2-2: a powerhouse?

[econ_tim 0]

$1/$2 FullTiltPreflop: econ_tim3 folds, MP2 calls, 2 folds, Button calls, 1 fold, econ_tim checks.Flop: (3.5 SB) [Jh 5d Td]econ_tim checks, MP2 checks, Button checks.Turn: (1.5 BB) [Tc]econ_tim calls.River: (5.5 BB) [As]econ_tim calls.Final pot: 7.5 BBI hadn't played with MP2 before tonight, but his play seemed odd so I had been watching him. He seemed to like to bluff the turn, and I don't think he would slowplay top or middle pair.

The only hands I was worried about this guy having on the turn were mid pocket pairs (between 3s and 7s).

Yeah, I know this isn't a standard play.I just like to post these hands because I believe if you pay attention to your opponents, you can pick up more bets.It turns out he had QX. That might not justify my bet/call, but paying close attention to other players has helped me make better decisions.

Well that sure is an interesting result Would you consider him to be slowplaying top or second pair, baby kicker? Would he automatically bet out with those hands? I'd have put him on 10-3 or something

Yeah, I guess T-X was a possibility. I think calling him down with 2-2 helped me out later. I made a set of nines on the flop and he kept capping with me when he had QQ. Maybe he wouldn't have been so aggressive if I hadn't done this play first.

I love power deuces as much as anyone, but this looks like a spewfest.You're fortunate that he had garbage.

i'd have to agree. he could have a suited A5 and have you beat. just check it down or fold to a bet. this used to be a leak of mine also. its such a small pot that its not even worth it.

of course this would normally be a spewfest, but if someone has a good read on someone, then it's not... If I think someone is bluffing, I'll call them straight down.. oh, that reminds me of my best call ever...

Turn: (1.5 BB) [Tc] econ_tim bets, MP2 raises, BB folds, econ_tim calls. Betting with lowly deuces into an empty pot isn't quite the same.
