$109s - BB Post Flop With J6o

Unarmed · #1 06-28-2005, 03:48 PM

No reads. UTG+1 doubled up some donkey with QQ versus TT.
Turn is pretty standard I think, the river is where I'm questioning myself. Should I let him bet his clubs? He may also be on a lesser pair and just check it through, and I really don't want to show this hand down...

How is the turn standard? You're betting into 2 people with one behind with nothing but a gutshot. The pot is hardly worth it. If I do that and make it to the river, well I've hit one of my outs, I'm probably betting/folding to a raise.

If MP1 or UTG+1 had a hand they would have bet on the flop to protect their hand. If SB was sandbagging a monster he would have lead the turn. This bet picks up the pot a large percentage of the time.

I don't say this enough, but you vastly overestimate the intelligence of your opponents. Even at the 109s I would not be shocked to find out one of them had a 9 or K and will call you down to the river.

Yeah, so basically you just don't need to really do much here with so many in the hand with you...too much of the time someone sticks out the hand against you with a middle pair or weak top pair. You're going to have a hard time getting more chips into this pot (making it worth taking down) without having the worst hand...

I say just keep checking and make them feel your presence at a different time.
