Fishy play early

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

Every once in a while I make a semi-fishy play on the belief that I can get away cheap and still have enough chips to place. Here's one from earlier in the same 'Stars SNG as the TT hand.

Blinds are 15/30, 14 left, I'm in about 8th with 1450 after getting my AJo overcards, cracked by a slowplayed AKo no pair hand (fortunately we checked it doen on the turn & river).

I'm, in the BB with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG minraises to 60 folded to me and I call. (hint: this is not the fishy play)

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check, intending to fold. UTG bets 60 into the 135 pot. I look at my stack and decide I can play just as well with 1330 as 1390 and call, knowing full well that I can pick up a flush draw on the turn and still be forced to fold if he decides to play strongly.(hint: this *is* the fishy play)


Turn: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Hello! hit the gutshot. Man, he's not gonna like this. I check, he bets 600, I checkraise all-in, he mulls it over for about half his time bank and calls.

What does he have? (I was treating him like he had AA) Did I really show those 60 chips I threw in on the flop no respect? What did my opponents think of me after this hand?
