5-10 -- passive with an overpair
5-10 NLH 5 handed
I have very little information on Villain as I have been at the table only a few minutes. Two hands earlier, he blew me off a continuation bet on the flop with a big raise. I have $860. He has me covered. Preflop Folded to me on the Button with black Aces. I make it $40 to go. SB folds. Villain calls in the BB. Flop T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Yuck. He checks. I check behind. Turn Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He bets $50. I call (bad?). River A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] He bets $90. Comments on flop or turn? How much do I raise this river? |

Re: 5-10 -- passive with an overpair
I would have led at the flop. What was your plan when you checked? What was your plan when you called on the turn? You either got lucky and hit a 2-outer or got a poisoned pill if he was sitting on QQ
With the action having gone the way it did, I make a big bet (~$600) at this and hope he has 10-10 or J-J. You might even get paid off if he has a king. If he has QQ I just lose a lot of money with the big full. If he doesn't have one of those hands, I don't think you're going to get another dime out of him. He has to know that a set of queens is no good. |

This flop did suck for you, but I would have bet (not led [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) at it to find out where I was while the pot was still small. If he flopped a set of queens or jacks or a straight he would have shown his strength then for aobut $100.
I prefer to be the aggressor in a pot like this to make the villian make a decision that will reveal his hand. So, did he have the quads? |

Bet the flop ($60 or so). This is 5 handed and he called your "steal" on the button, which means he could have a wide range of hands here; this is not that bad of a flop. If he re-raised you PF, then I wouldn't like the flop that much. The spot to check behind is the turn. I raise the river to $300-$350.

I'm checking that flop like 90% of the time.

Re: 5-10 -- passive with an overpair
Ok sure, I guess I'm just saying that you seem to be acting scared w/o any reason to. You give a free card when you very likely have the best hand on a draw heavy flop - I don't like to do that too often, unless I also have a draw that I don't want to blown off of. Maybe it's just a different style... I tend to bet most flops when I raise PF.

Re: 5-10 -- passive with an overpair
I like an overbet on the river. I also like the flop check. On the turn, I don't mind the call too much, but I'd consider a raise there and then don't put another dime in the pot (unless you hit an ace).
