A9s in EP

Tosh · #1 05-01-2004, 07:08 PM

Table is not as aggressive as normal at party 15/30; not much outright bluffing and a bet normally means a decent hand. CO and BB seem to be average players, I certainly haven't observed them getting out of line yet.

Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB checks.

Flop: (5.66 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 players) 
BB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, CO checks.

Turn: (2.83 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players) 
BB checks, Hero bets, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls, BB calls.

River: (6.83 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players) 
BB checks, Hero bets, MP2 folds, CO calls, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, CO caps, BB folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 16.83 BB
Main Pot: 16.83 BB, between Hero and CO.

If I were coming in w/ A9s pf, I would have raised. Having raised, I would have bet on the flop.

My preflop play of this hand would be fold, raise, and call about 60/30/10.

You 2 don't think A9s is playable in EP at party ? I would certainly disagree with that at about 95% of the tables.

I haven't played that much Party 15/30, but it would be raise or fold time for me with a hand like A9s in early position, first player to enter the pot.

A lot of players like to raise and isolate the limper at these tables, in my experience, YMMV.

c'mon now. a9s is quite playable in all but the most aggressive games on party. this is something i'm now very comfortable with... raise/call/fold for ME= 0%/95%/5%

thats it...i never raise with it because that seems just retarded to me. why put in that much money out of position with a ahnd you'd LIKE MORE CALLERS with? i limp almost all the time as that engenders more limping and an occasional raise which i don't mind too much. i fold against those maniacs who will likely have it be 2 or 3 more back to me which i'd have to fold to so theres no reason to limp in the first place.

I'm wondering what the hell the CO calls then caps with on the river, he either misread his hand or is colluding with the BB?

i would have played it exactly the same, and for what it's worth i play ONLY the party 15/30

AceHigh · #9 05-02-2004, 10:32 PM

Well, alrighty then.

you are correct about the frequent isolation raises but it can be dealt with, even after limping
