Party 10/20 NL: Seemingly simple hand, what\'s the turn play?
10 handed Party 10/20 NL
3 folds. MP1 limps ($987). MP2 raises to 65 ($2034). MP3 folds. I call A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the CO ($2067). Button folds. SB calls ($1121). BB folds. MP1 calls. Flop: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players, pot: $280) Check, Check, Check, I bet $200. SB calls, other 2 fold. Turn: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players, pot: $680) SB checks. He has $856 behind. Was my flop bet good? FWIW, the other 2 opponents on the flop are solid regularls, but I don't think that's very relevant. What's my play on the turn? I don't know the opponent. He's been playing for about 20 minutes and hasn't done anything out of the ordinary to attract my attention. |

allin works, though you're easily outkicked or behind something else or something.

wawb but you can't let him draw out on you.
betting him all-in makes your life much easier than betting 2/3 behind. basically you are going to show this one down... |

I dont like the original call. A10 is not good there with a raise in front of you. Here its a check or a push depending on your read. Beting 2/3 of the pot is not good. Id push but i suspect he might have set a trap.

Re: Party 10/20 NL: Seemingly simple hand, what\'s the turn play?
If you are going to bet here, then don't push. IMO it looks fishy and you won't get a better hand to fold. You can bet $600 which accomplishes the same thing w/o the suspicious 'feel' to it. BUT..I don't see anything wrong with checking here. There's 4way action to the flop and right now, the only thing you beat is a draw. You also have a gutshot. Villian likely has you outkicked or is slowplaying a much better hand (set, 2p) with his short stack. I check behind and reevaluate on the river (checking behind on a brick there also..not a time to value bet against a short stack). I don't like putting 1/2 my stack in the middle with top pair no kicker just cuz the board has some draws to it.

PREFLOP POLICE:
[ QUOTE ] I dont like the original call. A10 is not good there with a raise in front of you. [/ QUOTE ] the original call is fine. It's 3% of his stack, he has a hand that is hitting to the nuts and with MPs dumb raise after a limper you can pretty much be assured it will be multiway once he calls. |

You want it to look fishy, so that he'll feel obliged to call w/a weaker ace. A push here is better than a 2/3 pot bet. both commits you anyway... |

I like your flop bet. The problem now is the stack size of the SB. I put SB on either a flush draw or an A with a questionable kicker and a push here puts him to the decision.
