2-7 TD Hand
I am in SB with 236. One guy limps. I call. BB raises. We both call.
I draw 2. BB draws 1. Limper draws 2. I brick out. I check. BB bets, limper calls and I call also. I draw 2. BB draws 1. Limper stands pat. I catch perfect, and now have 23467. Is this a must bet or a good spot for a check-raise? Michael |

Re: 2-7 TD Hand
I would check-raise.

Re: 2-7 TD Hand
fold the hand when you brick the first time. Other than that, I like the raise [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The 6 defines the fold, the hero will be first to act on the next round putting him in an uncomfortable position if he improves one card. Yes its possible to catch a hand, but the 6 makes it more likely that the Hero will catch a hand such as 87623 - which may hold up, but is still not a good holding. The pot is just not big enough to take the risk IMHO. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] |

You're going to do that more than 1 time in 9. 876 is somewhat more difficult, but you always have the option of dumping the 8. |

Re: 2-7 TD Hand
I would tend to check-raise as well, but it depends on the players. I think there is a decent portion of time that the BB will check if he bricks again, since the player stood pat behind him. If the limper is a very passive player, then I might bet it out to ensure that you get at least one bet from each of them on this round.

Re: 2-7 TD Hand
The more I think about this, the more I think a check-raise might cause both opponents to fold, which would be a disaster. I would still do it if I knew BB would coldcall two if he's still drawing, or if limper goes to showdown too tenaciously, but if not, I'm not sure. I think check-call, stand pat, and bet might be better. That way you're almost sure to get another bet out of the limper's bad pat hand, a bet from BB to draw, and maybe another one from him on the end.

Re: 2-7 TD Hand
1. Although 246 isn't a premium draw, I still think it is a pretty easy call for the precise reasons already mentioned.
2. I am also convinced that a check-raise MUST be correct here. If the limper is rational, he almost HAS to bet here after standing pat, otherwise he may as well "call-in-the-dark" before the third draw. I had not thought about the idea that the check-raise would kill my action. Although I was playing a medium limit game, I still don't think that either of my opponents were going to lay down anything, even if it was just a rough 8 draw. 3. In the actual hand, the action after the hand was checked around. I stood pat, BB took 1, and the limper now TOOK TWO (thus, it must have been a misclick on the previous draw). Michael |
