flop - "oooh, sweet a set!"

hero raises - "BINGO!! FISH ON!! GET THE NET!!!"

mrs. sweet-set(hmmm, i wonder) is playing no other hand this way IMO

That's pretty much exactly my thinking for the hand.

Wow. Everyone (including Raptor!) is advocating you to fold TPTK... And I agree with them.

Re: 109 - Puking with AK
 

Boy that was a really dumb call/reraise.

PS: Nice outcome, but next time, don't raise the flop unless you smell that rat.

Re: 109 - Puking with AK
 

hmm, cant agree with 95%. I good player just called a min raise in utg+1 with AA 95% of the time, or limped behind a raise in early position with 55? The only hands that make sense here are 88, AK, AQs and maybe AJs depending on the player. No way does she have 88 95% of the time. Still a fold, but it's closer than you are implying.

Is min-raising a low PP from UTG normal at the 109s?

Re: 109 - Puking with AK
 

To be fair, my read that she's a good player is not certain, and only based on the fact that I see her a lot, and I haven't noted anything particularily donkish about her. Most of the truly aweful players come and go very quickly, or get noted. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think you'll see 55 here a lot, and I also think it's very reasonable to call an UTG min raise with 55, in fact, I would love to have 55 in that spot.

I think AK is possible, but AQ and AJ are almost definitely not possible. Her reraise left her with 170 chips. Unless she's a REALLY good player, she won't do this with a margainal holding.

I also think there's a small chance AA is there, only because superdonks like to limp/call/play AA passively.

Also, I think that there's a small chance of A8 or A5, but, if that were the case, she most certainly is not a winning player.

Re: 109 - Puking with AK
 

Nice laydown. I wish I could say I'd make a similar laydown, but I don't know that I would. It's just so easy to hit "call" there without thinking it through deeply like you did. It's POSSIBLE she has something like AQ or AK, but more likely a set for sure. Well played.

ohhh

good chance trips are there.

I wonder how many other 109ers lay this down here?

i sure do

Re: 109 - Puking with AK
 

I think its a nice fold but of course its much closer than most people are saying. There are some crazy people out there, and I would never expect to be ahead only 5% of the time. But okay, I still like it against the type of player you mentioned.

Re: 109 - Puking with AK
 

i think the mistake on this hand was not re-raising preflop. i realize it was early, but you had no way of telling where you were at after the flop. if they hit da set after a reraise so be it, but given the preflop action, i think you let someone in cheap.

nice laydown. its early and some could make an arguement for laying this down preflop at this stage.
