2 pair on a coordinated board
I've been lurking here for a while and decided to start posting some hands.
This hand is at the 1-2NL at the Horseshoe. SB has about $200. Bb has about $350. I have $300. Both SB and BB are fairly tight, fairly aggressive players. They are regulars in this game. My table image is tight and somewhat aggressive. I've been at the table for a couple of hours and I'm up about $100. I open limp in early MP w/ KJs. Folded around to SB who completes. BB checks. Flop comes KJT none of my suit. Small blind opens for $20, BB calls. My action? I raise and make it $70 straight. SB folds, BB pushes for his remaining $300 or so and has me covered. I throw up a little in my mouth. Action here? This is a situation I have some trouble with. I flop two pair and have bettors in front of me on a coordinated board. My thoughts on this hand were that I don't want to see another card and I want to take it down on the flop. I'm thinking if I smooth call, I let the draws see another card and I won't have a plan on the turn. Of course, I don't want one of them to come back over the top of me either. All thoughts are appreciated. Thanks, GooseEye |

Re: 2 pair on a coordinated board
Is that board rainbow? If so...
I like your flop raise. I think fold to the all-in. I would have to say Q9 or AQ are most likely based on the action. If the board is rainbow his first flop call was to hope you got in for a raise and then make a move. If not he is low risk to get outdrawn by giving the cheap card. And if he has no straight he is making a monster semi-bluff against your raise which could easily be a made straight from where he is sitting. |

Re: 2 pair on a coordinated board
Before you do anything, chug some water. You don't want that throw up to burn your esophagus.
Next step, fold. He smooth called the Small Blind and raised you a doozy. He most likely has a set (3 Tens) or the ignorant end of the straight. (The nut straight is unlikely here.) The other possibility is that he has K-10. IF that is the case, you could easily bust him out. But I think you have to give him credit here. He basically raised up 2 players who bet on the flop. That screams great hand. |

Re: 2 pair on a coordinated board
i think you played it perfectly, provided you fold to the all-in.

Re: 2 pair on a coordinated board
Thanks for the feedback guys. I did muck (after washing down the throwup) and he showed me Q9 for the flopped ignorant straight. I've just been replaying this situation in my head and wasn't sure if I was approaching it correctly. I guess it is better to raise here and fold to the power move, than to play it passively and get into deeper trouble on later streets.
Thanks, GooseEye |
