I was updating my blog with some hands when I came across this one. Figured I would throw it here and see what everyone thought.

--------------------------------------------

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (2 handed) converter

Button (t4100)
Hero (t1900)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Jh, 6h.
Button raises to t200, Hero calls t100.

Flop: (t400) 5c, Js, Jc (2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

I want to check-raise the flop, and think it will probably be an option since my opponent is pretty aggressive to begin with, but also was the aggressor pre-flop. Unfortunately he checks behind me.

Turn: (t400) 2c (2 players)
Hero bets t400, Hero does what?

I was loving this hand until the third club came. Now I'm looking at the Button's check on the flop and trying to figure out what hand he might have.

Suited over cards?
Possibly - but wouldn't he raise more pre-flop? In addition would he check the flop, or try to push me out?

Pocket 5s?
Again, this is a great hand heads up. Why would he make such a weak pre-flop with this hand?

Suited Connector (3c4c or similar?)
Does he raise with these or limp in? A check would definately make sense with these cards.

What would you put him on, and what would you do?

Push. You've already committed over 30% of your stack against an aggressive player who can have anything. We have no read, so perhaps he could be representing a flush, with nothing but 2 overcards.

I suspect an overpair, given that he's an aggressive player, but only min-raised preflop. I mean, he knows you're gonna call with any 2 at that point. Why would he min-raise with anything but a pocket pair or 2 paint cards? I suppose there are plenty of answers to that, but since we have no read other than he's aggressive, I give him the benefit of the doubt.

If you run into 55 or 22 here, so be it. You still have redraws to beat him.

Sorry, been a long day. That's all the analysis I'm capable of right now. Am I at least close?

Suited overcards: Assuming he raises 3or 4x's BB usually, then yes he would have raised more with A Q suited. Also, I think he would bet this flop with AQ suited to see where he was at before another club fell.

55: I'd leave this in. Usually, inexperienced aggressive players will slow play this hand, so the down shift on the flop may be 55. But then I don't think he bets huge on the turn.

Small suited connectors: I don't think he would raise preflop so you can throw those out.

I would also throw in J1o. JQ . Hands that people will raise preflop heads up , but would rather just take it down before the flop.

AA, KK. Heads up I find some players like to get cute with these cards and try to drag you along and extract out of you.

He could be on a stone cold bluff figuring you were just trying to take the pot down and is pushing trying to represent a J.

All that said, I'm calling because you are left with 1300 if you fold which means the next time you come into a pot, you're all in and your going to be racing unless you can catch some cards.

I said "push" but just realized that his raise sets you all in. Sorry.
His raise looks even fishier. If he were really strong, why would he push you so hard. Call.

Here is what happened:
[size=7]I called, and he flipped over JdAs. River came 2d and we split the pot.

Well I think the fact that he checked the flop and raised you when you bet screams that he has a monster or at least THINKS that he has hte best hand.

So he either has AA, KK, QQ or AJ.

I think I would still call in this situation since its heads up and the chances of him having a AJ are slim.

Anything can happen tho.
