Re: What would you do?
How much does UTG have left? Unless it is a small amount, say 5 or 6000, I am leaning toward fold.

Re: What would you do?
I am going to need more information. What are the stack sizes? How long till the blinds go up? How steep is the payout structure? How have your opponents played?

Re: What would you do?
UTG has almost identical stack as you.
The table is fairly typical; a couple of LAG's, a couple of TAG's, one or two passive players. In general, all are solid players. No one has a dominant stack. Blinds will increase in ten minutes to 2000-4000, and double every twenty minutes thereafter. Payout is 50% to win, 30% for second, 20% for third, fourth gets $50. (I realize the percentages would have to change a little for this extra $50). Please keep the comments coming! |

Re: What would you do?
very player dependent. Some players won't raise UTG w/ less than JJ-AA/AK maybe AQ.
Some will do it w/ JTs. You really have to narrow his range to find out what you should do. |

Re: What would you do?
In general they are solid players - from what I have seen in these situations you are usually up against a very similar hand or 88,99. Do you want a coin flip right now? I don't. But I'm a tight player in this spot.

Re: What would you do?
With the whole table yet to act, this is a guaranteed fold for me. I'd have to put him on 99-AA or AK. Even if I knew the rest of the table would fold and watch the show, I couldn't call this. AQ is just too vulnerable.

The decision
Being a below average player, I re-raised to a total of 16,000T. My thoughts were: He probably has 66-AA or AK outside shot AQ. This player is solid, but has shown a tendency to be a LAG. I thought I could push him off 66-maybe JJ and quite possibly AK and AQ.
After my raise, he exhibited his major tell and then I knew he had J's or better. He called. The Flop is 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] He checks. What do you do?? |

[/ QUOTE ] That's pretty obvious. You know he has JJ-AA, so you check. You get a free card for your nut flush. If you move all in he'll call with his JJ-AA and you could lose all your chips. |

Re: The decision
I would check and hope you hit the flush on the turn. I definately wouldn't bet into him if you're pretty sure he's got JJ-AA.
