checkymcfold 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i would bet this flop generally. you can probably get the a2 hands to go away before they make a better 2p on you. most of the other donks still around are on A3 or A4 most of the time, maybe J10, but yeah. you can take a free river behind and reevaluate if you bet the flop, usually.also, if the board pairs anything on the river and there's only one bet to you after you took a free card (and it's HU), you should be calling with aces, and probably just calling if you make a bottom full house.

greatwhite 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 This is a terrible flop for your hand, especially with 5 people in. It's a standard check-fold all the way down. Link to post Share on other sites
bassplayer45459 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I would call one bet on the flop maybe, but with this flop i would pound the desk, fold and shake my head. Link to post Share on other sites

Vman96 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I would call one bet on the flop maybe, but with this flop i would pound the desk, fold and shake my head.Same here with the pounding...may even fold the flop. Depends on the number of callers. Even getting 12-13 to 1 is very marginal here. Link to post Share on other sites
checkymcfold 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 i repeat: don't be weak/tight. bet this flop. you have no idea how many people will be out of this pot when a deuce flops and they have to call even one bet without a flush draw.most of the calls will be on a3 or a4, which you have a pretty safe high against.

checkymcfold 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I really think this is bad advice. Just my two cents.Aseemin pl, i shut down. this is limit--there are value and metagame reasons for betting in spots like these. if you get check-raised, it's a safe fold, but against hands that peel against you you're much safer than you think.what are you afraid of? AJ3x and AJ4x? those are the only hands that have us in any appreciable trouble. anything else is going to be a monster 4 card hand and c/r us, and those don't happen often. if there is a flush draw or a deuce is not involved, i am profoundly more scared of a flop like this.also, keep in mind that we're in position here and we got checked to.

akishore 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I see your points, but I do think you have to ground yourself a little -- we have bottom two pair. The fact that the board is pretty dry is good and all, but bottom two pair is still a super marginal hand in this game. With basically no redraws, you are usually losing money by continuing, IMO. It is close, though.Aseem Link to post Share on other sites
