Preflop.
Raising and calling are both fine. I'd dislike the raise if players behind you had you covered, but they dont, so im down. Flop. I like. Sometimes I'll bet here, a normal cb but also I want LP to fold and maker the hand easier. There's nothing wrong with your line though. Turn. You catch a really good card for your hand and he makes another small bet, you are either crushed or ahead. Obviously this is the real decision point. If you call here you are pretty much committed to closing your eyes and calling any riverbet. I dont love the spot that you get yourself into here, but im ok with following through and calling down. River. After the turn call this is automatic imo. His bet is only half the pot so you are getting 3:1 so you only need to be ahead 1/4 of the time to call. but again, you've created those odds for yourself with the turn decision. |

Preflop - I like to mix up my play with small/mid pairs so raising and calling both work for me.
Flop - Again I like to mix it up with one of: a ck and call a continuation bet a ck raise So again I'm fine with your play on the flop Turn - I don't hate the ck call with the intention of calling any river but I probably am more apt to ck raise all in here and take it down (assuming it's mine). The all in ck raise should get rid of pocket 9's and pocket 10's which are two of the hands that my opponent could be holding in this spot. It's a nice pot which adds plenty of bullets to my gun, gimmee. |

Re: 88 in EP. (Stars $20 Deepstack) Oh, and i\'m a calling station.
I wanna lay this down post flop if a continuation bet fails to drive them away..- don't ask me why....
but I'm not usually in the Big Stack tourneys - hate taking 10 hrs to finish a tourney. I have no problem with the raise EP - and a nice fired out bet - but after that I would probably shut down... don't suppose you wanna tell us what he had? - RB |
