STARS $150
 

Flamed out of super monday fairly early, but doing quite well in the Stars $150+12. 14K. Good for 11th out of 78 remaining. Was 3rd at one point but lost w/JJ to 55. Any other 2+2ers in?

A hand from the STARS 150
 

Shortly after I made the last post.

I'm in the SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Blinds 300/600 a50. Full table (9 players).

Player who I had noted as weak-tight (T8800) open limps from CO-2. I complete (T13,500). BB checks. Pot is 2250.

Flop is 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I bet 1500. BB folds. Limper calls.

Turn is 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] giving me a gutshot to go with my top pair. I bet 2K. Limper raises 2800 to 4800 total (leaving him with less than 2000 back).

What do you do?

Yeah, that was the "tight player" from my last post. Maybe not as tight as I thought...

In the $$
 

Got in with about 17K, but immediately picked up A9o on the button. Open raised to 2K (blinds 400/800 a50) and got called by chip leader (60K) in the BB (who had just moved when we got into the money). He calls. Flop is J high with 2 hearts. I bet 3K. He goes all-in. I fold.

Part of me was sure he was going to do that, but I don't see how I don't play it like that. Maybe a bigger preflop raise?

I think you played that hand fine. I may check to him on the flop, and hope to get a free card, as he can double you through, and it won't hurt him much. I think he puts all his chips in after your bet on the flop with any pair.

Yeah. I just don't like to get in the habit of checking when I miss too often. I guess this was probably a good place to do it. If I'd flopped some kind of draw, I would have...

Nice to see.....
