coppedit 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 1/2 NL @ House of Blues in ACHero has a tight table image. Has shown down very few hands and 2 hands being KK and AA and a set. Tight aggressive. Stack $325ishVillain: massive chip stack: 800$+ but playing big stack very poorly. Gained chips by betting when he has something and folding when not. Not very tricky and not calling raises or re-raising unless he had somthing. 1st pos. Limp & call2nd pos (hero) has JJ and makes it $123rd fold4th fold5th (villain) calls6th fold7th callSB foldBB foldpot roughly $48flop 10c-8c-3d1st pos. checkhero bets $35villain call7th fold1st foldpot $120turn 4shero: bet $65villain thinks for a few minutes, call$65 & raises $100 on top. What is the hero's play? What i am debating is whether the turn is a check? And is $35 too much on the flop as i should have been keeping the pot small with only 1 pair?

Acid_Knight 2 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 If you think he's capable of making a move without a hand here, then go ahead and push. Based on your description, he has something. I don't think he'd wait til the turn to raise if he had AT. His something is probably beating yours.Safe bet is to fold here and wait for a better spot.

rdtedm 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 The bet smells fishy to me. If your table image is a rock and you're raising to $12 in EP, villain might smooth call pre-flop looking to bet at a scary board.Your hand looks good after the flop, and your bet pretty much dictates you have an overpair. If villain thinks you have QQ or JJ here, he knows a re-raisemight have you second guessing the strength of your pair. If it were me in this situation, depending on your read on the villain I guess, I would either smooth call and push the river (if it doesn't show an overcard) or push here. He's laying you good odds (over 3:1) to make the call here, and the pot is a good enough size. If he turns QQ-AA or a set, then he set a beautiful trap, and it's time to re-load. I think you're ahead here though. Link to post Share on other sites

And is $35 too much on the flop as i should have been keeping the pot small with only 1 pair?1. so he's a nit like you. got it.2. you mean, "villain raises." don't say, "calls and raises on top." just don't3. "Not very tricky and not calling raises or re-raising unless he had somthing." I think villain has something here.4. not really, it got you some information5. not really, it got you some information Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I think it would be incredibly weak to check the turn here. Link to post Share on other sites
Highlow16 0 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think it would be incredibly weak to check the turn here.Yeah, gotta bet the turn. Once he reraises, its a line that alot of players use with a flopped set. His bet is asking for a call. He CC pre so what do most TAG players have here? A small pair or suited connectors. Its a fold with your stack size IMO Link to post Share on other sites
