($27) Follow my read?
Getting used to 8-tabling at the $27s. Approximate thoughts in bold.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter UTG (t2115) Hero (t1690) MP1 (t3010) MP2 (t1670) CO (t1890) Button (t695) SB (t1800) BB (t630) Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t350</font> Did he just limp-minraise me? This couldn't be more aces. Can't really fold getting these odds though. I hope i either hit a monster or totally whiff this so I can happily get away from it. Hero calls t150. Flop: (t775) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> son of a [censored]. UTG checks, Crap. I still think he has aces, so I don't want to push into him, and any bet commits me.. maybe see a turn? god i dunno Hero checks. Turn: (t775) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t1765 (All-In)</font> Son of a [censored]. He must have aces, but can I fold this, but.. oh hell this sucks. Bleaaaagh. 3 questions: 1) Raise preflop good? (i suspect it's ok) 2) Check flop good? (i suspect it's not) 3) Now what? (I have a huge read that he has aces, but if I'm wrong then i'm the world's biggest donkey. This is like folding KK preflop) BLAAAAGH. |

Raise pf is fine, call is not. Fold the turn given your read, if you're wrong so what? You still have over 2k chips, let it go.

Re: ($27) Follow my read?
Definitely smells like AA-JJ. I would actually fold preflop after the limp reraise. I don't think 4:1 pot odds alone is good enough to justify the call. You need a specific read (i.e. villain unable to get away from AA), such that you know you can double through him if you hit a special flop. The way it played out, since you didn't get the flop you needed (QQx, KJT, 3 diamonds, etc), it's an easy check-fold.

Re: ($27) Follow my read?
Following your read here means folding preflop I think. You aren't getting odds to hit a flush/straight/trips here are you?

Re: ($27) Follow my read?
1) I like the raise and the amount of the raise. I had a similar preflop hand in a live cash game recently and had the same read (AA). I called the raise but I'm thinking that going with a strong read like that and folding might have been best.
2) Ugh. I think checking there is ok, given the read you have. I wouldnt be totally opposed to betting there if you think there's any chance the guy doesnt have AA, KK or QQ. 3) Folding there is fine. |
