Re: You raise for the first time in an hour? I cold call!
Sorry. 1st limper BETs, others fold, cutoff raises.

Another factor is that you have terrible relative position... [/ QUOTE ] |

If the blinds are loose, I'm calling.

you just cant call 2 bets cold from a tight raiser "looking for the flush". this is very basic stuff... [/ QUOTE ] i agree here - only on party can you make money calling 2 cold bets with A9s - its a bad habit to get into. now how bout skipping the suspense and show us how you [censored] your way into a large pot by hitting the full house |

I would call, with folding being the second best option. Raising here seems truly awful.

Re: You raise for the first time in an hour? I cold call!
I'm not on a top pair hand with A9s here. I'm on a nut flush draw hand in a multiway pot.
And I think my hand is very likely good once I hit two pair -- the cutoff's raise makes me think he has a big ace which I have reverse dominated or maybe a hand like KK/QQ. If he has the two remaining aces, I'm in big trouble but it's not likely. The question on the flop is how to make the most $$ with my two pair. |

Re: You raise for the first time in an hour? I cold call!
Given your read and your position on the PFR, this is closer to a fold. Granted, a call is EV-neutral via the effective and implicit pot size. This would be a much easier call say the TAG raised in EP and there were 3 cold callers afterward as you can make up the Ace-domination with better position on the PFR.

It's not just party. I was at Foxwoods playing 4-8 a week or so back and the game was loose as can be. Low stakes holdem games tend to be loose -- when I find a tight one, I generally switch tables.

Re: You raise for the first time in an hour? I cold call!
That is the one factor I didn't think of -- and it definitely did limit my return when I actually hit my two pair on the flop.
I three bet the raise, because the ep limper was a calling station and I thought the BB would call 3 about as well as 2. In the event, this may have been a mistake as they both folded. Cutoff called and we went to the turn with 9.5BB in the pot. It came off A93 5 rainbow and he bet right out. Some players are so suspicious. Naturally I.... |
