88 in BB - i c/c, c/r.
playing away from home - no stats available.
UTG was pretty typical with preflop raises. a range for him here utg is something like AJo, A9s, 66, KQo, KJs. if anything it's a little tighter than this, though. i had gotten in quite a few sb vs. bb hands with him, and he was pretty aggressive postflop. several times he called my sb open and raised raggy flops. i had not gone to showdown in those hands, though. Button just sat down recently. Absolute Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls. <font color="green">i'll 3-bet TT for sure, and most likely 99... include 88 in the mix?</font> Flop: (6.5 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Button calls, Hero calls. <font color="green">i know he is going to bet here. had button folded i was check raising.</font> Turn: (4.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font> . . . <font color="green">good card for me. bet? i think this guy is likely to bet both his overpair and his overcard hands here, and button seems to be padding the pot. i'm very unlikely to get 3-bet here, and the guy will definitely fold 6 outers to this (maybe even 99/TT). is this good? what's the river plan?</font> |

I don't mind how you played it. I've been 3-betting this a lot PF lately though.

That second jack is really good, and you should fold to a three bet if it happens |

Re: 88 in BB - i c/c, c/r.
If it was Button who raised I'd 3-bet this everytime - UTG at Absolute, not so much with a 3rd player in
I think you should c/r the flop still - you gain fold equity on the turn (don't let overcards see the river), and get to see where you're at cheaply With c/r'ing the turn, you have a very small chance of folding both players before the river, and will probably get to showdown with someone seeing a 5th card (which you don't really want) I don't really hate the way you played it - I'd just c/r the flop instead - of course c/c on the turn is v. bad |

I raise that PF about 60% of the time in that situation. I think its fairly close either way. As for the turn I like the raise. I really doubt button has a J or he would have raised most likely.

Re: 88 in BB - i c/c, c/r.
So i'd be happy with your line if button wasn't here but after coldcalling preflop, Called flop/Turn i start to worry.
Ok so raise seems ok, as you say AK etc is being betted here often. Plan for river? Well show me the card and i'll post, to tired to think ahead. i guess A-T will be tricky, So will a Spade(Button?). Anything less and guess we're betting, maybe check behind if its scary and we're checked too. |

why not bet the flop and let UTG blow button away?
