88
Edit: No stats on villain.
My effective position was 2 seats later than normal because of a couple of empty chairs, not that it matters to you aggies who'll raise 88 UTG.

Re: 88
I'd call this turn. His 3-bet PF could be a bigger PP, but it could also be AK/AQ with one big spade. He'd 3-bet the flop with the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] unless he's passive, but I don't like raising because you can't really fold to a 3-bet with ~4 outs to beat A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Ax.
Call, and then fold a spade river, call a non-spade river, and raise a non-spade 5 or 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. |

Re: 88
Thank you. My analysis exactly, with the exception of calling a non-spade non-8 non-5 river. Call again in the face of continued aggression? My plan was to fold the river UI if he followed up. Does that make my turn call incorrect?
Is the only reason I call a non-spade, and presumably non-ace non-king, river the fact that the suited board might indicate ramming the nut-flush draw? What about 2 spades on the flop? What about rainbow? |

[/ QUOTE ] Well, calling in the hopes of spiking a 5 or 8 only is okay, since you're getting 9:1 on the turn call. But I'd still call the river because you'll be getting 11:1 once he bets the river. Is there a 9% chance that your hand is good? Probably, so I'd call. Most of the time his river bet means you're toast, but that 1-in-11 chance that he's trying to push you off with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Kx that never got there is enough to get me to call. [ QUOTE ] What about 2 spades on the flop? What about rainbow? [/ QUOTE ] I used to fold the turn in all of these spots -- monotone, 2-flush, and rainbow -- but a lot of respected SS posters have encouraged me to never fold an overpair against an unknown. I still find that a bit too loose a strategy, but it could be correct. |

Does everyone raise this flop? I probably don't, FWIW.

I don't think the sort of CO who will hold a low singleton spade is folding very often here for one or two bets, FWIW. I definitely think it's happening sometimes but combined with how often BB has you in a bad place already (single spade overcards & overpairs) I'm not sure that it's really worth it. I dunno. I think it's close, I'm mulling it over right now. Right now I'm considering folding the flop. |

He got trapped in the hand PF and is probably begging for an excuse to get out. [/ QUOTE ] I know that CO posted a blind, but people aren't calling with 100% random trash there. The big thing is in this situation, CO being behind you may not be reason enough to raise with the range of hands that BB can have here. I'm torn between all three options here, but I don't know if BB leads A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] here very often. Your equity is pretty shitty on this flop 3-ways, but it doesn't improve that much by folding out CO, especially given the range of hands CO can be having anyway. You're only going to save yourself the pot when A) a 4-flush comes in, B) BB has overcards without a spade, and C) CO will actually fold whatever [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] he's holding.
