I get the feeling he would have called anyway though. Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan 1 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 whoops, this is full ring, thought 6 max. full ring i dump. six max i'd raise/fold...yea you want to play this hand with more ppl, but still open limping utg is not something i like.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites

Scott3705 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Seriously, what did you show when you doubled up w/in the last orbit? I was serious when I said that was probably reall important here.If you're going to 3-bet this flop you should probably push. I do this with sets OOP so I'd do it w/ big draws as well.The difficulty you're encountering in playing this hand (bet sizes) is a direct result of your preflop decision to play this UTG. In full ring, I'm dumping this unless my table is extremely loose passive which I don't think many 3/6 online games are. Link to post Share on other sites

David_Nicoson 1 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Exactly this sort of action is why 89s isn't a good hand to play UTG in a full ring game. I'm not saying that you can't make money doing it, but you'll have to apply some reading skills.Pushing the flop means betting not quite twice the pot size. That's not crazy big, so I'd advocate that. You'll have to play your sets this way, too, unless the other people aren't paying attention. Link to post Share on other sites

In this case, he needs better than a one pair type hand to call a flop push. So that's what i'm sticking w/ Link to post Share on other sites
