Super Tuesday hand

[DarrenX]

Comments on my line appreciated:

Blinds 25/50, avg stack 1400, I have 2600, villian in BB has 3200. Just moved to the table, so no reads.

UTG+1 I limp w/87s, sb completes, BB checks.

Flop is 568r- sb checks, BB bets 125 into 150 pot.

I call, sb folds.

T on the turn to complete the rainbow. BB bets 275 into 400 pot. I call. River is another 5. Villian bets 1000 into 950 pot. I go to the tank taking the full time and call.

I think you're good better than 1 in 3 here so I'd make the call. Villain played that hand a lot like a draw that missed.

Couldn't it also be a flopped 2 pair? His betting pattern seems as if he's trying to push hero off a draw.

I raise the flop to try to win a free turn.

Yes. I think villain has a wide range here.

I like this too. A raise to 375 on the flop is a good play.

Thought about it, but didn't want a reraise that would make me hurl my McDonald's #1 with 5 extra chicken nuggets all over the keyboard. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] But I've said too much...

So how was your supper holding up after you called off t1275 for nothing?

A reraise would let you out of the hand pretty easily though. And he may try to check raise you on the turn if he has a real monstor, by which point you can take a free card and try to hit your straight on the river.

On top of that, the raise opens up more options on the river if he checks to you again, or bets out 1000.

Raising would have givin you a lot more information for fewer chips, along with so many more possibilites of slowing him down and getting to the river cheaply.

If he reraises, it should be big, and you can let go, knowing he has a big overpiar/straigt/trips/two pair. I'd let my gutshot/one pair go to that range.

Edit: Disclaimer: I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to MTT, I'm still learning.

You're gonna have to post the results to this one at some point. My prediction is that he had a 5 in his hand, you were ahead until the river, and you won't be going back to McDonalds for awhile.
