View Full Version : $22 -- AQ turns top two pair but gets raised


12-12-2005, 09:25 AM
$20+$2 on Eurobet, level 1. No reads on villain. I'm not Hero, but think this hand could get some good discussion. Opinions on:
- How to respond to flop min-raise?
- Lead or check turn?
- How to respond to turn raise (or turn bet if we check first)?
- Thoughts on the hand as a whole?

Before the turn action, hero has t1270 left and villain has t1230.

Seat 1: random1 ($1,480 in chips)
Seat 2: random2 ($1,015 in chips)

Seat 5: Hero ($1,470 in chips)
Seat 6: random6 ($1,510 in chips)
Seat 7: random7 ($1,000 in chips)
Seat 8: Villain ($1,430 in chips)
Seat 9: random9 ($3,100 in chips)

Bet more on the flop. The pot is 200 so I would bet something like 150. Call if he min-raises. Check/raise the turn.

Preflop: Fine

Flop: Your bet is too small - 70 into a 190 pot. Villain might interpret that as weakness and is testing you. Either that or he has a set ot AT.

Turn: I think after the flop action you have to bet and your bet size is fine. Now he puts in a serious raise. There are 8 possible ways he can have a set, though 2 of them (AA & QQ) are unlikely, and there are 16 possible ways he can have 2 pair (we elimate T4, Q4 & QT as possibilities). unless you have some knowledge that says he would't play 2 pair like this, you're ahead 2/3 of the time. Sure, there's 16 ways he can have KJ, but that makes no sense at all. Some percentage of the time, he's playing AK like a monkey or on a pure bluff.

I'd push in here.
