outsider13 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I probably commit to this flop. You don`t really see many weak A limp from UTG, or strong A for that matter. I`d probably overbet the pot and try to take it here. Link to post Share on other sites
copernicus 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Bet 250, call a flop reraise/push. Bet 1/2 pot on the turn, fold to a reraise if its a heart or a straight card. Check/fold the river unless improved. Link to post Share on other sites

Check/fold the river unless improved.Would you bet 1/2 pot on the turn? This is basically a push, no?Also, wouldn't you want to take this on the flop? Realistically, the only hand you are beaten by is 55 or 99. You shouldn't see an A limping from UTG ever at this blind level. With the flush and gutshot straight possibilities, I try to take this now seeing as suited connectors is certainly a possibility. Link to post Share on other sites

Top pair is definitely committed with a stack to pot ratio of a little over one on a safe turn.I dont 100% agree that you wont see weak Aces limping UTG here, a standard raise for UTG is >10% of his stack and he may try to see a cheap flop, but I think you can discount them somewhat. Suited connectors really shouldnt be limping UTG here because villains stack limits his implied odds either, but are probably a bigger part of his range than Aces. I would min-raise with either.
