Good place or a Bad Place? AQo.
My 2nd hand at the table so no reads apart from 20 hands of datamining. Sb was 40/8/1.4 and UTG was 49/4/1.2
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 7 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls. Flop: (13 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, MP1 calls, Hero?? |

Re: Good place or a Bad Place? AQo.
whew that is tough. i'm tempted to cold call and see what the turn brings, but i'm nervous that SB might 3-bet behind us and it is going to be an expensive hand especially since we're behind a lot of villain's possible 3-betting hands here.
but, figuring you're not drawing dead to JT (which is doubtful at this point), so i'm guessing you have ~3-4 outs and getting 9:1 and you need 10.5:1, so with implied odds and the slim fact we could still have the best hand, i think cold calling is the best idea. i thought about 3-betting, but someone else is going to have to convince me of that as we have a strong hand but we're just asking to get capped and i'd like to see the turn right now. |

Re: Good place or a Bad Place? AQo.
I think the difference between folding and cc'ing is minimal. I would prolly cc, cuz I'm a stubborn cuss, but I wouldn't argue against a fold. I really can't see 3betting being a good play here.

Re: Good place or a Bad Place? AQo.
UTG's raise has me scared because it followed pf raise/3-bet and flop bet by other players who were indicating much strength, giving me information that UTG's hand is likely very strong (unless he's a complete maniac, which, despite his numbers, I'm not sure we can say with such a limited number of hands on him). I go into calldown mode, and dare I say it, am even tempted to fold (but won't). I don't think anyone is folding to your 3-bet in light of the prior action, either.

I know it doesn't make much sense for a good player to call the raise/3-bet with T9, but I think it was a possible range given his early indication numbers, and then it jumped to the top with his flop play. |

Re: Good place or a Bad Place? AQo.
This is a hard line to draw. I would not be surprised if it went 4 bets here. SB already showed aggression and there is no reason to think he won't 3 bet this behind you. Because of the expectation for it to get capped, I 3bet and see what comes on the turn. If a blank falls and aggression is still shown in front of you again, then you can fold.

Also, I wasn't being a smart alek about T9 -- I just thought I might be missing something, which happens often. |

Re: Good place or a Bad Place? AQo.
KT, QT, JT, 99- mabye someone would like to mathematically work it out, but i figuring there are as many hands he could have that we beat as hands that beat us...
(and i didn't think you were being smart about the T9) |
