fckthis 0 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Havent played much poker lately, but on a trip to Montreal, I recently played in a cardroom.1/2 NL liveEffective StacksHero(BB)=100UTG=250SB=200Hero has 225 limpers to flop Flop- KQ9, rainbowSb checks, Hero checks, UTG bets 7 folds to SB who calls, Hero raises to 25.Thoughts: UTG was a bad player. He had very obvious tells, and I picked up one on this hand. SB was a good, tight player. I knew that he could not call my c/r, unless he had flopped a monster, which I was certain he did not. I normally don't pull too many squeeze plays, but I felt this was an easy pot to scoop. UTG calls, SB folds.Turn 10Hero....Should I even try again here? Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 0 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 What is your read on UTG? You said you picked up a tell. How weak do you think he is? What range do you put him on?What to do depends on your read. You have ~73 left and a pot of ~60. Unless you have KJ or JT, it's hard to believe you have the straight on the turn. Is he good enough to realise this?I am tempted to say check to him and try to get another read. You aren't fully committed to this bluff, so you can let it go if you need to.

Scott3705 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I don't like this against a likely calling station in an unraised pot. These two factors here make me think you just need to get away from this hand and not try anything fancy. Link to post Share on other sites
fckthis 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 I didnt know UTG was a calling station, as he had just sat down from a broken 2/5 game. The reason I knew he was bad, was mainly because he was a tell box. I put him on a gutshot draw, and as hard as it is to believe, he was. He had 104s, and we checked it down.
