basic line where I think I am losing money - 5/10 6max
I think I started making some stupid things recently so I am questioning basic lines... Villain in this hand in unknown 30/10 after 50 hands. No other reads yet.
I dont know what to do on the flop... I suspect calling is standard but what's my plan on the blank turn ? check-fold ? bet fold ? What's standard here ? Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font> Button ($1629) SB ($435.50) BB ($1278) Hero ($1025) MP ($815) Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $5. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $35</font>, MP calls $35, Button calls $35, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Flop: ($120) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $80</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $160</font>, Button folds, Hero calls $80.

gotta fold that on flop w/o solid reads because it's impossible to extract more from worse hands / or get cheap showdown OOP (because you will likely be forced to check most turns, showing somewhat of a weakness).
I think turn bluff looks good, the bet size makes it look like a value bet, kind of bet you'd make with sets/ AJ. |

Unless theyve been messing with you or calling lots of your open raises in position then easy fold on teh flop to the minraise with no draws on board.

Yeah, but what happens if that A doesnt hit. I think that A really helped you out on this hand. If a blank low card comes off do you still bet?

do you still bet? [/ QUOTE ] My original plan was to bet a blank turn. I am not sure about it.. (that's why I post the hand). I think Villain often have lower pair or he hit his connector as natural play with J is a call for most Villains. I dont know if it is worth continuing though. |

Why did you call the raise to $160 with the jack on board? To me it looks like the villain put you on AK and folded when the A hit .
Also according to Sklansky and Malmuth 99 is a calling hand in early position. |

his hand looks alot like either a mid strengh top pair type hand or a big hand. either way, unless a great card falls on the turn (ace), your line isnt any better than either 3 betting or folding. i like flat calling raises like that on the flop if i am in position, so i can pot the turn if he checks it. that isnt the case here, so i see no real benefit to playing it this way.
given that you got to the turn how you did, i like the lead out alot. |
