Re: Live - Do You Let This Go Facing Flop Raise?
[ QUOTE ]
Live - $2-$5 Spread Limit.
Villian hasn't done anything too suspicious yet. Seems pretty solid post-flop, but definitely not aggressive pre-flop...calls only one raise with KK, I've seen him limp with QQ....
Hero is in late position with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Everyone folds to Hero, who calls $2 blind, villain is button and limps, single blind of $2 checks option.
Flop:
Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Blind checks, Hero bets $5, Villain raises to $10, blind folds,
Hero............
Do you let this go right here, or call $5 and hope to peel a Q or J on the turn?

Why aren't you open-raising preflop? Bad play.
Why are you betting $5 into a $6 pot when this board is so ragged and your opponents likely have 1 out (runner-runner), 3 outs (single overcard or Q+worse kicker) or possibly 5 outs (6x or 3x)?
Button didn't raise preflop, so if he has a Q, it's probably smaller than yours. Your "huge" flop bet (relative to the pot) may look like a complete steal, or semibluff (with a 6 or mid PP), so he may raise with his bad Q or mid PP. 3-bet and lead the turn.
