Yes you are drawing dead to a flush so you need an overlay on your outs to call. 2 queen outs and 3 jack outs that's five. Don't be so quick to discount your 2 ten outs. What hand do you put the others on that contains a jack? Even if you only have 5 outs that's 8.2:1 and you are getting 9:1 closing the action. Like I said, it's close. I wouldn't fault anyone for folding.

4. 7 bet / 2 check
5. 2 call / 7 fold
6. 5 raise / 4 call
7. 4 call / 5 fold
8. 5 raise / 3 call / 1 abstain (boo Rico [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )

Very interesting - 6, 7 & 8 especially!

Gravy says (with respect to no. 7): "Not close, LW. If there's a flush out there, you're drawing dead. The J , T can't be considered clean outs. Also, any T puts four to the straight on the board. I would muck this every time."

At micro limits to a raise in this spot from the button? I agree with LW. There's a not insignificant chance that I have the best hand here -- i.e., if the Button is playing AJ or AT with the Ace of hearts (I discount AK because there was no raise). Heck, some players would play T7 or 97. KJ, KT, K9 Kx suited (not necessarily hearts) are also possibilities, and I have outs against those.

Hand 6)
For those of you who are saying raise; what hand do you put UTG on that he 3 bets the preflop raiser, calls the cap then leads the turn. He knows you could have AK. On the flop you were hoping he had KQ. That hope is gone on the turn. Unless he is a maniac, call. Against the right player you could fold.

1. Raise
2. Call usually but opponent dependent, against a more aggressive micro-limit opponent I'd raise
3. Fold
4. Bet
5. Cold-Call
6. Call down with tears running down your cheeks and expect to lose. This really depends on the player though, against many I would just fold.
7. Fold.
8. Cap.

[PokerNoob]

I'll take it that these are beginning microlimit opponents who may or may not know what they are doing.


1) Raise. I fear no flush until shown otherwise.

2) Crycall. If he has anything other than KJ put him in buddy list.

3) Fold. Don't get caught up in the raising war. Anytwo sometimes gets good cards too.

4) Check and see what develops. I'm in favor of slowplaying made near nut flushes.

5) 8:1 on your gutshot and runner runner broadway and flush. Take one off. I doubt anybody is going to get off their ace if the 9 falls. Implied++

6) Call if you think he's capable of limping K9, 99 or 44 UTG. Raise otherwise. Get ready to make notes.

7) Fold to all but the most clueless players.

8) Fold if they are capable of slowplaying.

[Gravy (Gravy Smoothie)]

Wow, I'm looking at the more controversial hands and realizing I misread them.

6) call down (got the position reversed)
8) call (misread the river action)
