WSOP SAT

[locutus2002]

$225 SAT pays 1st place only.

5 hands into the SAT. Villain is talking up a great game. He is telling stories of Tunica, and is wearing a black shirt with white trim and a wide white tie. He has diamond cuff links on the shirt and looks over the top.

3 or the 5 hands villain has limped in from early position, gotten a bunch of callers, and bet T125 into a pot of T200 and taken it down unchallenged.

blinds 25/25


Hero is BB (T975 after posting blind) J /images/graemlins/heart.gif5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Villain is UTG+2 (~T1500)

Villain limps from UTG+2, 4 other limpers, SB checks, hero checks.

Flop (T175) J /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

You checked the flop I'm assuming?

[locutus2002]

Yes.

[RedRum]

Folds.

You've got T25 committed to this, and risking T125 on TPnK for T175 more. Even if this guy's bluffing, I'm letting him have my T25 and waiting for a better spot.

Why not lead on the flop?

If called then check the turn and play accordingly.

Having checked and facing his bet I probably call and play
from there.

Any reasonable bet would be 15% of my stack with 7 players left to act.

[bruce]

You have a point.

With him betting into four or five players behind him to act, unless he's a maniac, I give him credit for having a Jack and
I fold. If you call, you have shortstacked yourself.

Hero raises to T400.

Hero thinks villain most likely does not have a J.
Villain thinks for a few minutes and calls.

Turn: (T975) K /images/graemlins/spade.gif
