88 UTG - Party 3/6

JayKon · #1 09-16-2005, 07:18 PM

Party 3/6, it has been a somewhat passive and semi-loose table. CO-1 has Posted $3 + $1.

UTG (24/12/2.8) I limp with 88, UTG+1 Raises, all fold back to me.

The pot is offering 5-1. Who calls and who folds?

Raise 88 UTG at 3/6. You have a really easy call after you limp.

you cant fold here, a lot of people will say raise instead of limp, i go either way, but this is a very very easy call

Call I did, the flop came QJ4 rainbow and I'm OOP.

I thought about a check raise, but this guy likes to press his position I and expected a 3-bet.

While my AF runs about 5ish, I didn't think going to war with two overcards to my middle pair and a PFR'er with half way decent standards.

Sounds like there are mixed feelings on this one.

Right, that's certainly a bad flop. You should probably check and fold. But folding preflop would have been an egregious error.

I'm a lot closer to check-fold or check-call/re-evaluate than check-raise on this flop.

I generally will either fold or raise 88 UTG for this reason,

BUT

After you decided to limp and then got raised into a heads up pot, i would have limped reraised, depending on your opponent, then if it gets 4 bet i check fold the flop, if he calls me only i lead out and go from there.

This is a great opportunity to mix up your play and i can garuntee the only thing that is going through his mind when this happens is

Oh [censored]!
