X ima splasher X 0 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I played a home game on friday, and i had an interesting hand come up.Most players in this game are very loose and limp a lot. There a few solid players, and my brother in law was one of them. He was seated next to me.anyways, everybody started out with 10k in chips, and blinds were 25-50.Table was 9 handed, and i am dealt JJ in the cutoff. I raise to 350 and 4 out of 5 people call me, ( including my brother in law, who is in the small blind )flop is 8-4-3. I bet 1050, and it is folded to my brother in lwa, who raises me 1600 more.What should i do here? Link to post Share on other sites
the_stein 0 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You're probably beat, you raised big preflop and flopif you think there is a chance your hand is still good then you raise 2500 on top of it, if he pushes then you know you're beat and can foldMost likely he has a set, but there is always the chance of a lower pp or ace8 Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 one more clarification:Is anyone else left in the hand?Because if it's "folded around to him", well, who folded if he's right next to you ? Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 ...yeah, and if he is your BIL, is he married to your sister, or your wife's sister? Link to post Share on other sites
KONGOS 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think you have to try one more raise and then give up if he pushes. I don't think you can give up just yet on the hand. He possibly thinks you have a hand like AK or AQ and totally missed. A $2500 re-raise like stein said will will most likely tell you where you're at and it's not risking that much considering how deep the stacks are. If he pushes, you'll still have $4500 left which is 90 bb. Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: OK...you corrected it..you're the buttonYou're the button, you're BIL is the small blind...how did it fold to your brother-in-law after your bet? There should be no one between you and you're BIL.What did the other 3 players do after he bet 2650...I'm assuming it folded to you after his bet?Anyway, you probably fold here.He's got 88, 44, 33 or QQ here (15 combinations)or 99, TT (12 combinations).And, what kind of a brother-in-law is he....the kind you resent for banging your sister...the kind you're OK with because he's banging your wife's sister...or the kind that drinks heavily around you because you're banging his sister?

DUSTINFLYZ172 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 First thing you should do is remind him that you are banging his sister. Then tell him that if he ever raises you again, you are going to introduce her to anal sex. This should prevent this from happening again. Link to post Share on other sites
