suited connector hits trips... resistance
Home game... $20NL, .25/50 blinds, 7-handed
Hero ($20ish) Villain ($20ish) Villain will play almost any 2 cards preflop, but is very tight post-flop. All in-pushes represent a big hand about 90% of the time. Hero's table image is somewhat tight. Hero is dealt: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in late position Preflop: 3 limpers Hero limps in w/ his suited connectors Flop: ($2ish) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Villain leads for $2 2 folds Hero raises to $8 Villain pushes all-in Hero ??? I've got about 1/2 my stack in now (thanks to our lousy 40x BB format). My kicker is awful, and villain is a very honest player when it comes to pushes like this. I'm almost positive villain wouldn't push with something like 77,99,TT,JJ. Villain -will- occasionally limp with big pocket pairs to try to be tricky, however. He's an idiot. With stack size, is this an instant-call? 2-pair isn't really an option. AQ maybe. AA,KK overpairs seem unlikely with the preflop action. QQ is even less likely. <font color="green">I call here every time, but never feel good about it.</font> Question 2: ALSO, What about a flop like: 855 instead of Q55.... would you play this differently since villain is more likely to have 88? Question 3 - Main Question! How do you play this with deeper stacks, say $50-60 w/ a $20 buyin. Thanks! |

with only 40BB im calling this push. [/ QUOTE ] yes, deeper stacks, i probably lay it down unless i've seen him make this kind of move in a limped pot with a naked Q. |

Re: suited connector hits trips... resistance
change homegame setup. If your going to play .25/.50 blinds buyin $50. If thats to expensive for you, make the blinds .10/.25 and buyn $25.
Yes call this push everytime, i think you will see Qx,AQ,KQ more often then you will see yourself dominated. |

Re: suited connector hits trips... resistance
1. Call the all in bet. He "should have" raised to reduce the number of players with QQ, and he did not, so he's unlikely to have QQ. I think a bigger concern here is A,5, and now your kicker is not good.
2. With 855, I'd probably still call, because it could be a 67 hand he's betting. The 88 hand is not as likely to have raised preflop, so there is more uncertainty there. I'd still call. 3. The most I've played at is $100NL. Definitely its a more tricky game and they more often have the hand you least expect. I'd still call. lol |
