100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

Bay 101.

5-handed 100/200. I sat down about 30 min ago, and the only hand I've showndown was a winner.

I’m in the BB w/ 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

UTG folds, CO raises (A fairly tight/straightforward player in full games, though I’m sure his range is wider here), Button folds, SB calls (Seems to be a decent player, only other thing I know is he plays a lot of tournaments), I call.

Everyone ok with the preflop call?

Flop: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB checks, I check, CO bets, SB raises, I ??


Comments so far?

Folderson.
I think the preflop call is fine.

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

Clear fold, especially since you're not closing the action.

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

Fold.

Pardon my rudeness, but of all the hands you play, did you really think this hand is worthy of posting?

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

given the action i fold. I'd bet out on the flop though. Td, TT, JJ, and a Q are all hard pressed to call with the SB still to act behind.

Ok, I guess this is an easy one, just wanted to double check.

The reason I thought about it later was that, yes, in all likelyhood I'm behind, but getting about 5:1, if my flush outs are good I should continue. SB could very easily make that raise with just a pair. I know that drawing to the 4th nut is not normally a good idea, but wondered if in a shorthanded situation like this people would be more apt to continue with a pair and medium flush draw.

Also, as NYplayer suggested, betting the flop could be considered.

Are you the seahawks fan?

I was thinking the same thing.

Fianchetto is not who you're thinking of. I'm virtually certain the Seahawks fan is not a 2+2 poster. He plays well though.

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

I would also consider betting the flop. You may have the best hand and it's a scary board to somebody not holding a diamond. It's a clear fold with two bets cold back to you though.

I would defend here preflop like you did. Neither of these players has to have a premium hand here so seeing the flop getting 5:1 seems like a good idea to me.

I only play in the 40/80 once every couple weeks (if that). But I was there yesterday. 6'4", red, very short hair......I only play OK live, actaully have trouble reading the board sometimes lol.

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

If by plays well you mean terribly, then I agree with you. He's lost a fortune in that game and oscillates between horribly weak-tight and horribly tilting, always at the wrong time. A nice enough guy, though who would win if he played smaller (like 40-80 or especially 20-40). THis is the Seahawks fan not our intreprid poster, who plays very well from what I have seen.

Of course he does, he obviously thinks very well.

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

You have the easiest fold in the history of all mankind

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

Why bet the flop? More often than not, it's just wasting a
bet with bottom pair and a near bottom diamond draw.

Actually, I think this is a fold preflop. 98o just isn't
good enough for a blind defense.

Re: 100/200, what\'s your flop play?
 

This is a ridiculously easy fold, I can't see how there would be room for discussion here.

I'm not convinced of the idea of betting out on the flop as others have proposed. You'd get raised by CO with a wide range of hands here most of the time and it really won't tell you much about CO's hand. You'd be playing from behind the rest of the way and even if your flush hits it's still fourth best.
