paradise 500nl

[DcifrThs]

sometimes i like to play the paradise 500nl game.

i play tighter than most except sometimes i'll make one fo those standard NL plays. this is one where i want some feedback.

i have 580 or so in my stack after just winning a pot.

two avg limipers limp (490 and about 350or400) and i raise immediately after them w/ Tc9c to $20 (blinds are 2.5/5.00)

blinds fold limpers call.

9s8c3d flops checked to me and i bet 65. 1limper folds and 2nd limper makes it $75 more to me to call. i think for 2 seconds and call.

turn is Kc. limper now checks and has 206 left (this i remember but i dont remember nor feel like adding back to see what he started the hand with).

action?

This is where you either push deciding you have the best hand (or near best hand ie you might be outkicked, but you may have folding equity) or take the free card and fold to any river bet barring no made flush. Depends on a read mostly.

he could possibly have a open ended straight on the flop or top pair, i think given the circumstances looks like the K slowed him down on the turn and probably has top pair, i would put him all in hoping to win the pot, if he calls you do have 14 outs to improve your hand, its possible he might lay down A 10 in this situation.

I would check here, and fold barring improvement.

[punter11235]

I would go allin. Ace may be scary card and your opponent will often fold better hand (10 better kicker) in case he already has 2pair you have some outs.

i checked behind on the turn.

river was another K for 983KK board he checked again i bet about 1/4 of the pot ($100) he called and mucked.

I like pushing, it's not even an overbet at this point. Unless he has a monster, he's got to hate the K.

[lehighguy]

I stopped reading at the $20 preflop bet. That isn't enough. You don't want callers right?

Raise at least 4xBB + 1 for each limper.

[jcmoussa]

Why wouldnt he want callers with this hand? He's building up a pot.

[JKratzer]

I think at this point I'd bet about 3/4 of his stack. This effectively puts him all-in, but looks a little more legit(than an all-in) I think. He probably doesn't like the K, so I would expect a fold, but if you do get in you've got outs....
