5-5 CALLING STATION TROUBLE
Playing 5 handed $5-5 no limit, villain is a stranger.
Stacks: Hero: $280 Villain: $500 Hero is dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on button PRE-FLOP LP opens to $10, hero calls, SB (Villain) calls, BB calls FLOP pot ($40) K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Villain bets out $25, fold, fold, Hero calls Thoughts: Only worried about K 9, A K, or a set. I figured this could easily be a King w/ bad kicker bet considering the small pre-flop raise. So I choose to just call and observe the turn. TURN pot ($90) [K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Villain bets $44, Hero calls Thoughts: This is where I question my play. In my mind I was 90% sure I was dealing with the king. I figured if I called here he might still put me on a straight draw, so I could get a nice bet/call on river. RIVER pot ($178) [K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Villain bets $201 (pushing me all-in) - How hard is this call? |

Re: 5-5 CALLING STATION TROUBLE
You can beat a stone bluff. Don't see callin without a read.
This hand would make me feel a little ill.. |

Raise the flop to $60. It makes the hand much easier to play.

Raise the flop to $60. It makes the hand much easier to play. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe. But it's typically a negative expectation raise. |

Re: 5-5 CALLING STATION TROUBLE
typically no better hand will fold and no worse hand will call
