33s: BB garbage hand

#1 10-11-2005, 02:22 AM

Party 33s, I've been multitabling and have no real reads. I have a few thoughts but would like other input.

Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t2040)
UTG (t695)
MP (t875)
Button (t2810)
SB (t1580)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t300) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t275, Hero ?

I fold. The reverse implied odds are too great and you have a nice stack to work with to get chips from better situations.

Raise it.... pot is 500--- make it 500 more.

I hate playing crap hands like this. I'd just fold and work with my stack.

I think you guys are giving up too much by folding this. The majority of the time, the SB doesn't have anything. A good-sized raise wins the pot.

I don't know what play is like at the 33's as i multi-table the 22's but I'm assuming it's pretty simliar. *Most* of the time if the SB has nothing, he'll put out a min bet because the BB checked. I find it really hard to believe in this situation that SB has nothing when he makes a near pot sized bet into a flush draw flop. Although it's hard to put the SB on a hand here because the flop is full of rags.

I agree with the fold. I want as many chips as possible while I'm picking on the small stacks on future hands.

Rags or no rags, there are tons of people who will call the SB with any 2. It's impossible to put him on a hand.

Without a read, the size of SB's bet makes me think that he is likely to have a better hand. Of course he may not, but since he's not deep enough for you to get away if you raise and he pushes, I would fold. For the same reason I think you should just push if you want to play.
