What hand do you put me on this hand if you are the villain? What do you put the villain on if you are me, and what is the minimum hand you call this push with?

RayPowers 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 There's two options, you could have called with some suited connectors hoping for implied odds, but your check raise leans me more towards thinking you had 55 or 66.It's pretty hard to put the villan on anything but a set as well, or an overpair. Neither of you really look like you were hunting for a straight.Ray Link to post Share on other sites
krup24 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 You need a set at least to call here He has an overpair I would say for sureYou have 66 i will guess him KK Link to post Share on other sites
cwik 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have you on middle pair 88-99-TT. I think he has an onver pair on you. I think if you flopped a set it would be an easy call. Link to post Share on other sites
capthowdy981 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'd put you on 56/57 and him probably a suited ace, like A7, or even a 78 suited, but not like that matters. Link to post Share on other sites
GrinderMJ 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Nobody thinks that his push is a set? Nobody thinks his raise is air, he instacalled my raise on the flop if that helps Link to post Share on other sites
TML28 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have you on a set of 6s or 5s, I have him on over pairs QQ KK AA or even AKs AQ. I think his raise preflop was to buy the button, so with that said he could also be holding 56 89 or something similar. or 22! Link to post Share on other sites

GrinderMJ 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 ok, I see that his range of hands was far too likely to beat my hand, and that I made a poor, losing call. It worked out here, but obviously not correct long run. When he smooth called my flop check raise and didn't push, I eliminated overpairs and put him on a hand like ak or aq which I have dominated. Then i realized he min raised preflop so I changed his line of hands to more like qj suited, kq suited, kj suited and the like. I felt his insta call on the flop was because he thought i was bluffing, and wanted to peel one off. I know it was a bad call, adn that my NL cash game needs work at times, but feel free to call me a moron, because I played the hand poorly.

speedz99 145 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 From where I'm sitting you made a great read.Nice play...but probably a loser in the long run unless you are very familiar with the player and their betting patterns. Link to post Share on other sites

Then i realized he min raised preflop so I changed his line of hands to more like qj suited, kq suited, kj suited and the like.Why wouldn't you put him on a non-premium pocket pair? You don't think he could make this play with something like 66 if he's "tricky aggressive"? I'm just saying because when I check raise and get flat called by someone I consider a good player (which you said you thought he was) in no limit, it screams trap to me.Ray Link to post Share on other sites

Middle pocket pairs are also more likely, but I felt he would possibly 3 bet with 88-jj. Actually the more i think about this hand, I can't really beat any hands. Bah, you got me Ray, donk call.

Guest Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 since you are posting you do not have a pocket pair that hit a set, from the way the hand played I'd put you on two pair, reasonable of you to call the small raise with a hand like 56s, you could also have had 34s, but that really isnt a hand most people play.What do I put him on, hard to say, my best guess is a overpair, but he seems a little too aggressive for just a pair, after all, the flopp isn't perfect, lots of hard to read hands could have connected with it.My best guess is JJ-AA...

Jordan 1 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 nh grinder..these calls are hard to make...but it's nice when you're right.posting here in strat really though won't get you much other than tooting your own horn cause it really just comes down to your read and willing to go with it.i made a similar call against probably a similar opponent playing a HU cash game for my entire stack on a T73 board with AQ. He tabled KJ....but I don't think I'd ever post the details of the hand or what I was thinking cause it's so rare to do and really just comes down to knowing your opponent, putting him on a hand range you can beat...and going with it.IMO, nice play...it's obvioujsly only something you can do when you have a solid read and def. isn't the "norm".- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
