blind defense checkup, bottom pair.
 

5/10 unknowns, (or answer for your limit.)

button opens, sb calls, you call in bb with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

sb checks, you bet.

how's this?

bonus question 1: button calls, sb folds. turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. c/r or go for three?

bonus question 2: button raises, sb folds. plan?

I would c/c and fold the turn UI.

1. I would lead and hope for a raise

2. I'd call and fold the turn UI.

The only difficult situation here is: what if the button flat calls and the turn blanks? To avoid that terrible situation I usually just let this one go on the flop. Move along and focus on bigger pots.

sometimes ill bet it, but ive been doing that alot less lately, seems like unless hes aggresive I only get raised when im beat, otherwise he just calls and gives the SB better odds to call or an excuse to not raise a made hand. So lately ive been just checking and seeing what happens. Not sure if this is better or im just getting weak tight.

Id never go for a checkraise if the A hits, the 3 bet is so much sexier.

I generally bet from the bb in this situation (though I'd probably go for a c/r if I was in the sb). If button raises, I'll just call and reassess on the turn. Probably would fold ui.

With 2 pair on the turn, I would be inclined to lead bet again.

sweet, u are using the bonus question thing to. I like the idea alot, that way it kind of kills 2-3 birds with one stone, and mostly because Im always just curious to what ppl will do in certain/tough situations that didnt happen but could.

I probably bet the flop, but sometimes I check it.
