Default View to a Kill

A couple of simple questions.

Playing at the new-old standby 10/20 w/half-kill. Table is playing super loose passive. Pot is killed by an LP player and I am in the BB with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

EP (very LP older woman) calls, MP1 (another LP older woman) calls, LP (poster, decent player) checks, button (decent player, 2+2 lurker) calls, SB folds, BB (hero) completes.

I say (loud enough for the LP and button to hear): "I need a very specific flop, dealer."

Flop (5.33SB): Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Here bets.


Should I fold here pre-flop for 1/3 of a SB? (15:1)

Do you bet out with top pair/no kicker against this kind of group?


Edit: LP used for poster is "late position" not "loose passive"

You should probably fold pre-flop, because you're now have hit the flop OOP against 4 players, playing 20/40.

In related news, is this the Casino Arizona game?

It's half-kill so it goes to 15/30 not 20/40... and it is not the Casino Arizona -- it is on the east coast in the city that never sleeps.

Chuck,

I think the concensus is that if you are playing 15/30 and you are in the $10 small blind in an unraised pot, you should complete for $5 with absolutely any two cards because your odds/implied odds are so high. I always basically played by that rule whenever in the big blind in the half-kill game in a kill pot. So pre-flop I think you just close your eyes and throw in a redbird.

As for the flop, I'm probably playing "check-and-see." I'd like to see the action behind me. I could well be dominated, and I'd love to get a better chance for hand protection if possible by check-raising a loose late position bet.

I was wondering what the best line is here. In no limit, OOP with TPWK and a small to medium size pot, I often bet out. I hadn't really thought about how to handle it here and just instinctively threw in a bet.

Everybody knows that Timothy Dalton was the best bond ever, no matter how much Walken you have.

I am old, but not real old, so I grew up on Roger Moore as Bond and he will always be Bond to me. The Man with the Golden Gun was my first Bond film.

Grace Jones as a supposedly "hot" Bond girl makes me cry softly in my sleep sometimes.

Were you even born when Roger Moore was Bond?
