Medium PP Questions
I'm really trying to work on my medium pocket pair play. I honestly think I suck at it. My default line is to push until pushed back and then usually fold. I am going to include some examples in this thread and tell me how you would play it.
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls. Flop: (5.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls. Turn: (3.75 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero? Do you bet this flop when checked to? Do you fold to the turn c/r or just check through? Villain is 30/1.5 with a .3 flop ag and a 1.18 turn ag. |

Re: Medium PP Questions
when it's U like this, bet the flop every time. I bet the turn pretty much every time with no read. Check river UI.
When he c/r's the turn, it's a clear fold |

Re: Medium PP Questions
Fold the turn and I will say nice hand.

Re: Medium PP Questions
Flop bet is fine HU - I'm hoping for a fold when I do that, though.
Unless CO has bluff-c/r'ed the turn before, I fold this every day of the week, hoping he'll do it again when I've flopped my set. |

Here's another one.
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks. Flop: (3 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, Hero? SB is 28/13/1.5 MP2 is 72/0/.7 Do you bet this or wait for a safe card on the turn? Or do you just c/f? |

Not loving the preflop raise. If CO folded then yes.

Re: Medium PP Questions
Fold the turn--with the c/r he is definitely betting the board and you are way behind.

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls, Hero calls. Flop: (6.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero? It's not a terrible flop for us. Do you guys bet out or fold? BB is 33/1.6/.4 CO is 38/17.5/.85 Sorry if these are easy. Reviewing this, I'm guessing that with BB's ag it's an easy fold. I just know I'm missing out on +EV opportunities with small and medium PPs and need to fix it. |

The BB may be betting the flush draw, and there's a good chance the PF raiser will raise, and you will be stuck in the middle. You MIGHT raise if you have a good read that the BB is betting the flush, in order to drive out the PF raiser, but that's pretty damn aggressive. Just fold. |
