5/5 NL Local Game
Hero ~ $1200 Villain ~ $1500 I have a good image at the table and respect from just about everyone. Villain and I are well-acquainted and he is the best player at this table and respects me, but is apt to make a move on me because he likes to prove he has testicular fortitude at the table from time to time. Hero dealt J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in UTG +1 Hero raises to $30, folded to Villain in MP who calls, LAG on button calls, blinds fold. FLOP ($105): K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Hero bets $100, Villain raises to $225, button folds. What is my best move here? Raise was my immediate thought as there is a solid chance he could be making this play with nut diamonds as well as two pair like KQ or QJs. Do I wanna raise here and pot-commit myself on the flop or check-raise the turn all-in (it is almost certain he will bet diamonds even if he doesn't get there on 4th street)? Results to follow if interest/posts merits them. |

A.) What do you mean by "good table image?" I want people to think I'm a fish, but I know a lot of others who want to be thought of as tight-aggressive sharks.
B.) I think you need to move in here. You would've been re-raised by KK or QQ. If you really feel that Villian has AT or T9, you need to be raising more up front to get rid of him or limp in. I think you need to push because consider how many times he'll call you with KQ, AK, or TT and it makes up for your losses. You do have 6 outs to hit the turn and if you miss, 9 outs on the river. He's got the same odds with a KQ, but only 4 outs with AK, 8 with TT, with runner-runner draws on both that you don't need to fear. |

Good point on the image. To this point in the night I have gotten all-in with the best hand twice and been run down both times and besides that haven't had to show down anything bad at all.
The real point here is that since the Villain and I know one another so well it really doesn't matter, as he knows how I play for the most part: solid preflop and pretty conservative after. |

Smells of AA or AK to me, he wants to know cheaply if you have a set, while squeezing out button and any naked naked 10 he might have. So call as if you have AK, and bet a good amount on the turn, dont fear diamonds. All his losing hands pay you off.(Check/fold a 10 he bets here with only better hands, and check/? an A)
