Oh man, that can't be a good turn card for us. I'm putting the brakes on. Call me weak tight. What are we ahead of here other than some random PP? Check-call a small bet, fold to any real heat.

weak tightie

I play this pretty much the same if I am smooth calling pf, but I definitely like putting a reraise in here.

I wasn't talking about pre-flop, I was talking about the turn. Don't tell me you're getting aggressive on that turn card.

I like the smooth call preflop. It keeps villains in the dark about what we are holding, keeps the pot small given that we are OOP, and prevents the weird mini-raiser from getting an opportunity to reraise a monster pre-flop (particularly given that we are suited and we want the opportunity to flop a nut flush draw and potentially stack the weird mini-raiser if he's holding something he can't let go of).

I'm having a real tough time putting villain on a hand. I have no idea what the min-raise means. It seems from the action that he is afraid of the board as much as you. I can't see him giving you 2 free cards after the flop and turn if he had 2 pair or a set. KQ and maybe AT seems to be the most likely cards he would hold unless he's the kind to raise with low PP in late position. It would be a real killer if he hit a set on the river.

I'd have to call this river just for information.

I think this hand becomes much easier with a PF re-raise to about 75-100ish. As it stands, the flop bet is mandatory...I was thinkin checkraise but I use that way too much, and a free card can be disastrous, plus it doesn't give you that much more info.

The turn card is friggin scary, but I think you gotta announce that you like you're hand here and put in another 150 or so. After that, I think i'm done with it.

How's your line if he bets out on the turn? Edit: Say 150-175 for instance.

Umm...I dunno its a tough situation. It would depend how I felt, I'd either fold or flat call, with the intention of checking the river and folding to a bet. The thing is that if he has just an ace he will often check behind on the river (thinking that his ace is good), so I can find out if my hand is good cheap. Anyway I have to think about this hand more....But for now I gotta goto sleep [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
