Top pair runs into resistance..

MP1 is a mouse after 60 hands with vpip of <10%.

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
MP1 raises , Hero calls,

Flop: (5.50 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 bets, Hero raises, MP1 3-bets, Hero calls.

Obviously his three bet here worries me. Still, I think it's worth a call.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 bets, Hero calls.

A fold? or a raise?

River: (7.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 bets, Hero raises, MP1 3-bets, Hero....

Final Pot: 13.75 BB.

I call and get shown AK. I woulda reraised preflop if the raise came from MP.

Raise an MP raiser- even against a mouse? He had a preflop raise of less than 5% and he and the blinds were the only people who could be in the hand- I thought this was one of the rare cases where a CC was justified..

Happy to be wrong, but interested in why...

If he is a mouse, then why not respect his raise and fold preflop?

#5 10-06-2005, 07:18 AM

Call it.

Good question. I considered it, but 2 factors- on I thought that I could be ahead of him on a number of hands, and 2 I tend (perhaps wrongly) to beleive that I can outplay people like this on the flop, especially on lowish or scary boards.

Call the flop, call the turn, raise-call the river, admire villain's AK, and go on to the next hand.

I would also have called the turn bet. I think that your "rock" opponent had a range of AA,KK or AK at that stage. With 7 outs to 2 pair or a gut-shot, I think that you had just enough odds to call.

I would just have called MP1's river bet. Although he may have AA, his bet suggests AK to me.

Yeah, call and expect to lose. The rest of the hand is ok.

I think I might 4-bet the flop and release if he leads the turn. KQ ain't in the lead.
