Default Re: Flopping top pair from the SB

So he's giving you 6-1 on the call.

Since he's commited if you hit best hand you are getting the rest of his stack, so we can increase the odds to 7-1.

Your straight outs are probably good, regardless of suit.

The question is whether or not your T or 8 outs are good.

If they are and you have 9 outs its a call, if not its a fold.

Would he open limp AA or KK, or are we looking at a set?

You have 9400 left after your turn bet, so calling would leave you with 6,600 at the BB=600 level, not horrible, but you lose to ability to steal without commiting your stack.

Interesting spot.

Would this guy open limp 33, or 66 in CO-2?

If I think he would raise the small pairs to steal the blinds, I call thinking I'm against something like AA or KK on a missed limp re-raise and all my 8,9 and T outs are good.

If he's limping these hands, I probably muck and retain a better stack for pure steals.

If he didn't have so little left behind I might even conisider [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] as bluff outs, but he's has to call any river bet.

As an aside, what do you think about c/r the flop.

That's usually my default move with TPMehK in the blinds as it rarely gets flat called causing me the pain of having the lead on further streets without really knowing where I am.

Was he too weak tight to count on to bet the flop if checked to?
