Default LiveAtBike Final Hand

Earlier tonight wandered into the Bike and found an open seat in the middle of the 5-5 blind 300-500 spread buy NL game being web-cast on LiveAtBike

Game was OK and I spent about 90 minutes folding and stealing a few small pots. Final hand of the web cast I take the big blind. Loose, somewhat aggressive player limps. Average player calls. Extremely tight, solid, observant player sitting two off the button makes it $35. All but average player have me well covered. I have TdTc and decide to just call since the pre flop raiser is very likely to have an overpair. Both limpers call so pot is $140 after drop.

Flop comes Js-Ts-x.

With about $450 left what’s my play?

Default What I Did

I bet $150. Both pre flop limpers fold. Super tight pre-flop raiser went into the tank and eventually folded showing his hand (KQ offsuit). I believe he is one of few players playing fixed buy no limit who would make that laydown.

Now think this was a spot to go for checkraise. Pre flop raiser would often take a free card with AK or AQ but will probably bet close to pot on overpairs (and I think he would have bet his KQ).

If he bets I checkraise all-in, forcing possible draws or overpair to call big money cold. If all fold, that’s OK, $300 pot on “drawy” board OK to win with set.

Comments?

Not really, he had just about the right odds to call to hit the nut straight. Calling or folding KQo there is pretty ev-neutral.

Not when he is against a set.

I pray that you are using some kind of reverse serious humor or something.

When I used to post a lot on mid limit holdem didn't put in results but this time decided to put it in a seperate post. Hopefully it won't be looked at before getting replies.

I use flat mode and I think a lot of other people do as well.

Good point. I'll avoid posting results right away next time, even in a separate post.

Also am relatively certain going for checkraise all-in is the best play. Unless someone disagrees, don't really expect more comments.
