How would you play this hand?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed)
CO (t400) Button (t750) SB (t1125) BB (t1860) UTG (t385) UTG+1 (t740) Hero (t600) MP1 (t730) MP2 (t745) MP3 (t665) Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls t45, UTG+1 calls t45. Flop: (t190) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">BB bets t300</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t540 (All-In)</font>, BB calls t240. Still early in tourny. BB has played 6/10 hands so far and knocked out one player with K/K on a board of A 3 3 2...check/called a flop bet and checked/called the turn all-in. He also called a 125t preflop raise with Q/9s, missed and stayed till river. Two other hands of interest were a Q/6s call in the SB for a mini raise(45t), and one hand where he went all-in (490t)after calling a pot size bet (125t)vs my T/T when the board paired eights on the turn. Who out there would fold this? Who all would push? (like I did) Would you fear a set or two pair? Would you raise more preflop? I'm curious to know how others would play this hand. Husker |

His bet of 300 could mean anything - straight draw, flush draw, pair of kings. He's committed to your all-in so he'll call here unless it was a total bluff. I think it's worth going for. I only play 10+1 - perhaps you can respect BBs overbet in a higher limit game. [ QUOTE ] Would you raise more preflop? [/ QUOTE ] No. I'm aiming to get 2-3 callers for as much as possible. You got that, so it was a good move. On some tables a 4x BB raise here would get loads of callers - in those cases I might make it 100. With your short stack I'd be aiming to get around 200-300 in the pot so I can get all my chips in on the flop. |

Re: How would you play this hand?
Thanks for the feedback, I feel better about my thinking/play here.
Unfortunately, the villan had 9/9 in the pocket and I was headed for the rail. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] My big pockets have been getting killed by small flopped sets in the last few. Thought maybe I had a sign on my forehead there a sec. Thanks again. Husker |
