T9s play along
10/20 pp. Just sat at the table a couple of orbits ago so no real reads except the button seems kind of donkish (35/5 ish after 25 or so hands).
We'll skip the preflop decision because we can't have a play along if I fold preflop. Party Poker 10.00/20.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(10 handed)</font> link Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG calls. Flop: (14.00 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font> Hero. give me a line? |

(i think folding preflop is bad)
I think the best start is to bet and hope UTG+1 raises. |

[/ QUOTE ] Betting to try and coax a raise from someone directly to your left is overrated, because it doesn't work often. Plus you're not getting anyone to fold a hand that counterfeits any of your outs. The best you can hope for is to knock out some silly redraw hands that could eff you, but most of the legitimate redraw hands will call two cold anyways. But you're not getting a 7, T, or JQ to fold, so I'm not sure how you're cleaning up any outs, as if it gets raised you definitely need to hit. Basically trying to get him to raise is so you can spike the ten of spades and then still miraculously win when another spade comes on the river because the two bets on the flop knocked out the J of spades. Meh. <font color="white"><3 lmd</font> |

Re: T9s play along
The pot is big and getting anyone w/overcards to fold is a good thing. I'd be happy enough just to get a J out of there just in case of a redraw. On top of that, getting everyone else to call 2 cold isn't that bad either b/c we still have enough equity to 3 bet.

Re: T9s play along
I agree with this post. Betting hoping for a raise doesn't work that often, especially with this board and with no read. Not only that, but there are two players inbetween you and the PFR. I'd check and see what develops and whatever happens will affect my plan for the rest of the hand.

Re: T9s play along
Concur. For clarity, you mean they won't raise often with a worse hand (such as overcards), not that they won't raise an overpair right? Because if they're only knocking out others when we're drawing anyway it doesn't do us a great deal of good.

Re: T9s play along
I don't agree with betting out here. I'd rather check and see the action. More often than not I'll c/r here though
