I've had a couple of hands just like this one recently and they leave me baffled.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (6 handed) converter saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font> CO (t2003) Button (t3694) SB (t8205) <font color="C00000">Hero (t3246)</font> UTG (t7221) <font color="C00000">MP (t5631)</font> Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls t300, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, Hero checks. Flop: (t750) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">MP bets t300</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t1500</font>, MP calls t1200. Turn: (t3750) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">Hero bets t1446 (All-In)</font>, MP calls t1446. River: (t6642) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t6642 <font color="green">Main Pot: t6642 (t6642), between Hero and MP.</font> > <font color="white">Pot won by MP (t6642).</font> Results in white below: <font color="white"> MP has Ts Qs (two pair, queens and tens). Hero has 9d Tc (two pair, tens and nines). Outcome: MP wins t6642. </font> Even though I'm on the bubble, I think I have to play this flopped two-pair. Since the board is pretty scary, I decide to check-raise. I figure my opponent will make some play at the pot and I think the check-raise is the best way to show as strongly as possible that I have a made hand. (I realize after the fact that If I make this play, I should go all-in since my bet leaves me pretty pot committed.) Is this the right play? Or do I pass on this danger flop (with only my blind in play) to ease into the money? Was my opponent's call after the flop correct? I know I have trouble with hands like this in underestimating my opponent's chances. After the flop, I'm only a 52% favorite based on his hand. Thanks for the help! |
