Playing the mortal nuts, 100nl
I took a shot at 100nl ($1BB) on party last night when this hand came up. I didnt record it so bare with me. I feel like I played it donkishly even though I got paid.
I was delt T9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the button of my third orbit. Villian was UTG+2 with about $115 to my $100. I hadn't paid too much attention to him, but he didn't give me a reason to notice. I wasn't being nut peddler by any means, but I'm not sure if he noticed me either. He makes it $3 to go, I call as do the blinds. Flop comes T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Check Check he bets $15, I call, blinds fold. Turn is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] He bets $15 again into a ~$45 pot. And I min raise him. (Bleh) River is the J of [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], which completes any draws he may have been semi bluffing. He bets out $30, and I go all in for another $22 and he folds??? I feel like I played it really passively. I didn't raise the flop because I was hoping one of the blinds would come along. I made the min raise on the turn as a value bet because I was pretty sure he wouldn't fold to it and I was worried that he would shut it down on the river after the first two bets. Do you push the turn? Raise the flop? |

I don't have that big of an issue with that line - if he isn't calling the river raise, he's not calling if you push harder before.
BTW, "mortal nuts"? You could technically be beaten here by several hands |

I know its not THE mortal nuts, I was just saying that for effect. In fact, I just noticed that TT beats me. I already noticed the straight flush. If he would have turned that over, I wouldn't be posting this because my computer would be broken and my house would be burned down.

Anyone who gets upset about losing a buy-in to a straight flush should probably drop down to more comfortable stakes. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I believe the term your looking for is immortal nuts. Although one could say mortal nuts if its beatable.

I don't mind this play at all. I mean, if he didn't call the river re-raise than he wasn't calling any bigger move earlier. Also, You COPULD be beaten by a few hands here. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Somtimes I might Overplay this on the flop. I do this to make it look like I have a T or I am stealling. A lot of times someone will call you. However, this ussually works when you are leading at it. Anywho, it looks good to me. Nice catch. |

Re: Playing the mortal nuts, 100nl
I don't mind your line since you almost got your whole stack in by the river, but villain must be just plain bad. He managed to leave you with $22 on the river and then folded getting 8.5 to 1 odds. What the hell could he had have?

Re: Playing the mortal nuts, 100nl
I think you played it well If you raised to $40 on the turn a OESD or flush or ten with a nice kicker and definately a 9 would probably call you though.
