Pre 2+2 forums I would have folded this.
I've learned a lot from this board. I used to be afraid to make calls with 2nd pair. Now I do it with confidence.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx UTG+1 (t1090) MP1 (t3300) MP2 (t910) CO (t3310) Hero (t4070) SB (t1410) BB (t3930) UTG (t6680) Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. [color=#666666]5 folds</font>, [color=#CC3333]Hero raises to t200</font>, [color=#666666]1 fold</font>, BB calls t100. Flop: (t450) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font> [color=#CC3333]BB bets t300</font>, Hero calls t300.

River: (t1850) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font> BB checks, Hero checks. Final Pot: t1850 Also.. Very tight table. I would never normally ever raise this hand in a million yrs. |

I like it. Most players won't donk with a good hand. He probably just figured the flop missed you and he wants to take it cheaply.
If he bets the river.. then its a little tricky. |

Re: Pre 2+2 forums I would have folded this.
this looks very standard. i can't imagine folding on that kind of board.
and you would never raise a suited gapper on the button when folded around to you? in a million years? i hope you just mean in the first four levels, cause i'm raising the top 50% hands on the button when its folded to me |

i like it, but i think raise to 300 PF.
Otherwise, looks good. |

yea, min-raise at these blind levels isn't quite enough to get the fold equity you want.

[/ QUOTE ] Unless a min-raise is going to make the BB commit a significant part of his stack he should call with almost any two. He's getting more than 3-1 pot odds. You can't make it that easy. When you see how many more folds you get with a 3BB raise you'll probably start raising with alot more hands. |

Re: Pre 2+2 forums I would have folded this.
but watch out, if you think you have observant opponents, make sure you vary your stealing amount, especially if a steal gets to showdown.
some people subconsciously raise different amounts to steal than a real raise. and just as a word of advice, practice taking good notes on the two players to your left and right, this will help with pf shenannigans. sry for the ramble [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Did 2+2 teach you to min-raise?
