To be or not to be [a chicken]
6-max, 30 NL.
Read on villains: scant at best. Villain 2 has played too many hand in the short term I've been at the table. Villain 1 plays more like the table average - semi-loose, aggressive - but hasn't done anything that stands out. ** Bomb House Lane [Hold 'em] (0.15|0.30 No Limit - Cash Game) Real Money - Hero sitting in seat 1 with $28.35 - Villain1 sitting in seat 2 with $22.65 - Villain2 sitting in seat 4 with $4.78 - ZeroZone sitting in seat 5 with $49.34 [Dealer] - PittBull sitting in seat 6 with $20.05 PittBull posted the small blind - $0.15 Hero posted the big blind - $0.30 ** Dealing card to Hero: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Villain1 called - $0.30 Villain2 called - $0.30 ZeroZone folded PittBull folded Hero checked ** Dealing the flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Hero bet - $0.60 Villain1 raised - $1.20 Villain2 went all-in - $4.48 Hero raised - $7.76 Villain1 went all-in - $21.15 Hero ?? |

Very tough spot.
Bet a buck on the flop instead of 0.60. I probably muck this, but it's close, very close. |

I wanted him to call my raise and then I'd planned on value betting the whole way home. I'll see if I can get some more responses before I post the results. |

I call this and hope to win the big side pot. Hopefully Villain 2 is the one with the set.

Ok - I see you point but: The bet wasnt weak and it wasnt strong. I just don't like it. Don't take it personally though. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

For me to improve my thought-process, I believe I have to share it so it can be analyzed by the collective brain trust of this forum. In fact, in a way I'm glad you too interpreted my bet as inadequate. That means the head fake works. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: To be or not to be [a chicken]
I like a call here. Unless someone hit top 2, you have the best hand because its unlikely either has AA.

Re: To be or not to be [a chicken]
Unless its a set of Aces... which doesnt look likely from early betting. Maybe a mid pair (99?)

[/ QUOTE ] So I put the same question to you as 4_2_it: what hands do you think I beat that would counterweigh sets (AA, 77, 88) or 2 pair (A7, A8)? Do you seriously think enough players would play medium pairs, like 99, like villain1 did to make a call +EV? |
