Fubar The Sperm 1 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 So everyone folds to me and i'm a little sad because I want action. I don't like limping and giving the blinds afree chance to out flop me. I also find people at these limits often think the button raise is a bluff. I decide to bet pot and thankfully get reraised by the BB. Whats my line here? He's got a little over half a buy in. No reads. Do I want to just call and hope he takes a stab at it on the flop, a min reraise or small reraise or a normal sized reraise. I'm not too convinced he has a very good hand with the way it has played out so far.Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $0.25/$0.508 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $49.25UTG+1: $65.05MP1: $39.40MP2: $52.25CO: $61.05hero: $89.05SB: $14.50BB: $28.20Pre-flop: (8 players) hero is Button with A A 5 folds, hero raises to $1.75, SB folds, BB raises to $6, hero ?

Acid_Knight 2 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 This would be the perfect spot to trap him. You're heads up and you know you've got position.If you don't wanna do that, I'd reraise to $13$ or something and I think there's a good chance that he'd push here. It's less likely he's making a play IMO becuase he's got a short stack, will be OOP for the whole hand and made a sizable reraise preflop.NL ring games are not games where you need to defend your blinds. If he's doing it for that reason, he won't be around for long anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

At least at these limits. Link to post Share on other sites

At least at these limits.I probably call.So he has $22 left and a $13 pot on the flop.As long as he doesn't make a retardedly weak flop bet, we're getting it in on the flop, and he's almost always calling. GL.Position is a wonderful thing. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I think this is one of the few situations raising is EV- many times people do this at this limit with crazy hands, there is no need to 3 bet and let him know you have a real hand. Link to post Share on other sites
aucu 3 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 You are in the best situation you can, play it any way you want you got it all, re-pop PF or better probe bet the flop you should be able to get him all in. Link to post Share on other sites

Before reading anyone else's responses to this, BB is going to take a stand with this hand. He's raised to $6 with a .50 blind. Re-pop to $12 and call his all in. Link to post Share on other sites
dms26 3 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 It's a great spot to flat call and let him lead the flop for most of his stack. If he hits the flop not much you can do. Link to post Share on other sites
