TT J high flop

Nice_Guy · #1 02-20-2005, 08:20 PM

I'm wondering if this kind of out of position betting is a leak for me. Any suggestions?

The BB is a maniac. What bothers me in this hand is the villain is a TA-P (about 30 hands).

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 3 folds, MP3 calls, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (6.33 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls, BB calls.

Turn: (4.66 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls, BB calls.

River: (7.66 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls, BB folds.

Final Pot: 9.6 BB

Villain has 99 and YHIG?

My thinking after the flop action was that his likely hands were 99, AJ or maybe KJs. But why no raise with AJ or KJs so it must be 99.

However...MHING!

Do you not get the hand histories? Can you not see what he had? Just curious. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I know exactly what he had. AJ

I play it the same way. When nobody gives you any oppposition on a board like this, continuing to bet your high pocket pair is the right thing to do.

Put you in the vilian's shoes, if you have AJs, do you think that he played his hand well?
I may consider to raise this flop for information if the preflop raiser is not very aggressive.

Nope; he made a questionable (in my tight-mind) call preflop. Hit TPTK and doesn't even raise the flop nor turn?

Back to the orignal question, I think the poster played fine. You will get paid-off much more often in this situation then you'll lose.
