A10o OOP

[chucksim]

I stink, I know. Comments on the play of this hand? Just felt strange to me. Button has generally been aggressive. UTG will play any big cards. No read on SB.

When calling hands like this pre-flop out of the blinds I sometimes feel like I don't know exactly where I am. I'll post this in stages:


Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero???

I'd raise for value, and to put pressure on the pfr in case he's drawing to a 5-outer or gutshot.

[TomBrooks]

I'd RAISE!

I raise in this spot with top pair/decent kicker and two backdoor draws.


If button calls/3-bets or SB 3-bets what do we do on the turn unimproved?

Call down. It's got to get a lot scarier before you should fold this.

CALL
TURN PLAY IS HARD TO SAY SINCE NO READS HERE. I VOTE BET OUT IF CHECKED TO US ESPECIALLY IF DIAMOND FALLS BUT IF A BLANK FALLS I THINK I STILL BET TURN

[SoftcoreRevolt]

With an aggressive button and only one limper to him his range is very large, so I raise this and probably call down unimproved if he 3 bets.

Unless he's ultra laggro preflop, you gotta dump this preflop dude.

He's aggressive preflop and with only one limper before him, he could be raising just about anything. You're getting 6:1, probably 7:1, to call. You need to see this flop, even if Button is the rockiest rock that ever rocked.

you need to raise here to protect and isolate, if hes not a lag im folding to a 3 bet prob, the call preflop is stinky
