ok, I find I get myself into trouble in spots like this...I've been trying to play the MP donk for a while now because he's really bad and it was noticeable. Now, the button really hasn't gotten out of hand at all and seems to be playing a conservative game. My question is what is the best course of action on the flop...1)fold 2) call and reconsider after the round is over or 3) raise and fold to a shove [we're deepstacked here and originally I put the button on QQ< and AK and was calling with JJ for implied odds especially that the calling station MP called his 3 bet as well and we were all deepstacked....thoughts?


Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($259.70)
MP ($329.50)
Hero ($477.70)
Button ($475.25)
SB ($208.40)
BB ($172.10)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J, J.
1 fold, MP calls $2, Hero raises to $9, Button raises to $32, 2 folds, MP calls $30, Hero calls $23.

Flop: ($99) 8, 7, 2 (3 players)
MP bets $30, Hero ??

one thing interests me about this hand. What would MP bet out with on the flop, but just call button's raise preflop? If he's slowplaying and trapping with aces or kings or a set then why wouldn't he check and let button bet out? I think you are ahead of MP, whatever he has. I'm putting MP on queens at the highest, but he's probably got overcards and is just taking a stab at this pot. As for button, I dunno. I say call and watch what button does, but I might decide to raise to 100 on the flop too.

I guess I forgot to mention but MP's range is HUGE, he is a HUGE fish and can easily have 56s here or even 69s here..

Yeah I'm going with raise to 100 fold to the button's push, with a bet and raise in front of him he'll tell you exactly where he is.

Id like to raise to 100-120 and if the button moves in we can feel good about folding.

EDIT: i guess i type to slow

Try balancing your range by beating her when you had a good day too.
