Help on SB play...
I've been having trouble on SB situations when it is checked to me lately. Especially on Level 3 25/50 where the reward of stealing isn't that great... Here is an example hand, please tear it apart...
8 People left Hero (SB) - 850 Villian (BB) - 2500 Villian has been playing almost every hand since becoming chip leader. Hero is Dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and bets 150 Villian calls Flop Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Hero bets 200 (does 200 show weakness? Should I not have bet at all? Should have I bet pot?) Villian Calls Hero has 500, pot has 700 At this point I think he has middle/bottom pair or is on flush draw - He has put people all-in twice previous with top pair. Flop came 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I was ready give it up and save my 500 chips for a better spot as I figured he would call with middle pair. So... Hero checks. Villian checks. Should have I pushed here? After he checked, I was leaning more towards a flush draw, but still wasn't certain River was 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Hero? I checked hoping he would too and get out of this hand. Villian bets 150 It took my whole time, but I finally decided that he had a "flush draw gone bad" bet. So the pot has 850, Hero has 500, there was a bet of 150 to me... Do I call here? Results white below: <font color="white">I call. Villian shows 9h3d for a pair of 99 and wins 1000 from the pot</font> |

Re: Help on SB play...
jadowa. There are all types of wrong in this hand.
[img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I will address one issue. I would not ever make an attempt to steal when I am out of position. I would have folded this hand as soon as it was checked to me. This is especially true if your read is correct; namely, the villian is a "calling station". |
