TT in shorthanded game

cs3 · #1 07-08-2005, 07:38 PM

I had just sat down at the table about 25 hands ago. However, Villain played about 20 of those hands and raised pre flop half the time. Showed down some very suspect cards that happened to win large pots (played K7 into raised pot and eneded up with miracle straight etc)

Here is my confrontaiton with him:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB :#A500AF(villain)/ (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Button ($24.2)
SB ($9.1)
BB :#A500AF(villain)/ ($22.22)
UTG ($40.01)
Hero ($22.15)

Preflop: Hero is MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, BB :#A500AF(villain)/ calls $0.75, UTG calls $0.75.

Flop: ($3.10) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
villain bets $2, UTG folds, Hero raises to $6, villain calls $4.

Turn: ($15.10) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
villain bets $4.

Now what do you do? Thoughts on the play so far?

Play so far is standard, future play is dependant on how likely it is villain will call with a draw on the flop, if you think he does, I raise the turn to $10 and go from there.

If not, call and call a small river bet or check through (unless of course you spike a 10).

Flop raise is too small for this board.
Villian looks like hes trying to slow you down and hit his draw for cheap. How did he bet the K7 hand? Knowing things like that helps

I wouldve made a bigger play on the flop and tried to take the pot then. On the turn the way you played it, its a matter of how confident you are with an overpair on a board of 2flush/straight

so do you think I shouldve raised the flop full pot or overbet the pot there?

I pushed.
He waited till the timer dropped down to 3sec then called.
River was a blank.

He showed A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for 7's and 4's.

Do you think my push was correct, or a very bad play?

anyone else?
so do most people think this is a standard play, or too overaggressive?

Your play was perfect on all streets. You cant raise less than all in on the turn because you only have 15 left, and pot+hisbet is 19.
