77 against pre-flop raiser
Paradise Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">BB caps</font>, Hero calls. I'm re-raising BB to get heads up. If he has two overcards, then its a coin-flip. With a higher PP I'm toast. I get my mind set on calling this one to the river. Flop: (9 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls. Not a great flop, but heads up I think my hand might be good. BB could be on a straight draw with overcards. He might have hit TP with a J in the pocket. He could also be bluffing. I call, but it feels too weak? Perhaps a raise would be better? Feel free to elaborate. Turn: (5.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls. I pick up a gut shot, but a 9 could also make a higher straight for BB. I'm still thinking my 77 might hold up, so I call. River: (7.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls. No way I'm folding to a bet here. Final Pot: 9.50 BB Disgusting play on my part with all the calling, but then again I never post my good plays here. How should I go about this one?

Re: 77 against pre-flop raiser
What hands will opponents at $0.50/$1.00 cap pre-flop with? I don't think he has AQo. You have position on him and he never slows down. You probably need to hit a 7 to continue this hand past the turn (if even that far).

[/ QUOTE ] Do you know something about this opponent? This is a terrible strategy to have even before you've seen the flop. I'd maybe fold pre-flop. Definitely fold the flop. The river as well.

[/ QUOTE ] He tried to steal the blinds a couple of rounds ago when he was on the button, but folded to my reraise. I have also seen him play some borderline hands quite aggressively out of position (raising with KQo in early position). I wouldn't rate him as a great player.

But read around the board, you'll see this is a standard pre-flop raise.

Definitely fold the flop. [/ QUOTE ] I agree folding is best given the preflop cap. But would raising be better than calling? Then he can give up if villain keeps firing.
