Borgata hand
First time posting.
I'm the big stack with ~$4K in a 10 handed ring game. I'm raising more than my fair share of pots PF and have shown a tendency to continue firing on the flop with the right board and a limited field. I'm probably viewed as LAG. Villian joined the table about 90 minutes ago and has ~$1K. The impression I've formed of him is that he's playing above his limits. Too eager to fold under pressure and has only shown down one hand (which he won): pocket aces on a queen high, completely ragged board. I'd label him weak-tight. The only other guy in the hand has about $2K and is the only guy at the table who has shown an inclination to play back at me. Here's the hand: Blinds are $5/$10. Villan is SB, I'm UTG+2 with two black 8s, other guy is CO. Folds to me and I raise to $60. CO and SB both call. Flop is Jh, Jd, Qc. Checks around. Turn is 8h. SB checks; I bet $200; both guys call. River is 2d. SB pushes. |

I also don't see much value in pushing because your remaining opponent is very unlikely to call a push and a re-push with anything you're beating and he's certainly not folding anything better than eights full.

Re: Borgata hand
I was playing the same game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. If it was one of those times and you don't mind what was villian wearing, where did he seat?

Re: Borgata hand
Why do you raise so much here pf? Is 6x BB standard open raise?

Re: Borgata hand - Results
I flat called. CO mucked. SB showed me pocket QQ (note he did not re-raise me PF).
I've been beating myself up over this hand. Given villian's play up to that point, I was virtually certain he would not put all his money in the middle without having the nuts or second nuts....but I just couldn't get away from my smaller full house. Expensive lesson learned. The hand happened the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Villian was in seat #8, early to mid 20s, goatee, black shirt. I was opening for anywhere from 3BB to 6BB. No reason why I'd open for different amounts other than to mix things up a bit. |
