Suited connector with position
 

The whole table was incredibly tight. The only hand I showed down thus far was Aces winning a large pot that gave me the chip lead.

What buy-in is it because that makes a big diffrence

Re: Suited connector with position
 

umm.. make a real bet on the river? what is this 1/4 pot stuff. holla

Re: Suited connector with position
 

$20+2

Re: Suited connector with position
 

I didn't think about that as bad because I wanted it to be a value bet - it was low for that I guess. I thought my turn raise was worse given the pot size...

Re: Suited connector with position
 

If this table has really been super tight, the bizarre action you're getting from UTG+1 leads me to think you can actually fold this on the river. I think you'll be seeing a boat quite often. But calling the push is probably okay too, particularly since the river bet you made was pretty small.

Re: Suited connector with position
 

I may fold to that big of a raise on the river even at $20+2 without a read o the villan and raptor is right make a proper bet on the river

Re: Suited connector with position
 

why do you call a raise from utg with 65s? I'd need a monsterhand to play here. There are better spots to put your money in.

He has a large stack, position &amp; implied odds.
