Traveling year - I am often new to the cardroom and find these situations. Only know the small blind, who was trying to isolate raise the "new guy" (me) in the 15/30 game earlier.
First hand at table in BB - dealt A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
folded to unknown CO who raises (table chip leader by factor of 2), SB call, I call.
(First question - raise here? Seems likely CO would be raising light here, but not a great hand to get in a contest with aggresive SB.)
Flop- A 2 4 rainbow
checked to co, bet, call, call
Turn- 7 completes rainbow
Now SB leads- bet, call, call. From his play on the 15/30 and the pre-flop CO possibilities - is this a clear raise or muck situation.
River- 5
SB check, I bet the 2 pair (3 seems unlikely here), CO folds, SB calls/mucks - MHIG.
OK, rip away - but the main question, how tight/passive until you know people in new game situations?
