Unique steal situation. A pro and another guy who\'s pretty good.
You know the BB is a 2+2er and he knows your tendancies. He tends to think you get a little out of line on the aggressive side and as a result has paid you off for some good hands in the past. He also knows you are a very thoughtful and professional player, so he does respect your play though.
You open in the Button at a 6-handed NL table with $20 stacks (which are still close to their buy-in value) and 10c blinds. You raise with A9 to 40 cents. The SB folds, and the BB (the opponent described above) thinks for a second and calls. The flop is QJ5, rainbow I think. He checks, you bet 50 cents. He raises now $1 for a total of $1.50. The pot is $2.85 and it costs you $1 to call. What's your move and why? This hand requires a considerable amount of thought to understand, so take your time with it. |

[/ QUOTE ] FWIW, it was my recommendation to post it in mid/high because hero/villain weren't donks, which is essentially defining SS NLHE, but for the mid-high crowd, we definitely ARE donks.

Re: Unique steal situation. A pro and another guy who\'s pretty good.
I thought this was a joke post, hard to believe pros are playing with 10 cent blinds. I see now you were serious. My sincere apologies.
Also, I thought when you said "This hand requires a considerable amount of thought, so take your time with it." you were either A)Being a condescending [censored], in which case I was offended B)Reaffirming that this was indeed a joke post, in which case I was annoyed. Still, sorry, shoulda tried to clarify before being an ass. |

Easy fold. You almost certainly have the worst hand and no draw. He may do this with KT or 9T, but in those cases, he's only slightly behind.
