11r, how thee tempts me.
Late in the rebuy. I have a tight image (If anyone is paying attention), and have only shown down big hands. No particular read on villian. he is not out of line.
Level XX (10000/20000) Seat #1 is the button Seat 1: Chief911 (421130 in chips) Seat 2: ACETEAM55555 (532555 in chips) Seat 3: jrdowns (329418 in chips) Seat 4: spacejam08 (237626 in chips) Seat 6: BREWER_RICK (529570 in chips) Seat 7: HuntingDucks (279440 in chips) Seat 8: SicilianDfnc (297742 in chips) Seat 9: gparker1 (263544 in chips) *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Chief911 [3d Ad] spacejam08: folds BREWER_RICK: folds HuntingDucks: folds ACETEAM55555 said, "i had a 4 with a 2 kicker" ACETEAM55555 said, "lol" SicilianDfnc: folds gparker1: folds Chief911: raises 40000 to 60000 ACETEAM55555: calls 50000 Chief911 said, "thats a hot hand" jrdowns: folds *** FLOP *** [9c 7d 8d] ACETEAM55555: checks How do you proceed from here? I'm probably 7th or 8th in overall stack. Nick |

Re: 11r, how thee tempts me.
I bet ~80K but there is only one way I'm getting off this hand. If he check-raises all-in I call. If he calls and checks the turn I'm taking a free card. If he calls and bets big on the turn I fold.

Re: 11r, how thee tempts me.
I'd play it like I had the overpair my raise could represent - bet 100k. If he CR pushes I'm calling based on the value of my draw, if he calls I know I'm behind and that he's not going anywhere. If I miss the turn and he leads I'm done, if he checks the turn I check behind. I don't like a small continuation bet because it's inconsistent with what I'd expect a hand to do w/ this board and just invites him to make a play at me. I don't like the push as much because if he has a big hand he's inclined to slowplay I don't have a chance get away from my hand when the turn blanks and I'm way behind.

I continue bet 1/2 pot. He could have called w/ AK to AT or any pair or high suited connectors. If he comes back over the top, see what the pot odds are for the call or fold decision on hitting the flush, the flop probably helped him.

With a draw, either bet big or check behind. If you are going to continuation bet, push to a raise. You could even just push. It might look like a draw, but it might be hard to call with the coordinated board. The flush draw plus ace is pretty strong. I would play it strongly and try to take down the pot. |

Re: 11r, how thee tempts me.
I would lean heavily on a read here. If I felt he was going for a checkraise, then, naturally, I check. If he was pretty straightforward or I have seen villain call similar raises then fold to a postflop bet, then I probably bet near the pot size, w/ the intention of getting it all-in if he checkraises. If I have no reads, I probably take the safe route and take my free card.

Why not push? Villian knows at best he has a coin flip...

I feel that pushing is also a very good option.

Re: 11r, how thee tempts me.
I generally dont like laying 3/1 odds with this little information on the opponents hand. It is a situation where you are likely to be called by better hands, and worse hands fold.
However, he simply called a possible steal pre-flop, so you cant put him on very much, and his flop check is very risky with a medium-strong hand with that board. The A may well be good right now and without a draw to the nut flush he's got a very hard time calling a push. With all of the FE and the flush draw I like the push too. |

Re: 11r, how thee tempts me.
I think the question here is are there any arguments against a standard continuation bet, like 2/3 the pot?
edit: Posted this without seeing other responses. Not sure if I like a push just b/c you're putting your whole tourney on the line here. Something about villian's play makes me suspect a high pair. That would be how I would play a high pair in his situation. |
