UTG+1 is 35.96/3.62/1.42 after 1000 and MP1 is 41.50/9.47 after 400. The blinds are tight and passive. shant is MP3. This is my first orbit playing with him at 10/20 and he does not know it is me. I think that he knows that the the limpers are bad because I know he datamines.

He almost surely has a flush; this is hand reading 101 imo. He's not quite loose enough to be limping tons of suited connectors here. Granted, the [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]s on the board are such that connectors like 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] are possible here I think that Ax[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hands are more likely given his VPIP.

I think this is simple hand-reading, and I like a call here. If that makes me a wuss, then it makes me a wuss. I really don't know what else he could have here if he doesn't have Axh and maybe a suited connector or two.

Really? Am I a huge donkey for thinking this is a really easy and standard threebet? If he has the nuts, so be it, but with 35VPIP he can have any suited connector... Like jason implied, he might not even have a flush here although it's the most likely case. I've played hands in the PP 10/20 where in this situation the check/raiser has had as little as 2 pair... I don't see how this is even a question - if you're not going to threebet this then what are you going to threebet? Flame me away

of course he has the flush. And of course you have to call. Quit trying to play poker, this is limit.

Wow, are you saying call instead of threebet here too?

Jeffage · #9 12-07-2005, 12:48 AM

I raise this as well. Many suited connectors will be played by this type of player up front and they don't all contain the ace. Also, this is online poker...he doesn't even necessarily have to have the flush to make this raise (though obv that is pretty unlikely). I will reraise this everyday of the week - but maybe I suck (feels that way sometimes).

I think this thread will have about 50 replies, mostly bc JasonT posted it and it was a seemingly no brainer hand so people will think there is a big mystical secret within b/c the answer seems so "obvious." I think it is obvious in a limit game online against a loose opponent. Reraise. If he has the nuts, so be it. And I'm sure he did...or this post might have been on the cutting room floor (and no, none of this is an an insult to Jason - it is the nature of message boards, poker and this forum).
