A tough decision
This is the second hand of a $20+2.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx MP1 (t800) Hero (t770) MP3 (t800) CO (t800) Button (t770) SB (t920) BB (t770) UTG (t770) UTG+1 (t800) UTG+2 (t800) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls t15, MP1 calls t15, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t75</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t175</font>, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls t100. <font color="green">The re-raise usually means JJ+, AK, but the hand I see here more often than any other is QQ and there's always those donks doing this w/ 88, even stuff like AQ, AJs.</font> Flop: (t390) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BB checks, Hero checks. <font color="green">Good news: I hit TPTK. Bad news: Villain might just have hit trip queens. Maybe I'm seeing too many monsters under my bed, but in any case I'm checking behind here. Sort of a way ahead/way behind spot.</font> Turn: (t390) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t125</font>, Hero calls t125. <font color="green">His bet doesn't mean much to me, there's a ton of hands that bet this turn. I'm torn between calling (which basically assumes I'm ahead) or raising to something like 320 and fold to a push. I ended up calling.</font> River: (t640) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t225</font>, Hero? <font color="green">I'm almost folding this, but then again I have TPTK in a $22. What would you do? Why? |

Re: A tough decision
I posted a very similar hand to this one about 2 months ago or so. I remember it being very balanced on whether you wanted to push this flop or just call it down. I prefer to call this down. WA/WB situation here.
*Edit* It's a little different, but here's the hand I'm talking about. Read through it. kyro wants to fold top two! *Second Edit* I was reading through that thread and I found it amusing that this was before Megabet turned into a giant troll. He had very insightful things to say rather than "I'm better than you and stanzee sucks!" I miss that [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

Re: A tough decision
I'd play it the same. There are more than enough donkeys in the 22s that will do this with TT to make this a pretty standard call on the river.

Does anyone raise the river? [/ QUOTE ] ... BARF. No don't ever do that. What calls you that you beat? And how many hands that you beat push over you. Do not do that. I like how you played it though. I think pf with position and not that much back to you it's a good call. Might as well check the flop as it is essentially way ahead / way behind. Might as well let the junk take a shot or think they're good. Turn I don't like raising for the same reason. River just call. I think a fold is no good considering how much you've underepresented your hand and how much people suck. Nice hand. |

Re: A tough decision
Id push preflop, if not then Id definately push on this flop. I think your ahead here way more often then not.

He COULD be a donk, but a good portion of the time he's either going to have a pocket pair in which case you're on the sucky side of a coinflip or crushed. |
