I'm raising to 12 on this flop every time.

Re: Too weak/tight w/ JJ?
So you're basically all-in on this flop, no?

I think you can fold to a push on this flop.

Button ($20.50) SB ($55.20) BB ($12.85) UTG ($12.15) MP ($13.75) Hero ($27.80) [/ QUOTE ] 1- [DELETED BY POSTER BECAUSE THIS POINT MADE NO SENSE.] 2- Villains' stacks SB has a full stack and decided to check on this draw-heavy board, so he's probably not playing a set or two pair, or some hand that wants to make better hands pay to draw out. Even a straight in SB would have to be worried a little bit about a flush draw. The other two villains are short-stacked. Without a read, I treat most short-stacks without too much respect because they are just about pot-committed in any hand they play past the flop. They could have anything from a straight, to a flush draw, to a set, to top pair, to a pair with an OESD, to an underpair, to overcards, to who knows? So, I think I'd bet just enough to put them both all-in on the flop and probably fold to a major check/raise from SB. 3- What if the stacks were deeper? If all players had full or deep stacks, or you had any read at all that at least one of them was nut-peddling with their short stack, then I'd still want to raise, but then fold to a call/bet or a re-raise push from either one. 4 - Folding is still ok Although I wouldn't have folded for the reasons I've stated above, I think folding is ok too. It's probably a lot lower variance. You really don't have a big hand and the board is too coordinated for comfort. |

1- Your stack I think you should have a combat load of chips at the table. Why get in here with only half the buy-in? It limits your ability to get information without getting pot committed. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, this is 25NL, I bought in for the maximum allowed amount.

Actually, this is 25NL, I bought in for the maximum allowed amount. [/ QUOTE ] Oops. Sorry. I need to read the post closer. I thought the buy-in was 50 for some reason. So, ignore #1. That makes folding look better than it did before. I still think I would personally raise just enough to put both of the shorter stacks all-in, and fold if SB check-raised ME all-in. But folding does look reasonable, and like I said, lower variance. |
